Health institutions, particularly hospitals, are characterized as complex structures that need managers
with a global view of the institution and its relations with the external environment. The hospital pharmacy
is a strategic unit, which cooperates with the institutional management and integrates the multiprofessional
team in the process related to the acquisition, provision and control of essential inputs for
the inpatient care process. The objective in this study is to demonstrate the applicability, in the context
of hospital-based health, of a performance measuring system at the pharmacy.
Method:
A descriptive and longitudinal study was undertaken on the evolution of the key indicator Absence Rate of Standardized Drugs in inpatient care between March 2004 and December 2013. This indicator was employed to monitor the impact of changes the Pharmacy Division has been implementing, as the first step of the pharmaceutical care cycle in the model of the process-based managed approach at a public university hospital. Qualitative data collection methods were used, including observation and documentary analysis, as well as quantitative data collection.Results:
After the application of the model, one point of change in the key performance indicator was detected in the tenth month, when the process-based management model was implemented at the pharmacy.Conclusions:
The process-based management approach was effective for the hospital pharmacy. The premise adopted is that the administrative changes (interferences), focused on the improvement of the processes and the selection and monitoring of indicators, influence the processes, reducing the variability and improving the quality (AU)
As instituições de saúde, especialmente hospitais, são caracterizadas como estruturas complexas que
precisam de administradores com uma visão global da instituição e de suas relações com o ambiente
externo. A farmácia hospitalar é uma unidade estratégica, que colabora com a administração institucional
e integra a equipe multiprofissional no processo que tange a aquisição, provisão e controle de
insumos essenciais para o processo do atendimento do paciente internado. Este estudo tem como
objetivo demonstrar a aplicabilidade, no contexto da saúde hospitalar, de um sistema de medição de
desempenho da farmácia.
