Medición de la calidad de la prescripción de medicamentos y el problema de la prevención de las prescripciones inapropiadas: Una revisión (Pharmaceutical Prescription Quality Measurement and the Problem of the Prevention of Inappropriate Prescriptions: A Review)

Abstract

Spanish Abstract: El presente articulo pretende ser una sintesis del topico de la medicion de la calidad prescriptiva de medicamentos. En la medicina contemporanea, la interaccion entre los medicos y los representantes de las companias farmaceuticas afecta, en mayor o menor grado, el juicio clinico respecto a sus decisiones de prescripcion, y conduce al problema de las prescripciones inapropiadas, orientadas a maximizar ingresos. Con el riesgo de atencion innecesaria, sobreprescripcion, polifarmacia o efectos adversos evitables. Este conflicto de interes erosiona la confianza que los pacientes tienen en sus medicos, influye negativamente en el grado de observancia de los estandares de calidad de atencion y aumenta el costo de prescribir porque las preferencias de prescripcion usualmente favorecen a los nuevos medicamentos de alto precio en vez de sus alternativas, terapeuticamente equivalentes, de menor costo. English Abstract: This article synthesizes the topic of pharmaceutical prescription quality measurement. In contemporary medicine, the interaction between physicians and drug companies´ reps affects the clinical judgement regarding prescribing decisions, and contributes to lead to the problem of income-driven inappropriate prescriptions. With a risk of unnecessary care, overprescription, polypharmacy, or avoidable adverse effects. This conflict of interest erodes the trust the patients have in relation to their doctors, negatively influences the degree of compliance with standards of quality-of-care and augments the cost of prescribing because the prescribing preferences usually favor brand-name, high-priced new pharmaceuticals in lieu of cheaper, therapeutically equivalent, alternatives.
