MEDSTOOK - Gestão de Controle de Farmácia

Abstract

The management of medication stock in Basic Health Units (UBS) is one of the main challenges of the Brazilian public health system, due to wastage of inputs, shortages, and direct impacts on patient care. This work presents the development of a computer- ized inventory control system, focusing on optimizing processes, increasing traceability, and reducing losses. The research was based on a literature review, requirements gathering, and implementation of essential functionalities, such as expiration alerts, restocking notifications, and detailed records of movements. For evaluation, the System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire was applied to 30 participants with different profiles, including health professionals and administrative staff, yielding results that demonstrated high acceptance of the system.ease of use, low perception of complexity, confidence in usage, and a quick learning curve. Additional tests with representatives from municipal public health reinforced the applicability of the tool, highlighting its relevance for both strategic management and practical use in the daily operations of UBS (Basic Health Units). It is concluded that the proposed system significantly contributes to the efficiency of Pharmaceutical Assistance, reducing costs from waste, ensuring greater availability of medications, and strengthening trust in public health services.
