RESUMO

Objetivo Elaborar una relación de nombres de medicamentos similares con letras mayúsculas resaltadas, que facilite y estandarice la implantación de esta técnica en prácticas dirigidas a reducir errores por similitud de nombres. Material y métodos Se realizaron dos encuestas estructuradas. La primera incluyó 46 pares, grupos o nombres de medicamentos similares con letras mayúsculas, procedentes de las listas establecidas por la FDA, ISMP y CAPCA/ISMP-Canadá, y 32 seleccionados de la base de datos del ISMP-España y Consejo de COF. La segunda incluyó 27 pares, grupos o nombres propuestos por los encuestados y 11 procedentes de la actualización del ISMP. Se formularon preguntas sobre la utilidad de la técnica y su implantación en los hospitales. Participaron en la primera encuesta 90 farmacéuticos de diferentes hospitales y 89 en la segunda. Resultados La relación de nombres de medicamentos similares con letras mayúsculas resaltadas elaborada recoge 107 nombres agrupados en 44 pares o grupos. Un 93,3% de los encuestados opinó que esta técnica debería implantarse para denominar a los medicamentos, tanto en el etiquetado de la industria farmacéutica (91,1%) como en otros lugares donde aparecen los nombres, como en las pantallas de prescripción informatizada (90%), de farmacia (82,2%) o de los sistemas automatizados de dispensación (81,1%), en etiquetado de preparaciones y estantes, etc. Solo 9 (10%) de los hospitales utilizaban esta técnica. Conclusiones La disponibilidad de esta relación de nombres similares en los que se recomienda utilizar letras mayúsculas resaltadas podría facilitar su aplicación en prácticas de diferenciación de nombres, actualmente reducida en nuestro país(AU)


Objective To develop a list of look-alike drug names with tall man letters, that will facilitate and standardize the implementation of this technique in safety practices designed to reduce errors caused by look-alike names. Material and methods Two structured surveys were carried out. The first survey included 46 pairs, groups, or individual look-alike drug names with tall man letters from the lists established by the FDA, ISMP and CAPCA/ISMP-Canada, and 32 selected from ISMP-Spain and the COF Council database. The second survey included 27 proposals made by those respondents who completed the first survey and 11 from the ISMP updated list. Participants were asked about the usefulness and current implementation of the technique. Ninety pharmacists from different hospitals participated in the first survey and 89 in the second. Results The list of look-alike drug names with tall man letters which has been developed includes 107 names structured into 44 pairs or groups. Of the respondents, 93.3% felt that this technique should be implemented for identifying medications, not only on pharmaceutical industry labels (91.1%) but also in other places where drug names appear, including computerized prescription screens (90%), pharmacy system screens (82.2%), automated dispensing cabinet screens (81.1%), labels for pharmacy preparations and shelves, etc. Only 9 hospitals (10%) were using this technique. Conclusions The availability of this list of look-alike drug names for which tall man lettering is recommended may encourage the use of this technique for differentiating names in Spain where it is currently not greatly used (AU)

RESUMO

Fundamento y Objetivo: Conocer la situación de las prácticas de seguridad de los sistemas de utilización de medicamentos en los hospitales españoles e identificar las áreas de mayor riesgo. Material y Método: Se incluyeron los hospitales que cumplimentaron, del 1 de junio de 2007 al 15 de julio del 2007, el «Cuestionario de autoevaluación de la seguridad del sistema de utilización de los medicamentos», que contiene 232 ítems de evaluación agrupados en 20 criterios esenciales. Resultados: Participaron 105 hospitales de las 17 comunidades autó- nomas. La puntuación media del cuestionario en el total de hospitales fue de 612,7 (39,7% del valor máximo posible) y no se encontraron diferencias según tamaño, capacidad docente o finalidad asistencial. Al analizar los criterios esenciales, los valores más bajos (< 25%) correspondieron a 3 criterios relacionados con formación y competencia de los profesionales, y establecimiento de un sistema de notificación de errores. Otros 9 criterios, con porcentajes del 25 al 50%, se referían a prácticas de: acceso a información sobre pacientes y medicamentos; comunicación de prescripciones; prevención de errores por nombres, etiquetado y envasado; restricción de medicamentos en unidades asistenciales; estandarización de dispositivos de infusión; educación al paciente, y cultura de seguridad y procedimientos de doble chequeo. Conclusiones: Se han identificado numerosas oportunidades de mejora, especialmente en áreas relacionadas con formación, gestión de riesgos, incorporación de nuevas tecnologías y participación de pacientes. La información obtenida puede ser útil para priorizar las prácticas a abordar en las estrategias en seguridad del paciente y como línea basal para efectuar un seguimiento de la implantación de las iniciativas que se acometan (AU)


Material and Method: Those hospitals that completed the «Medication use-system safety self-assessment for hospitals» between June 1 and July 15, 2007, were included in the study. The survey contained 232 items for evaluation grouped into 20 core characteristics. Results: A total of 105 hospitals from the 17 autonomous communities in Spain participated in the study. The average aggregate score for the survey of all the participating hospitals was 612.7 (39.7% of the maximum possible score) and there were no differences found with regard to number of beds, training activity or type of hospital. When core characteristics were analyzed, there were 3 criteria with the lowest values (< 25%), associated with professional training, skills, and the establishment of a system for reporting errors. Another 9 criteria, with percentages between 25% and 50%, reflected practices related to: access to information regarding patients and medications; communication of medication orders; prevention of errors due to naming, labeling, and packaging problems; standardization of medication delivery devices; restriction of medications in patient care units; and safety culture and double-checking procedures. Conclusions: Many opportunities for improvement have been identified, particularly in areas related to training, risk management, incorporating new technologies and patient participation. The information obtained may prove useful for prioritizing practices when establishing patient safety strategies, and as a baseline for successfully monitoring the effectiveness of the initiatives and programs consequently set into motion (AU)

RESUMO

El objetivo del estudio fue valorar la opinión del paciente sobre el medicamento en el hospital y la atención en el servicio de farmacia y diseñar una herramienta para medir la calidad percibida por el usuario. Se realizó un estudio transversal multicéntrico encuestando a 337 pacientes ingresados y 179 ambulatorios. El 93 por ciento de los ingresados están satisfechos en general y el 94 por ciento de los ambulatorios lo está con la información que recibe. Pocos pacientes ingresados tienen contacto directo con el farmacéutico (2 por ciento). Al 77 por ciento de los ingresados les informan sobre los medicamentos y sólo el 37 por ciento conoce los efectos secundarios de éstos. En cuanto a los pacientes ambulatorios, su satisfacción aumenta si se les da información escrita, se les atiende en un lugar separado y se les ofrece la posibilidad de llamar. En definitiva, los pacientes están satisfechos, aunque la información al paciente ofrece al farmacéutico oportunidades de mejora (AU)
