| Sumario: | The objective of this study is to present the matrix of monitoring indicators for the implementation of pharmaceutical care and results of the initial phase of the Farmácia Cuidar+ program. The indicator matrix was developed, validated, and evaluated by experts, and subsequently applied in 446 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul that joined the program. The participation of municipalities in the Farmácia Cuidar+ program comprises receiving state financial support for activities related to pharmaceutical care. The matrix comprises 22 indicators, scoring from zero to 100 within eight dimensions: Asthma treatment effectiveness, COPD treatment effectiveness, Adherence, Pharmacist’s clinical services, Pharmacist’s Consulta, Safety, Health education, and Continuing professional development. The median score of the municipalities that responded to the survey (n=351) during the initial phase of the program was 12.00 points, ranging from zero to 50.00, reflecting the incipient implementation of pharmaceutical care in outpatient pharmacies that dispense drugs from the Componente Especializado da Assistência Farmacêutica (CEAF) program. Municipalities with up to 500 patients’ monthly appointment achieved higher scores. Guidance to transportation and storage drug were the clinical activities with the highest scores. The same matrix will be applied during the intermediate and advanced program. The instrument showed feasibility for application and identified weaknesses related to pharmaceutical care in all evaluated dimensions. These indicators are expected to monitor the results of the Farmácia Cuidar+ program implementation related to pharmaceutical care actions. |
