ABSTRACT

Abstract The delivery of clinical pharmacy services has been growing in Brazilian community pharmacies, and it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the topic. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of Brazilian studies about clinical pharmacy services in community pharmacies. Original research articles, with no restriction of time, study design, or patient's health condition, were included. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and Lilacs. Two reviewers conducted the screening, full-text reading, and data extraction independently. ROB and ROBINS-I were used for the assessment of quality. Charts and tables were built to summarise the data. Seventy-two articles were included. A diversity of study designs, number of participants, terms used, and outcomes was found. São Paulo and Sergipe States had the highest number of studies (n=10). Pharmacists' interventions were not fully reported in 65% of studies, and most studies presented an unclear risk of bias. Studies were very diverse, impairing the comparisons between the results and hindering their reproducibility. This review suggests using guidelines and checklists for better structuration of pharmacists' interventions as well as reporting results and measuring fidelity in future research.

ABSTRACT

In Nigeria, drug financing by the public has been challenged by financial constraints through public fund due to a limited fund available to the government to meet all its demands. The objectives of this study were to determine the variability of the hospital patient prices of same drugs under the PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) and in Private Retail Community Pharmacy (PRCP), and to investigate the perceived efficiency and effectiveness of the PPP by comparing it with the Drug Revolving Fund (DRF) model in drug supply financing. This study was conducted in Nigeria utilizing a mixed method. Mann-Whitney U test analysis was used to compare the median drug price of the two facilities. The majority (76.19%) of the drugs were sold at a cheaper rate in the hospital than what was obtained in the PRCP with no significance difference (p > 0.05). Dominant responses from the focused group discussions supported the PPP model. This study shows that the median patient price of the basket of matched pairs of same drugs in the hospital under the PPP and in the PRCP was identical. Overall, the participants were of the opinion that the PPP model was more efficient and effective than DRFin the financing drug supply

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Objetivo: Estudiar los cambios en la utilización de servicios de salud públicos y privados en México entre 2012 y 2018. Material y métodos: Usamos la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición de los años 2012 y 2018 (Ensanut 2012 y Ensanut 2018-19), y datos agregados de la oferta de servicios de salud. Resultados: Los consultorios adyacentes a farmacias (CAF) crecieron aceleradamente y esto se relacionó con un menor uso de servicios públicos, aun en la población con seguridad social. Individuos que viven en municipios con alta densidad de CAF tienen menor probabilidad de usar servicios públicos. El aumento en la afiliación al Seguro Popular (SP) no se acompañó de un incremento de la oferta de servicios públicos y no se relaciona con mayor utilización de servicios públicos. Conclusiones: Derechohabiencia y afiliación no garantizan el acceso a la atención médica en servicios públicos. Dada la creciente importancia de los CAF, es urgente diseñar y evaluar estrategias para regular su desempeño.


Abstract: Objective. To study changes in health care utilization in the public and private sector in Mexico in 2012 and 2018. Material and methods: We used the 2012 and 2018-19 National Health and Nutrition Surveys and aggregated data on the supply of health services. Results. There was an accelerated increase in medical offices in pharmacies (MOP) that was related to a lower use of public health services, even among the population with social security. We found that individuals living in municipalities with a high density of MOP had a lower probability of using public services. The increase in the affiliation to the Seguro Popular (SP) was not followed by an increase in public health services and was not associated with a higher utilization of public health services. Conclusions. Affiliation or health insurance does not guarantee access to public services. Given the high increase in MOP, it is urgent to design and evaluate strategies to regulate their performance.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To characterize the infrastructure of the primary health care pharmacies of the Brazilian Unified Health System, aiming at humanizing the offered services. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study, of quantitative approach, from data obtained in the Pesquisa Nacional de Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos - Serviços, 2015 (PNAUM - National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines - Services, 2015). Information on 1,175 pharmacies/dispensing units were gathered from direct observation and assessment of dispensing units installations conducted by trained researchers who used a standardized form. The analyzed variables refer to the physical structure of pharmacies or medicine dispensing units of the health units under research. RESULTS The pharmacy area was greater than 14 m2 in 40.3% of the sampled units, highlighting those from Midwest (56.9%) and Southeast (56.2%) regions and those of Northeast, with only 23.3%. About 80.2% units had waiting rooms with chairs for patients, 31.8% of them had dispensing areas inferior to 5m2, while in 46.2% these areas were superior to 10m2. Bars were found in service counters in 23.8% of health units, thus separating the patient from the professional; 44.1% had internet access. In most units, the area of medicine storage had no refrigerator or freezer for their exclusive storage and 13.7% had a specific room for pharmaceutical consultation. CONCLUSION Aiming at achieving care humanization and improving working conditions for professionals, the structuring of the environment of pharmacy services is necessary. This would contribute to the better qualification of pharmacy services, comprising more than medicine delivery. Data on the Northeast region indicated less favorable conditions to the development of adequate dispensing services. Based on the panorama pointed out, we suggest the expansion of stimulus concerning the physical structure of pharmaceutical services, considering regional specificities.


