          Abstract

          RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar el impacto en el gasto, consumo y aceptabilidad tras la implantación de prescripción electrónica y un sistema de dispensación automático en una unidad de hospitalización. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo pre-post implantación, comparativo en consumo (unidades) y gasto (euros) de medicamentos durante los periodos enero-noviembre 2017 y enero-noviembre 2018. Se midió impacto económico de la implantación aplicando costes de 2017 a la actividad 2018. Se realizó una encuesta de valoración de la seguridad, calidad asistencial y aceptación al personal de enfermería. Resultados: El consumo en medicamentos tras la implantación fue un 5,76% inferior con respecto al periodo anterior. La distribución porcentual del consumo de unidades según vía de administración fue similar entre ambos periodos. Durante el periodo 2018, el gasto fue un 2,76% superior, asociado a un aumento en la actividad y al incremento del coste por unidad de medicamento. Sin embargo, el gasto y consumo ponderados por ingreso, fueron un 10% y 16,5% inferiores, respectivamente. El impacto económico de la implantación supuso una disminución del gasto en medicamentos de 15.656 euros. El resultado de las encuestas arrojó una valoración positiva en seguridad, más del 70% de los encuestados consideraron que los armarios previenen administraciones innecesarias, alergias y errores en la selección de medicamentos. Conclusión: La implantación de la prescripción electrónica y de un sistema automatizado de dispensación disminuye los costes asociados al consumo de medicamentos. Mejora la adaptación de las presentaciones farmacéuticas a la prescripción y la seguridad en el uso de los medicamentos.

          SUMMARY Objective: Impact evaluation of expenditure, consumption and acceptability in the implementation of the electronic prescription and the automatic dispensing cabinet in a hospitalization unit. Material and methods: Pre-post implantation comparative retrospective study, in which the consumption (units) and expenditure (euros) of drugs were compared during 2 periods, pre-period (January-November 2017) and post-period (January-November 2018). The economic impact of the implementation was measured by applying the costs of 2017 to the activity of 2018. A survey was also carried out to assess the safety, quality of care and acceptability of nursing staff of the unit. Results: Total units of drugs consumed after implementation were 5.76% lower compared to the previous period. The distribution of unit consumption according to the route of administration was similar between both periods. During the period of 2018, spending on medicines was 2.76% higher, associated with an increase in activity, spending and consumption weighted by income, 10% and 16.5% lower, respectively. The economic impact of the implementation meant a decrease in the cost of medicines of 15,656 euros. The result of the surveys yielded a positive evaluation in security, more than 70% of the nurses considered the automated dispensing cabinet prevent administration in case the allergies and the errors in the selection of medicines. Conclusions: Implementation of electronic prescription and automatic dispensing cabinet produce a decrease in the healthcare costs. As well as a better adaptation to the prescription and an increase in the safety use of medicines. The nursing staff recognizes this new system as safer than the manual floor stock system.

          Medication errors: prevention using information technology systems.

          1. Given the high frequency of medication errors with resultant patient harm and cost, their prevention is a worldwide priority for health systems. 2. Systems that use information technology (IT), such as computerized physician order entry, automated dispensing, barcode medication administration, electronic medication reconciliation, and personal health records, are vital components of strategies to prevent medication errors, and a growing body of evidence calls for their widespread implementation. 3. However, important barriers, such as the high costs of such systems, must be addressed through economic incentives and government policies. 4. This paper provides a review of the current state of IT systems in preventing medication errors.

              Decentralized automated dispensing devices: systematic review of clinical and economic impacts in hospitals.

              Technologies have been developed over the past 20 years to automate the stages of drug distribution in hospitals, including ordering, dispensing, delivery, and administration of medications, in attempts to decrease medication error rates. Decentralized automated dispensing devices (ADDs) represent one such technology that is being adopted by hospitals across Canada, but the touted benefits, in terms of improved patient safety and cost savings, are increasingly being questioned.
