Abstract

The present curricular integration work aimed to implement good practices of reception, storage, and distribution of medicines and medical devices in the Publio Escobar Basic Hospital – Colta pharmacy, from September 2022 – March 2023. Proposed under a mixed approach, with cross-sectional and observational descriptive design, of non-experimental type. For the collection of data, a survey of pharmacy staff was carried out, and the application of a checklist, which covered parameters such as personnel - organization, infrastructure, equipment - materials, reception, storage, and distribution of medicines and medical devices, marking how it complies and does not comply. In this sense, 62.96% of initial compliance was obtained, so each standardized operating procedure (SOPs) was elaborated, in detail, describing each stage. PEBH health personnel were also socialized using slides. Then we proceeded to implement good practices of reception, storage, and distribution, in addition to carrying out corrective actions such as labels for all medicines and medical devices, cleaning shelves and cold chains, thermal mapping, improvement in the infrastructure and physical space of the pharmacy service, in addition to a list of medicines for payroll. Finally, the post-implementation results were evaluated, evidencing a 96.29% compliance with the parameters initially evaluated in the checklist, concluding that the implementation of the standardized operating procedures was adequate for the pharmacy service. It is recommended to regularly update the standardized procedures, according to current regulations.