RESUMO OBJETIVO Caracterizar a infraestrutura das farmácias da atenção básica do Sistema Único de Saúde, visando condição para a humanização dos serviços ofertados. METODOS Trata-se de estudo transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, a partir de dados obtidos da Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos - Serviços, 2015. As informações de 1.175 farmácias/unidades de dispensação foram oriundas de observação direta e mensuração das instalações das unidades de dispensação realizadas por pesquisadores treinados e uso de formulário padronizado. As variáveis analisadas referem-se à estrutura física das farmácias ou unidades de dispensação de medicamentos das unidades de saúde amostradas. RESULTADOS A área da farmácia foi superior a 14 m2 em 40,3% das unidades pesquisadas, com destaque para as regiões Centro-Oeste (56,9%) e Sudeste (56,2%) e Nordeste com apenas 26,3%. A sala de espera possuía cadeiras para os usuários (80,2%), em 31,8% a área de dispensação era inferior à 5m2 e em 46,2% foi superior a 10m2. Foram encontradas grades no guichê de atendimento, separando o atendente do usuário em 23,8% das unidades; havia acesso à internet em 44,1%. Na maioria das unidades, a área destinada ao armazenamento de medicamentos não possuía refrigerador ou geladeira para o seu armazenamento exclusivo e 13,7% apresentavam área para consulta farmacêutica. CONCLUSÕES É necessária a estruturação da ambiência dos serviços de farmácia visando a humanização do atendimento e a melhoria das condições de trabalho aos profissionais. Isso propicia melhor qualificação do serviço de farmácia para além da entrega do medicamento. Os dados apresentados pela região Nordeste indicam condições menos favoráveis ao desenvolvimento de serviços de dispensação adequados. Com base no panorama apontado, sugere-se a ampliação dos incentivos para a estruturação física dos serviços farmacêuticos, levando em consideração as especificidades regionais.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pharmacists and their pharmacies have been evolving in their roles as health promoters in Brazil. Some examples are the recent legislation reaffirming the role of Brazilian pharmacies as health institutions, rather than having only a commercial profile, giving greater clarity to pharmacists about their roles as health care providers. This evolution came with the recognition that is already seen in other developed countries, confirming the need for the pharmacist as a health promoter, and not simply a dispenser of drugs in society. This study has obtained the profile and activities of community pharmacists, as well as the quality indicators of private community pharmacies throughout the State of Paraná through the application of an online survey sent to pharmacists in the state. Out of all pharmacists surveyed, 533 were part of the final analysis, being the pharmacists to complete the survey in full. Participants were mostly female (69.4%) and were, on average, 35.2 ± 9.2 years old. Of these, 60% worked in pharmacy chains and just 37% of all pharmacist respondents were issuing the Declaration of Pharmaceutical Services. The current study showed that many pharmaceutical services are not adopted by pharmacies as these services bring no significant financial reward. Regarding the structure, the Paraná State showed that pharmacies present a good overall structure. The kind of pharmacy (chain or independent) influenced the pharmaceutical services provided and the available structure, where the independent pharmacies provide a wider range of services and have better structure. This study was able to identify the profile and behaviors of pharmacists and also the quality indicators of pharmacies in Paraná State.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: To describe indicators and processes developed and implemented for pharmaceutical assistance at the Einstein Program at Paraisópolis Community pharmacy. Methods: This was a descriptive study of retrospective data from January 2012 to December 2015. Data were obtained from spreadsheets developed for monitoring the productivity and care quality provided at the pharmacy. The evaluated variables were pharmaceutical assistance to prescription, pharmaceutical intervention, orientation (standard and pharmaceutical) and pharmaceutical orientation rate. Results: The pharmacy assisted, on average, 2,308 prescriptions monthly, dispensing 4,871 items, including medications, materials and food supplements. Since March 2015, virtually, the pharmacist analyzed all prescriptions, prior to dispensing. In the analyzed period, there was an increase in monthly pharmaceutical interventions from 7 to 32 on average, and, although there was a decrease in the number of standard orientation, the pharmaceutical orientation had an increase, causing a rise of pharmaceutical orientation rate from 4 to 11%. Conclusion: The processes developed and implemented at the program pharmacy sought to follow the good pharmacy practice, and help patients to make the best use of their medications.

