Resumo: | Objective: To evaluate errors in prescriptions and percentage of drugs effectively collected, allowing a better understanding of how drugs contribute to the orientation of pharmaceutical assistance in the Basic Health Unit (BHU) Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (HCPA) Santa Cecília. Methods: This was a longitudinal, retrospective study of dispensed prescriptions in a BHU in Porto Alegre, Brazil, over a 1-month period including all prescriptions that had at least one dispensed item. Parameters to be analyzed: 1) origin of medical prescription; 2) unsatisfied demand; 3) use of commercial name; 4) dosage; 5) date; 6) patient’s identification data; 7) prescriber’s identi-fication data;8) prescription’s legibility. Results: A total of 3,701 drug prescriptions were evaluated. As to origin, 24.2% (894) of prescrip-tions came from HCPA; 49.3% (1,824) from UBS HCPA-Santa Cecília; 9.6% (357) from other health units; 9.1% (338) from health plans/private; 7.6% (280) from other hospitals; and 0.2% (seven) had no origin identification. With regard to all prescriptions, 10,189 drugs were prescribed, corresponding to an average of 2.75 (±1) drugs per prescription. Drugs dispensed by the pharmacy at UBS HCPA-Santa Cecília corresponded to 67.1% of that amount. Of the total drugs that were not dispensed, 74.7% belonged to the Municipal List of Drugs. Of 3,701 prescriptions analyzed, 18% showed some type of error. There were 3,519 somatic errors, considering that a single prescription had more than one error. Mean number of errors per prescription was 5.3 (±2). Conclusion: To reach positive results in therapeutics, it is necessary to have a permanent education on the importance of drug prescription for health professionals, avoiding prescription errors and, in many cases, unsatisfied demands. |

Métodos: Estudo longitudinal retrospectivo a partir de prescrições dispensadas em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde em Porto Alegre-RS, durante o período de um mês, incluindo todas as prescrições que tiveram no míni-mo um item dispensado. Parâmetros analisados: 1) procedência da prescrição médica; 2) demanda não-atendida; 3) utilização do nome comercial; 4) posologia; 5) data; 6) dados de identificação do paciente; 7) dados de identificação do prescritor; 8) legibilidade da receita. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 3.701 prescrições medicamentosas. Quanto à procedência, 24,2% (894) das prescrições foram oriundas do HCPA; 49,3% (1.824), da UBS HCPA-Santa Cecília; 9,6% (357), de outros postos de saúde; 9,1% (338), de convênios/particulares; 7,6% (280), de outros hospitais; 0,2% (7) não apresentavam identificação de procedência. Na totalidade das prescrições, 10.189 medi-camentos foram prescritos, o que corresponde a uma média de 2,75 (±1) medicamentos por prescrição. Os medicamentos dispensados pela farmácia da UBS HCPA-Santa Cecília corresponderam a 67,1% deste total. Do total de medicamentos que não foram dispensados, 74,7% pertenciam à Relação Municipal de Medicamentos. Das 3.701 prescrições analisadas, 18% apresentavam algum tipo de erro. Foram encontrados 3.519 erros somatórios, considerando que uma mesma prescrição apresentou mais de um erro. A média de erro por prescrição foi de 5,3 (±2). Conclusão: Para alcançarmos resultados positivos na terapêutica, a educação permanente sobre a impor-tância da prescrição de medicamentos para os profissionais da saúde torna-se necessária, evitando os erros de prescrição e, em muitos casos, de demanda não-atendida.HCPA/FAMED/UFRGS2008-02-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/1982Clinical & Biomedical Research; Vol. 27 No. 3 (2007): Revista HCPAClinical and Biomedical Research; v. 27 n. 3 (2007): Revista HCPA2357-9730reponame:Clinical and Biomedical Researchinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/1982/1670Guzatto, PaulaBueno, Deniseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-01-16T16:14:10Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/1982Revistahttps://www.seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/oai||cbr@hcpa.edu.br2357-97302357-9730opendoar:2020-01-16T16:14:10Clinical and Biomedical Research - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
