RESUMO

The present study was conducted from April 6 to July 21, 2004 with the objective of describing the structure and functioning of the informatized system for the control of the delivery of medications at the Division of Pharmaceutical Assistance of the University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, and to assess the results obtained with its implantation regarding the nursing and pharmaceutical services. A standardized form was distributed to 58 nurses, 10 pharmacists and 15 pharmacist assistants who participated in the structuring phase in order to obtain their opinion regarding the requisition of medications, the form of presentation of the medications distributed by the hospital pharmacy, and the operationalization of the system. As a result, we observed that according to these professionals, the major advantages of the system are: the elimination of manual transcription for the requisition of the prescribed medication, the rapidity, the better identification of the doses prescribed by the doctors, the packaging of the medications containing all the necessary identification, and the verification of the requisitioned and distributed medication by optic reading of the bar code. The data collected in this study permitted us to conclude that most of the persons interviewed consider the system of distribution of medications to be of good quality. Analysis of the data reported here, although it may not involve some important dimensions for the search of a more rational medicamentous treatment, provides information that might contribute to the expansion and refining of the system, also providing support for the execution of studies on the use of medications and opening new perspectives of work and productivity.
