ABSTRACT

La trazabilidad es la capacidad para rastrear la historia, aplicación o ubicación de un objeto bajo consideración. En el ámbito farmacéutico, el rastreo y seguimiento de los medicamentos, incluyendo las vacunas y otros medicamentos biológicos, a lo largo de la cadena de suministro constituye un requisito obligatorio establecido por las autoridades sanitarias a nivel internacional, que se exige en mayor o menor magnitud en las reglamentaciones vigentes. En este artículo se analiza el sistema de codificación y clasificación en el sector de la salud y su estado actual en la cadena de suministro de medicamentos de Cuba. Se presenta un procedimiento para la implementación de las tecnologías de auto-identificación e intercambio electrónico de datos, mediante el uso de GS1 en el sistema de codificación y clasificación empleado en el sector de salud, que permita la trazabilidad en toda la cadena de suministro en Cuba(AU)


Traceability is the capability to track the history, application or location of an object under consideration. In the pharmaceutical field, the tracking and monitoring of medicines, including vaccines and other biological medicines, along the supply chain constitutes a mandatory requirement established by the sanitary authorities at an international level, which is demanded to a greater or lesser extent in the regulations in force. This research was carried out involving different links in the drug supply chain in Cuba, ranging from drug suppliers, drug distribution company, to healthcare centers and pharmacies. An analysis is carried out on the current coding and classification system, detecting the ineffectiveness of the identification of the drugs as the main deficiency. A procedure is proposed for the implementation of the auto-identification and electronic data interchange technologies using GS1 in the coding and classification system used in the health sector that allows traceability throughout the supply chain in Cuba(AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Este trabalho objetivou analisar as embalagens e rótulos de medicamentos, identificando semelhanças entre os mesmos que possam conduzir a erros de medicação passíveis de ocorrer por troca, em diferentes setores da farmácia de um hospital universitário do nordeste do Brasil. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional e transversal, que abrangeu 300 apresentações farmacêuticas, sendo (150 duplas) fotografadas no período de maio a dezembro de 2010. A análise de concordância dos dados referente às fotos de embalagens e rótulos possivelmente semelhantes foi validada utilizando o índice Kappa. RESULTADOS: Do total de medicamentos avaliados (n = 150), cerca de 43 por cento dos "possivelmente semelhantes" estavam na farmácia central (n = 65) e se relacionaram a soluções parenterais de pequeno volume. A força de concordância interobservadores na categoria "muito semelhante entre si" foi considerada "satisfatória" (índice Kappa = 0,584) em 90,66 por cento dos medicamentos avaliados (n = 136). A análise do Kappa geral do estudo foi de 0,488. As variáveis com significância estatística foram: "mesma cor do rótulo ou embalagem", com os respectivos percentuais, tanto para embalagens primárias como secundárias (52 por cento-44 por cento), com p = 0,028. A variável "mesma cor das apresentações farmacêuticas" obteve valores e significância estatística semelhantes à variável anterior. Quanto à variável "mesma disposição dos dizeres", os valores encontrados para ambas as embalagens foram próximas a 50 por cento, com p = 0,001 e, para a variável "mesma cor dos dizeres", os percentuais encontrados foram: (50,7 por cento-44 por cento) (p = 0,008). CONCLUSÃO: Nossos resultados identificaram semelhanças relativas à rotulagem de medicamentos com potencial, principalmente, para erros de dispensação, armazenamento e administração se medidas preventivas não forem adotadas.


OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine drug packaging and labeling, identifying similarities among them that may lead to medication errors, which may occur by unintentional substitution, in different sectors of the pharmacy of a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional observational study, which included 300 pharmaceutical presentations (150 pairs) that were photographed from May to December 2010. Concordance analysis of data related to the pictures of possibly similar packaging and labels was validated using the Kappa index. RESULTS: Of all drugs evaluated (n = 150), about 43 percent of "possibly similar drugs" were in the central pharmacy (n = 65) and were related to small-volume parenteral solutions. The strength of interobserver agreement in the category "very similar to each other" was considered "satisfactory" (Kappa = 0584) in 90.66 percent of the drugs evaluated (n = 136). The overall Kappa analysis of the study was 0.488. Variables with statistical significance were: "same color label or packaging", with the respective percentages for both primary and secondary packaging (52 percent-44 percent), p = 0.028; the variable "same color of drug presentation" obtained similar values and statistical significance to the previous variable; for the variable "same arrangement of words", the values found for both packages were close to 50 percent, p = 0.001; and for the variable "same color of the words", the percentages were: (50.7 percent - 44 percent) (p = 0.008). CONCLUSION: Our results indicate similarities related to the labeling of drugs with potential for errors, especially in dispensing, storage, and administration if preventive measures are not adopted.

ABSTRACT

The importance of drug labels can not be overlooked. Many a times drug labels are missing which may lead to toxicological effects catastrophic accident and medico -legal implication. The objective of the present study was to learn and highlight the problems faced by the medical practitioner, pharmacist and the patients as regards to drug label it’s, medico- legal problems and suggest remedial measures. 55 medical practitioner of Government Medical College, Haldwani and 40 pharmacist of Haldwani town were surveyed through a questionnaire. The 90% of medical practitioners and 80% of pharmacist had faced problem with label related errors. None had been charged for malpraxis and negligence. Remedial measures suggested were barcoding (96%, 60%) colour coding, prefilled syringes (90%, 30%), increasing font sizes and more awareness about medico-legal liability, ethical issue and punishment. Drug label errors are an important cause of patient morbidity, mortality and medico-legal liabilities of medical practitioners. Improved and correct labeling understanding medico-legal importance and communication is the key element in minimising errors. Bar code generated labels, embossing, waterproof labels, improving quality of stickers, increasing font sizes, overcoming language barriers and sense of responsibility will readdress these deficiencies in services.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Se presenta el método para diseñar etiquetas de medicamentos centrados en el usuario, aplicado a un analgésico pediátrico. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: El Communication Research Institute (CRI) de Australia desarrolló este método, consistente en seis etapas que cubren todos los aspectos relacionados con el diseño de una etiqueta. Para aplicarlo por primera vez al analgésico pediátrico en México, y en sociedad con el CRI, el Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Diseño realizó diversos ajustes, como la modificación del nivel de desempeño o la inclusión de preguntas al protocolo. RESULTADOS: La aplicación de este método a la etiqueta del analgésico mejoró sustancialmente la localización y comprensión de la información del medicamento en "usuarios en riesgo", lo cual garantiza que el público general obtendrá la información adecuada para automedicarse correctamente. CONCLUSIONES: La aplicación del método llevó a firmar, en 2005, las Guías de etiquetado para medicamentos de libre acceso en México.


OBJECTIVE: This study presents the application of a method to design medicine labels centred in the user and applied to a Mexican children's analgesic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The method was developed by the Communication Research Institute (CRI) of Australia and consists of six stages that thoroughly consider all aspects related to medicine labels. This method was applied for the first time in Mexico by CRI and by the Centre for Advanced Studies in Design (CEAD), but it required a number of modifications to adjust it, like modifying the label's performance requirements and incorporating different questions to the protocol. RESULTS: The application of this method to the children's analgesic improved significantly the localization and comprehension of the information by "users at risk", which guarantees that the general public will get adequate information for correct self-medication. CONCLUSIONS: The application of this method led to sign the Guides for OTC labels in Mexico in 2006.
