ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: In 2015, the Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy (SEFH) launched the Strategic Map for Outpatient Pharmaceutical Care (MAPEX), with the purpose of adapting the activity offered in Hospital Pharmacy outpatient clinics to the new healthcare context. The aim of the present study was to analyse the evolution of outpatient pharmaceutical care in Hospital Pharmacy Services in Spain in the period 2016-2021 after the implementation and development of the MAPEX initiative. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The implementation and development of the project was carried out by a group of experts from SEFH and consisted of five phases: creation of the structure, consensus conference, situation analysis, development of strategic initiatives and evolutionary analysis. To analyse the evolutionary development, a specific 43-item questionnaire was developed that addressed aspects related to structure, context, integration, processes, outcomes and research and was answered in 2016 and 2021 (in the latter case by adding 3 additional questions). RESULTS: 141 hospitals participated in the status survey in 2016 and 138 in 2021. Significant differences were found in all dimensions analysed. None of the aspects assessed suffered a setback in this period. The most highly rated aspects at the general level were the improvement of the care model (65.0%) and at the local level, the incorporation of non-face-to-face pharmaceutical care (42.8%). Further progress in the coming years in the expansion and practical application of the methodology proposed in the project was considered a priority. CONCLUSIONS: The implementation and development of the MAPEX initiative has had a positive impact in terms of quality of care for outpatient pharmaceutical care in Hospital Pharmacy services in Spain.

La infección fúngica peritoneal es poco frecuente pero supone una elevada mortalidad. A pesar de que la principal recomendación es la retirada de catéter cuando se sospecha que es éste el foco de infección, hay ocasiones en las se requiere considerar otras opciones. La administración de anidulafungina intraperitoneal es una técnica sobre la que hay pocos estudios. Presentamos un caso clínico en el que administramos anidulafungina intraperitoneal y analizamos mediante técnica cualitativa la presencia del antifúngico en distintas muestras. Además, calculamos el porcentaje de reducción de anidulafungina entre el líquido de diálisis en el que la diluimos y este mismo tras permanecer 8 horas en la cavidad peritoneal. (AU)
Peritoneal fungal infection is rare but involves high mortality. Although the main recommendation is catheter removal when it is suspected that this is the focus of infection, there are occasions when other options are required.There are few references about administration of intraperitoneal anidulafungin. We present a clinical case in which we administer intraperitoneal anidulafungin and analyze the presence of this antifungal in different samples using a qualitative technique. In addition, we calculate the percentage reduction of anidulafungin between the dialysis fluid in which we diluted it and this fluid after remain 8 hours in the peritoneal cavity. (AU)
