ESTRATÉGIAS PARA DIMINUIÇÃO DE ERROS DE FORNECIMENTO DE PSICOTRÓPICOS EM UMA UNIDADE BÁSICA DE SAÚDE: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA DE IMPLEMENTAÇÃO

Abstract

Introduction: Access to medicines considered essential is established through mechanisms that allow the continuous updating of the National List of Essential Medicines, an essential instrument of action of the SUS, as it includes a list of products necessary for the treatment and control of prevalent pathologies in the country. In DF, the current REME AB has a list of 32 drugs that are subject to special control prescription. The presence of the pharmacist in the unit is mandatory for the supply of these items, as the dispensing, as well as the analysis and interpretation of the prescription, is a private attribution. However, given the lack of Health Specialists, the supply of these drugs is often done by administrative technicians under supervision, contributing, among other reasons, to the incidence of supply errors. Objective: to report the experience of designing and implementing strategies that aim to alleviate errors in the supply of medications subject to special control. Methodology: descriptive study of the experience report type from the problematization of the Arch of Maguerez. Results and discussion: there was a divergence between the physical stock and the computerized stock of psychotropic drugs, making it necessary to detect the origin of the errors and why they occurred and, subsequently, develop strategies and tools to reduce the occurrence of errors. Thus, double checking was implemented during delivery, preparation of the batch/validity stamp, daily counting of physical stock and computerized stock, and training of administrative technicians. Conclusion: the implementation of these measures proved to be important to reduce supply errors, preventing the occurrence of possible harm to patients or damage to their drug treatment.
