Abstract

The objective of this research was to implement good practices for the reception, storage and distribution of drugs in the pharmacy at FIBUSPAM ambulatory surgical clinic center. A non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study was carried out, where the current situation of these processes was evaluated through direct observation of the initial conditions of the pharmacy service, an interview with the Pharmaceutical Biochemist and the application of a checklist covering various parameters such as organization - personnel, reception, storage and distribution of drugs; evidencing the initial compliance of 83.02%. Therefore, five standardized operating procedures were developed with the requirements and regulations that must be executed for the preservation and stability of the medication. In addition, staff were trained on the management of these standardized operating procedures (SOPs), using didactic material (slides and poster), in addition to performing various corrective actions such as traffic light labeling of drugs, active dispensing and organization of the physical spaces of the pharmacy. Finally, the results after the implementation were evaluated, the improvement of the initial conditions was demonstrated in 100% of the items specified in the checklist. It is recommended that the pharmacy staff take charge of the continuous updating of the operating procedures, in addition to monitoring the implementation, being constantly necessary training to improve the activities carried out at FIBUSPAM.
