Objective:
The general objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of medical prescriptions at the CHU Bocar SALL of Kati before the introduction of a therapeutic form.
Methods:
This was a cross-sectional study with prospective collection covering one year (April 2021-March 2022). A simple random sampling was carried out from the prescriptions (n=1283) of the patients coming for outpatient consultations and the files (n=847) of the hospitalized patients.
Results:
Prescriptions were made mainly by medical specialists, including 468 prescriptions and 612 patient files. The average number of drugs per prescription was 2.66. As for hospitalized patients, they received an average of 5.75 drugs. The "Prescription quality score" obtained an average of 5.19 out of 8 points. A little more than half of the prescriptions were made on the basis of the national list of essential drugs with a rate of 53.31%.The treatments given to the patients were consistent with the diagnoses, with a score of 4.14 out of 5 points.
Conclusion:
Compliance with the rules of good practice for medical prescriptions not only guarantees the quality of care offered to users, but also allows good planning and control of the establishment's future public health actions.