ABSTRACT

En Cuba, el sector de la salud está inmerso en la implementación de las transformaciones necesarias que se dirigen al uso eficiente y racional de los recursos, las farmacias comunitarias no escapan a este llamado. En el presente trabajo se realiza un análisis crítico de las oportunidades y retos existente para la medición de la eficiencia organizacional de los servicios farmacéuticos comunitarios cubanos. La realidad sanitaria cubana actual ofrece entre los elementos de oportunidad: el contexto político, la inserción de los servicios farmacéuticos como parte del Sistema Nacional de Salud y las experiencias previas metodológicas. A la vez, existen varios retos como: la complejidad de la selección y medida de los resultados, la calidad de la información disponible y el desencuentro entre el tratamiento de estas unidades como empresas o como unidades de salud. Los estudios de eficiencia organizacional de las farmacias comunitarias cubanas constituyen una demanda y una necesidad del perfeccionamiento de la salud pública, pero a la vez constituyen un reto debido al entorno organizacional singular que las caracteriza. Se impone rescatar la visión de las farmacias comunitarias como instituciones prestadoras de servicios de salud y no solo como unidades empresariales expendedoras de medicamentos(AU)


The health sector in Cuba is immersed in the implementation of necessary changes for the rational and efficient use of resources, a process in which the community pharmacies are also included. The present paper made a critical analysis of the opportunities and challenges of the measurement of organizational efficiency in the Cuban community pharmacy services. The Cuban health realities currently offer opportunity elements such as the political context, the insertion of pharmacy services into the national health system and previous methodological experiences. At the same time, there are several challenges to be met as the complexity of selection and measurement of results, the quality of available information and the differences as to dealing with these units as enterprises or as health units. The organizational efficiency studies in the Cuban community pharmacies are both a demand of and a requirement for the public health improvement, but they are in turn a challenge due to their peculiar organizational environment. Recovering the vision of community pharmacies as health service providers rather than entrepreneurial drug sale units is a must(AU)

ABSTRACT

Com base na RDC/ANVISA 67/2007, avaliou-se o serviço prestado na dispensação de sinvastatina cápsulas em farmácias magistrais. Vinte e quatro (16%) das 150 farmácias magistrais foram aleatoriamente selecionadas nas regiões de Belo Horizonte-MG, observando a distribuição geográfica. A qualidade do produto, os aspectos da dispensação e o custo foram considerados em estudos de correlação. Os resultados foram submetidos a análises estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais. Em apenas 25% destas farmácias, o fax da prescrição foi solicitado. Todos os pedidos foram entregues no prazo, porém sem comprovação da dispensação. Em uma das entregas, o medicamento era o incorreto. Seis (25%) dos produtos apresentaram rotulagem incompleta (ausência de posologia 16,3% ou de identificação do médico/paciente 8,7%). Apenas 11 (45,8%) das amostras apresentaram qualidade satisfatória. O custo do medicamento manipulado variou entre R$20,40 e R$44,00 com valor médio R$31,18. Não se observou associação entre a qualidade do medicamento e os aspectos do custo, prazo de entrega e localização geográfica. Verifica-se que a maioria das farmácias magistrais ainda precisa adequar-se à legislação para garantir à população uma assistência farmacêutica de qualidade.


