Abstract(s)
Os eventos adversos ao medicamento são uma das principais causas de lesões e morte em diversos sistemas de saúde, sendo que, muitos desses eventos adversos ao medicamento são pela existência de uma fraca comunicação entre profissionais de saúde e entre o profissional de saúde e o doente durante as várias transições de cuidados do doente e no momento da alta, tornando-se imperativo uma resolução deste problema. Estas falhas de comunicação com o doente podem levar à falta de adesão à terapêutica ou ao reinício de medicamentos descontinuados, promovendo uma terapia inadequada.
Os pacientes idosos, normalmente polimedicados, são os doentes mais propícios a erros de medicação obrigando a um especial cuidado por parte dos profissionais no momento de explicar a medicação.
A reconciliação terapêutica é um processo contínuo e ativo que garante uma comunicação precisa e consistente das informações sobre a medicação do doente nas diferentes transições de cuidados promovendo uma diminuição de erros de medicação.
Nesta dissertação vamos poder constatar que o papel do farmacêutico é relevante no processo da reconciliação terapêutica, fazendo a diferença na revisão da medicação, evitando discrepâncias não intencionais e educando o doente para uma maior adesão à terapêutica.
The adverse drug events are one of the leading causes of injury and death in a variety of health systems. Since many of these adverse drug events are due to poor communication between health professionals and between the health professional and the patient during the various transitions of patient care and discharge, it is imperative that a resolution of this problem. These failure to communicate with the patient can lead to lack of adherence to therapy, resumption of discontinued medications, and inadequate therapy. The elderly patients, usually polymedicated, are the patients who are more susceptible to medication errors, requiring a special care from the professionals when explaining the medication. The therapeutic reconciliation is a continuous and active process that ensures accurate and consistent communication of patient medication information in different care transitions, promoting a decrease in medication errors. In this dissertation, we will be able to verify that the role of the pharmacist is relevant in the process of therapeutic reconciliation, making a difference in the review of the medication, avoiding unintentional discrepancies and educating the patient for a greater adherence to the therapeutics.
