[Implementation of the guidelines for the introduction of new drugs (GINF) in Andalusian hospitals]. / Implantación de la guía para la incorporación de nuevos fármacos (GINF) en los hospitales andaluces.

OBJECTIVE: To measure the level of implementation of the GINF (guidelines for the introduction of new drugs) in Andalusian hospitals, describe the characteristics of this implementation and analyse if any of the hospital s dependent variables could influence these characteristics. METHOD: A telephone survey was carried out in the hospitals included in the Department of Health list. The survey consisted of 11 closed questions on different variables in the hospital and the GINF use profile, and an open question about the improvements carried out and proposals for improvement. The results were analysed according to the type of hospital (category, training, geographical location) in order to detect possible differences. RESULTS: A target population of 31 hospitals was identified. The survey was carried out in 29 of these; the level of implementation was 96.5% in the responding hospitals. 23 hospitals used the GINF for 100% of drugs, 6 had carried out local modifications and 80% made proposals for improvement. Significant differences were found in the implementation of the GINF according to resident/intern pharmacist training (p = 0.049), the geographical location (p = 0.004) and the hospital category (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The GINF have been implemented in almost all public Andalusian hospitals as the guidelines for requesting new drugs. Very few local modifications have been carried out to the guidelines, although numerous proposals for improvement have been made. Differences in use have been identified (No. of drugs, different versions) according to the hospital characteristics (location, training and complexity classification). They are considered a useful tool and influence the drug selection process, in particular in training hospitals with a higher classification.

Objetivo: Medir el grado de implantación de la guía GINF enlos hospitales andaluces, describir las características de dichaimplantación y analizar si algunas variables dependientes del hospitalpudieran influir en las mismas.Método: Se realizó una encuesta telefónica a los hospitalesincluidos en catálogo de la Consejería de Salud. La encuesta constabade 11 cuestiones cerradas sobre diferentes variables del hospitaly del perfil de utilización de la GINF, y una cuestión abiertaque recogía mejoras realizadas y propuestas de mejora. Se analizaronlos resultados en función del tipo de hospital (categoría, docencia,localización geográfica) para detectar posibles diferencias.Resultados: Se identificó una población diana de 31 hospitales.La encuesta pudo realizarse en 29; el grado de implantaciónfue del 96,5% en los hospitales respondedores. Veintitrés hospitalesutilizaban la GINF para el 100% de los fármacos, seis habíanrealizado modificaciones locales pero el 80% realizó propuestasde mejora. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la implantaciónde la GINF en función de la docencia FIR (p = 0,049), lalocalización geográfica (p = 0,004) y la categoría de los hospitales(p < 0,001).Conclusiones: La guía GINF ha sido implantada en la prácticatotalidad de los hospitales públicos andaluces para la solicitudde nuevos fármacos. La guía apenas ha sido modificada localmente,aunque se recogen numerosas propuestas de mejora. Se identificandiferencias en su utilización (número de fármacos, diferentesversiones) en función de las características del hospital (localización,docencia y complejidad). Es considerada una herramientaútil e influyente en el proceso de selección de medicamentos,sobre todo en los hospitales docentes de mayor complejidad