The aim of the present study was to evaluate the dispensing of simvastatin capsules at compounding pharmacies in light of Brazilian public health regulations (RDC/ANVISA 67/2007). Twenty-four (16%) out of 150 compounding pharmacies were randomly selected in the city of Belo Horizonte based on geographic distribution among the different districts. Dispensing services, quality and cost were considered in the correlation studies. The results were submitted to descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. The prescription fax was requested in only 25% of the pharmacies. All orders were delivered on time, but without proof of dispensing. The medication was incorrect in one of the deliveries. Six (25%) product labels were incomplete (16.3% for absence of drug regimen; 8.7% for absence of physician/patient identification). Only 11 (45.8%) of the samples exhibited satisfactory quality. The cost of the compounded drug ranged from R$20.40 to R$44.00 (mean: R$31.18). No association was found between drug quality and cost, delivery or geographic location. In conclusion, the majority of compounding pharmacies need to make adjustments in order to meet the requirements of Brazilian legislation and ensure the quality of pharmaceutical services offered to the population.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os indicadores de estrutura e processo empregados na implantação do serviço de Atenção Farmacêutica na rede Farmácia Popular do Brasil. Para tanto, um estudo piloto descritivo e avaliativo foi conduzido em novembro de 2009 em uma filial da rede Farmácia Popular do Brasil em Aracaju-SE. Os indicadores de estrutura e de processo foram avaliados por meio da aplicação da versão modificada do instrumento Behavioural Pharmaceutical Care Scale. Esta ferramenta foi composta de 34 itens distribuídos em 14 domínios, com escore mínimo de 16 e máximo de 175 pontos. Cada domínio foi avaliado por duas farmacêuticas-pesquisadoras (autorelato) e por dois farmacêuticos-auditores (observação direta). A pontuação média geral dos avaliadores foi de 144,25 ± 6,75, com variação de 138 a 153 pontos. Todos os domínios relacionados à estrutura do serviço e a maioria do processo apresentaram escores elevados (≥ 80%). As principais falhas foram detectadas no domínio referência a outros profissionais de saúde (56,3%), sobretudo, no encaminhamento a outros farmacêuticos 1,00 ± 0,00 (0,0%) e no envio de cartas ao médico 1,50 ± 0,58 (12,5%). Os resultados apontam que estrutura e processo empregados neste estudo piloto mostraram-se satisfatórios, indicando o potencial do serviço de Atenção Farmacêutica adotado para contribuir na elaboração de um modelo de implantação deste serviço para a rede Farmácia Popular do Brasil. No entanto mais estudos são necessários.


The aim of the present study was to evaluate indicators of the structure and process used in the implantation of a pharmaceutical care service of the drugstore chain People’s Pharmacy of Brazil. A descriptive, evaluative study was conducted in November 2009 at a branch of the People’s Pharmacy of Brazil in the city of Aracaju (state of Sergipe). Structure and process indicators were evaluated by applying the modified version of the Behavioral Pharmaceutical Care Scale, which is composed of 34 items divided among 14 subscales, the score of which ranges from 16 to 175 points. Evaluations were performed by two pharmacist researchers (self-reports) and two pharmacist auditors (direct observations). The overall mean score attributed by the evaluators was 144.25 ± 6.75 (range: 138 to 153). All subscales related to the structure of the service and most of the subscales related to the process achieved high scores (≥ 80%). The main flaws regarded referrals and consultations with other health professionals (56.3%), especially referrals to other pharmacists (1.00 ± 0.00; 0.0%) and sending letters to doctors (1.50 ± 0.58; 12.5%). The findings of this pilot study demonstrate satisfactory structure and process, indicating the potential of the pharmaceutical care service to contribute to the development of a model for the deployment of this service to other branches of the People’s Pharmacy of Brazil. However, further studies are needed.

