Material and Methods

The automated consultation system is isntalled in a PC (Pentium II) located int the National Pharmacoepidemiology Development Center.

The Service was designed to solve clinical questions that can not be answered by consulting desk references.

From the begining one clinical pharmacologist and a paediatrician worked in the service, fulltime. Queries are received by telephone, e-mail, letters, fax or personal comunication. For each enquiry a standard form is filled in including the number, date, name, position, and address of the enquirer, the problem posed, drug involved, text of the answer, advice given, bibliographic sources used, references, the name of the person responsible for the answer, and a number of key words.

After that the specialists give the correct answer, wich is put in a one of the filds of the form. Thereafter all reports are included in a database fromm wich information can be easily retrieved by the same logic. When an enquiry is made the database is consulted seeking a similar previous enquiry, which may be used wholly on in a part to prepare the response.

The database is built in Acces language and includes some dictionaries such as: a dictionary of keywords, names of microorganims which are included in the database, dictionary of generic names, trade marks and therapeutic groups, organized according to the Anatomical and Therapeutic Classification (ATC) of drug and pharmaceutical drug reactions .

Some of the ouputs of the system are:

- Origin of the consultation received (primary health care, hospitals)

- Distribution of the consultation by speciality.

- Distribution of the consultation by topics.

- Distribution of the consultation by patients or group of patients.

- Distribuction of the comnsultation by months and years.

- Search an especific information.
