Abstract
Objective: To analyze the non-conformities in the prescriptions received at the outpatient pharmacy of a state hospital in São Paulo, being the basis for the proposal to implement the electronic prescription module. Methods: This is a descriptive study, with the analysis of the main forms of preparation revenue served between March 1 to 30, 2018. Using this, a script with variables: Type of revenue; Calligraphy or spelling; Use of abbreviations; Use of DCB; Treatment specification. Results: Of the analyzed recipes (96%) presented errors. Of the manuscripts (16%) with writing/handwriting errors, (13%) without identification of the prescriber, (93%) had abbreviations and (29%) did not have the DCB. In those typed, (97%) had errors, (76%) the presence of abbreviations and (24%) the absence of DCB. The decision errors in the manuscripts, the lack of potency in (7%), and (79%) did not show the number of drugs to be dispensed and (17%) without the duration of the treatment. In those typed (74%) they did not show the amount of medication to be dispensed and in (37%) the duration of treatment was absent. Conclusion: The implantation of an outpatient electronic prescription can mean the reduction of factors that induce errors and the absence of information inherent to the pharmacotherapeutic schemes prescribed for the patient.