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the key role played by public research institutes for promoting socioeconomic inclusion of local communities based on traditional knowledge and traditional medicine. Nongovernmental organizations and cooperatives have had an important role in raising financial resources, being involved with advocacy of local communities and advancing legislation changes. But strict best manufacturing practices regulations imposed by the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency on the requirements for approval and commercialization of drugs based on herbal medicine products call for the involvement of strong public research institutes capable of supporting community-based pharmacies. Thus, public research institutes are pivotal as they can conduct scientific research studies to evidence the efficacy of herbal medicine products and help building the capacity of local communities to comply with current regulations.


O artigo mostra o papel desempenhado por institutos públicos de pesquisa no Brasil na promoção da inclusão socioeconômica de comunidades locais por meio do uso do conhecimento tradicional e da medicina popular. Organizações não-governamentais e cooperativas são importantes para angariar recursos, defender os interesses das comunidades locais e influenciar mudanças no ordenamento jurídico. Entretanto, exigências de cunho legal relacionadas às Boas Práticas de Fabricação e à necessidade de comprovação da eficácia de medicamentos, impostas pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária, tendem a demandar a intervenção de um instituto público de pesquisa capaz de auxiliar tais comunidades na aprovação e comercialização de medicamentos produzidos a partir de plantas medicinais. Assim, institutos públicos de pesquisa são essenciais para realizar estudos científicos que comprovem a eficácia das plantas medicinais e para auxiliar as comunidades locais a criarem a infraestrutura necessária para atender às exigências da Agência quanto a Boas Práticas de Fabricação.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a qualidade microbiológica de 40 amostras de matérias-primas de fitoterápicos coletadas de farmácias de manipulação da região central Rio Grande do Sul. Foram realizados os testes de contagem de microrganismos viáveis e pesquisa e identificação de patógenos, ambos de acordo com a Farmacopéia Brasileira. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que há presença de microrganismos nas amostras, entretanto, em nenhuma delas, o valor de UFC g-1 ultrapassou o limite estabelecido para fitoterápicos na Farmacopéia Britânica, tanto para bactérias como para fungos. No teste de pesquisa e identificação de patógenos comprovou-se que não havia a presença de Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp, Staphylococcus aureus e Escherichia coli, nas amostras analisadas. As amostras estão aptas a serem comercializadas, pois todas estavam dentro dos limites especificados, e foram aprovadas pelo teste de controle de qualidade microbiológico.


The aim of this study was to analyze the microbiological quality of 40 samples of raw material for herbal medicines collected from compounding pharmacies in the center of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Count of viable microorganisms and search and identification of pathogens were performed, both according to the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia. Results showed that there were microorganisms in the samples; however, in none of them, the value of CFU g-1 was above the limit established for herbal medicines by the British Pharmacopoeia, both for bacteria and fungi. The search and identification of pathogens indicated that there was no Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in the analyzed samples. The samples can be commercialized because all of them were within the allowed limits and were approved in the test for microbiological quality control.

