title: [Establishment of a quality indicator for pharmaceutical care].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish a quality indicator for pharmaceutical care in an integral system for personalized medication dispensing (ISPMD) with electronic prescription.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive transversal study.
  
  
  METHODS
  2007. On a daily basis, we revised the pharmaceutical treatment of patients admitted to hospital units with ISPMD.
  
  
  METHODS
  a) suitability of pharmaceutical interventions: important or very important; b) acceptance of those interventions. The LASER method was used to identify patients with improvement opportunities.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In absolute terms (mean +/- SD): important pharmaceutical interventions, 26.6 +/- 14.8; very important, 31.5 +/- 24.6; acceptance, 57.5 +/- 25.9. Percentages (95 % CI): pharmaceutical interventions: important, 33.7 (9.3-58.0); very important, 39.80 (17.7-62.2); acceptance, 72.6 (64.7-80.5).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Implementation of the quality indicator for pharmaceutical care allowed us to evaluate the clinical significance and the acceptance rate of the pharmaceutical care being provided.
