Objectives:
To describe and discuss the work of a Pharmacy Department for the health-care portal www.viatusalud.com.
Methods:
Using a web portal, a Pharmacy Department develops and updates a vademecum on drugs, and answers enquiries by end-users.
Results:
On December 31, 2002 more than 750 records on drugs were available, and 3030 enquiries had been answered.
Conclusions:
With this drug information and online enquiry service, our Pharmacy Department helps meet the demand of health-care information posed by the community and by patients previously seen at Clínica Universitaria. In addition, it allows areas of improvement to be detected in the information to be offered to patients fron a Pharmacy Department, and represents a tertiary source of information for health-care professionals.