ABSTRACT

O Instituto Nacional de Traumatologia e Ortopedia Jamil Haddad (INTO), uma instituição pública da administração direta do Ministério da Saúde, especializado em traumatologia e ortopedia, recentemente mudou-se para sua nova sede, objetivando ampliar sua capacidade de atendimento na assistência terapêutica e cirúrgica à população com problemas ortopédicos, preferencialmente os de alta complexidade. A ampliação do atendimento aos pacientes trouxe como consequência o incremento de todos os processos assistenciais, inclusive os da Assistência Farmacêutica, coordenados pela Unidade de Farmácia (UFARM). Objetivando o encontro de um modelo gestor assertivo para o conjunto de serviços prestados por esta farmácia hospitalar, o presente estudo construir elementos do conceito de Administração Estratégica que subsidiassem a definição de macro-estratégias para a UFARM com vistas a proporcionar melhorias no gerenciamento do setor. Adotou-se uma metodologia de pesquisa aplicada, de abordagem qualitativa, descritiva; visando uma pesquisa exploratória dos problemas organizacionais do serviço em análise, permitindo a construção das hipóteses e definições desejadas. Uma equipe de farmacêuticos do setor foi estrategicamente constituída, e servindo-se de elementos da técnica de Brainstorming determinaram a missão, a visão e os valores; analisaram o ambiente organizacional, e o cruzamento dos fatores positivos e negativos encontrados - através da matriz SWOT – o que proporcionou a definição dos macro-objetivos estratégicos da UFARM. Evidencia-se com o estudo a disseminação de novas práticas de gestão dentro da UFARM, auxiliando o setor a alcançar os objetivos que se propõe obter com as melhores práticas no âmbito da farmácia hospitalar, bem como crescimento organizacional.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo Conocer las opiniones de los farmacéuticos con relación a los factores que explican la falta de visibilidad de la farmacia comunitaria como establecimiento sanitario y proponer estrategias de desarrollo profesional a fin de lograr mejorar la accesibilidad a los servicios profesionales mediante técnicas de investigación cualitativa. Material y métodos Se utilizó una Técnica de Grupo Nominal (TGN) en 2 rondas sucesivas, respondiendo a 2 consignas guía sobre factores y estrategias. Posteriormente se realizó un Framework analysis. Resultados Se aportaron 34 ideas referidas a factores y 32 a estrategias. Las estrategias fueron agrupadas en 14 temas, destacándose las vinculadas a la priorización de los servicios profesionales orientados a los pacientes, al cumplimiento de la ética y a la formación continua del farmacéutico. Discusión Las técnicas utilizadas permitieron evidenciar situaciones percibidas por los farmacéuticos que no están formalmente descriptas en la literatura. Aumentar la visibilidad de los servicios profesionales en las farmacias comunitarias implica acordar y abordar estrategias que deben sustentarse en la participación conjunta de los propios farmacéuticos, las asociaciones profesionales y las universidades.


Objective Ascertaining pharmacists' views related to factors explaining the lack of visibility of community pharmacies as being health facilities and proposing strategies for improving community pharmacy professional service accessibility using qualitative research techniques. Methods The nominal group technique (NGT) was used in two successive rounds using separate guidelines for factors and strategies. Framework analysis was then carried out. Results Thirty-four ideas related to "factors" and 32 related to "strategies" were obtained. Strategies were grouped into 14 topics, emphasising those prioritising patient-orientated professional services, ethical aspects and pharmacists' ongoing education. Discussion The techniques used led to identifying situations perceived by pharmacists which are not formally described in the literature. Raising awareness of professional services in community pharmacies implies agreeing on and developing strategies which should be based on joint participation by the pharmacists themselves, professional associations and universities.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo sugere uma metodologia de gestão de estoques para uma microempresa do ramo de farmácias de manipulação. Neste documento são apresentados os dois principais métodos de Gestão de Estoques. O primeiro referese ao sistema clássico de empurrar o estoque e o segundo ao Sistema JIT (Just in Time) de puxar o estoque. A farmácia observada não possui nenhum sistema de gestão e sugerimos para o momento o sistema clássico de Reposição Periódica (Quantidade variável e período fixo). Este método minimizará os impactos na gestão de estoques, pois mais de um produto é comprado do mesmo fornecedor e os pedidosde vários itens podem ocorrer em instantes diferentes. Outra recomendação foi o levantamento da curva ABC dos itens e a utilização de um sistema informatizado de gestão de estoques.


This article suggests a method of inventory management for a small firm of pharmacies. This document describes two main methods of inventory management. The first method refers to a traditional approach to push the stock and the second to the JIT (Just in Time) to pull the stock. The pharmacy evaluated has not any management system and there was suggest, for the moment, the classical system Replacement Ownership (variable quantity and fixed period). The method suggested will minimize the impact on inventory management, because more than one product is purchased from the same vendor and the requests for various items can occur at different times. Another recommendation was to survey the ABC curve of items and the use of a computerized inventory management.
