RESUMEN
La calidad es un concepto clave hoy día para los servicios sanitarios. Ella es considerada una variable esencial por la mayoría de las organizaciones. No es posible hablar de buena gestión en un centro o servicio sanitario, si no se incorpora un sistema de mejora continua de la calidad, ya que hay suficiente evidencia para afirmar que dichos programas son un instrumento para elevar la eficiencia clínica y económica. Esto ha provocado una larga carrera hacia la acreditación y evaluación externa por entidades que puedan dar fe del nivel de calidad alcanzado por la organización. Es por ello que lograr un sistema de acreditación de farmacias hospitalarias, con fines no solo evaluativos sino de crecimiento y desarrollo, sería una respuesta a esta necesidad. Cabe señalar la importancia de que dicho programa se ajuste a la realidad existente en Cuba y se pueda adaptar dinámicamente a las diferentes situaciones que se presentarán.
ABSTRACT
Quality is a key concept for health services today and considered as a fundamental variable for most of the organizations. It is impossible to speak about good management in a health care service or center if a permanent quality improvement system is not involved since enough evidence indicates that such programs are tools for higher clinical and economic efficiency. The aforementioned has brought about a long run for accreditation and external evaluation by agencies that are able to endorse the quality level attained by the organization in question. This is why implementing an accreditation system for hospital pharmacies, not only for evaluation but for growth and development, would be an appropriate response to this requirement. There should be pointed out the importance of adapting this program to the existing realities of Cuba and of adjusting it in a dynamic way to the many situations that may come up.
