RESUMEN
The results of a quality control of a computer system of repeated prescription (RPS) and its basic features are reported. The selected quality criteria were the following: reduction of the bureaucratic index in the visit, correct fulfillment of the treatment order, health attention circuits of the RPS, and compliance of the patient with the treatment. The record of activities and a random sample of treatment orders (TO) were used as sources of data. Quality indexes near the optimal standard (OS) were achieved: bureaucratic index 12.8% (OS = 15%), fulfillment of the TO 94% (OS = 100%), specified dosages 86% (OS = 100%), prescriptions in out-of-date orders 7% (OS = 0%), use higher than calculated 1% (OS = 0%), and use lower than calculated 36% (OS = 25%). Finally, the corrective measures for the detected quality problems are proposed, and the advantages of the computer RPS are discussed.
