摘要：Health problems can be caused by improper use of medicines, in this context, a reconciliation of medicines is a process that aims to identify and compare medicines for home use to ensure a better treatment to the patient. In this context, the present study aimed to compare intentional and unintentional discrepancies found in patients prescriptions admitted to the surgical clinic of a public hospital. Through a structured interview, carried out before admission and compared with the prescriptions after admission. Discrepancies were classified as intentional and unintentional. In one hundred (100) patient patients, fifty-nine (59) independent discrepancies. Of these, the majority were female (68%), with a median age of 59 years. Of the fifty-seven (57) unintentional discrepancies found, 78.9% occurred by default, and 15.8% per dose. The intentional ones were sixty-six (66), being 84.9% by default, due to protocols prepared by the hospital. Thus, the study demonstrates a high rate of discrepancies found in patients, suggesting the importance of implementing a pharmacist reconciliation that reduces the number of problems related to pharmacotherapy, to ensure patient safety.
