NEGRO VEGA, Eva et al. Quality indicators for technologies applied to the hospital pharmacy. Farm Hosp. [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.4, pp.533-542. ISSN 2171-8695.  https://dx.doi.org/10.7399/fh.2017.41.4.10698.

The TECNO group of the Sociedad Española de Farmacia Hospitalaria (Spanish Society of Hospital Pharmacy) has addressed the definition of a catalogue of indicators for performance, quality and safety in the use of technologies applied to the logistic activity of Hospital Pharmacy Units.

The project was developed with a methodology of qualitative techniques by consensus, with the members of the TECNO Group participating as experts. Once indicators had been defined, a validation phase was conducted, and standards were established based on the result of the sampling carried out in the hospitals of the group members.

A total of 28 indicators were obtained, with their corresponding quality standards applied to the use of technologies in the processed for medication storage, dispensing and preparation.

The definition of quality indicators and their standards for measuring technologies in the use of medication represents a step forward in the improvement of their safety.
