Abstract

The purpose of this titling work was to implement Good Storage Practices (BPA) of medicines within the pharmacy warehouse of the Basic Hospital "Doctors and Associates ClinChimborazo Cia.Ltda" of the city of Riobamba, through the design of a Manual of Standardized Operating Procedures (SOPs) based on what is established in the Guide for the Reception and Storage of Medicines of the Ministry of Public Health (MSP). This research was carried out through the execution of five stages: situational analysis of the pharmacy winery, design of the Standardized Operating Procedures (POE's) formats according to the needs of the institution, training and training of the personnel in charge of the warehouse of pharmacy for a correct management of the manual, implementation and the final evaluation about the implementation of the POEs, thanks to which it was possible to observe an improvement in each of the parameters established in the current regulation established by the MSP. Once the investigation was completed, the following results were obtained in each of the established parameters: Organization, Personnel, Training and Training step from 33% to 93% compliance, Infrastructure of the areas or facilities for storage step to 64% to 100 % compliance, Equipment and Materials step from 67% to 100% compliance, Reception, Storage, Documentation, Distribution, Returns and Claims Step 42% to 100% compliance and Self-inspection step from 0% to 80% compliance. That is to say, in a general way, it went from 41% to 95% compliance. Thus concluding that Good Storage Practices are a fundamental part for ensuring that each of the medications found within the institution meets the specifications established by the manufacturer, which allows the service provided by the Hospital to be Quality for the population. Standardization of other operating procedures, related to storage, such as the distribution of medicines to the different areas of the institution, is recommended.
