Plano de intervenção para reorientação da renovação de prescrição de medicamentos de uso continuo pela Equipe de Saúde da Família do Município de Maripá de Minas – Minas Gerais

Abstract

Renewal of prescriptions for medications for continuous use occurs frequently in the Basic Health Units. Understanding the prescription repetition scale and the patient's evaluation is an important aspect for the medical professional to plan services and develop policies that contribute to the improvement. monitoring the patient. It is notable that there is a lack of data on the renewal of prescription drugs. As it is a posture that exposes patients to risks, medical prescription requires an analysis of the possibility that the drugs are still appropriate to the current condition of the person being monitored. This work aims to develop an intervention plan in order to reduce the number of people who visit the health unit to simply exchange prescriptions for medicines for continuous use. To support the realization of the intervention plan, a bibliographic search was made in the databases of the Virtual Health Library to raise the existing evidence on the subject. The intervention plan was prepared following the steps of strategic situational planning. It is hoped that with the proposed actions and with the suggested protocol, it will be able to organize the service of the population with regard to revenue renewal.
