Soluciones para ayudar al farmacéutico a facilitar la vida de sus pacientes, mejorando la adherencia a los tratamientos que tienen prescritos
Fecha de vencimiento: 01-07-2022
Buscamos soluciones, en cualquier fase creativa -desde ya implementadas hasta pendientes de desarrollo y testeo- que permitan ayudar al farmacéutico comunitario a prestar una mejor atención a los pacientes de su farmacia, facilitando la adherencia a los tratamientos que tiene prescritos. Y es que, según diversas fuentes, se estima que en los países desarrollados tan solo la mitad (50%) de los pacientes crónicos cumplen con su tratamiento; y esta cifra es incluso menor si nos referimos a patologías concretas con una alta incidencia, como la hipertensión, las dislipemias o algunos problemas de salud mental. Precisamente, esta falta de adherencia se ha asociado a una disminución de la calidad y esperanza de vida, hace que la enfermedad se controle peor y puedan incrementarse sus complicaciones y, por añadidura, repercute en un incremento en el número de consultas, hospitalizaciones y pruebas complementarias a los pacientes, con el consiguiente incremento del gasto sanitario. Por tanto, la farmacia, como punto de contacto entre el paciente y el sistema de salud, se erige en clave para facilitar la adherencia a los tratamientos de los pacientes y es precisamente lo que pretendemos lograr en esta nueva edición de eDea Salud: encontrar una solución que sirva para ayudar al profesional de la farmacia a facilitar la adherencia a los tratamientos prescritos que entrega en su botica. Además, la solución que se proponga debe garantizar en todo momento la confidencialidad de la información y debe ser lo suficientemente segura de modo que se garantice el cumplimiento de toda la legislación vigente en materia de propiedad intelectual y de protección de datos nacional y europea. La Fundación Pfizer en su constante búsqueda de innovadores sociales, busca en esta convocatoria de e-DEA Salud soluciones que, poniendo en el centro de la propuesta planteada como solución al paciente, le ayude a cumplir con el tratamiento que tiene prescrito, mejore su calidad de vida y evite problemas por no tomarlo cuando corresponde.
