Introduction:

The main target of the proyect is to design a Standard Operational Process (SOP) of presurgery medication reconciliation on otorhinolaryngology patients with coventional hospitalization.

Material and methods:

The SOP design was performed in several stages. Stage 1: bibliography review; Stage 2: candidate patient selection, responsability assignments, establishment of a working circuit, SOP elaboration, pharmacy consultory planification; Stage 3: SOP approval; Stage 4: informative/formative sessions directed to the involved departments.

Results:

1. Otorhinolaringoloty department will carry candidate patient selection; 2. Candidate patients pharmacy consultory appointment previous to preanesthetic consultory; 3. Pharmacy consultory, in which it will be acquired the pharmacotherapy patient list and adherence evaluation along with pharmacology recommendations directed to the anesthesiologist, otolaryngologist and primary care physician; 4. Medication reconciliation report preparation; 5. In the preanesthesic consultory, the anesthesiologist will be able to consult the pharmacy report; 6. Patient admission, during this period, the otolaryngologist may use of the pharmacy report; 7. During patient hospital discharge, the patient will be delivered a report with recommendations for the primary care physician and a mediation schedule with medication administration indactions.

Discussion:

Otolaryngologist patients selection is based on the fact that it is a group of patients with chronic pathologies and comorbilities and therefore, they could benefit from a pharmaceutical care. Divers professionals integration in a multidisciplinary work team, allows to improve and protocolize a Standard Operational Process.
