To study the long-term prescriptions at our health centre, using information supplied by the data base of the long-term treatment programme (LTP). Secondly, to evaluate the programme's efficiency as regards the best use of available time at our Health Centre.
Descriptive study.
Zumaia Health Centre (Guipúzcoa).
The 533 patients at present included in the long-term treatment programme.
7.9% of the adult population were included in the LTP. There was a significant increase, greater than expected, in the 65-74 age group. On average, the patients received 8.2 jars of medicine at each check-up, which on average took place every 54 days. 60% of patients needed three or less different drugs. On average, the programme printed 560 prescriptions per week, thus avoiding a manual filling of prescriptions calculated at 4 hours and 40 minutes.
The transferral to computers of the filling and control of repeat prescriptions is an alternative of sufficient importance to justify its general use. Modification of the present form authorizing repeat prescriptions would greatly increase efficiency. Further studies are required in order to look deeper into the origin and adequacy of prescriptions.
利用长期治疗计划（LTP）数据库提供的信息，研究我们健康中心的长期处方。其次，评估该计划在我们健康中心最佳利用可用时间方面的效率。
描述性研究。
苏马亚健康中心（吉普斯夸省）。
目前纳入长期治疗计划的533名患者。
7.9%的成年人口被纳入LTP。65 - 74岁年龄组有显著增加，高于预期。平均而言，患者每次检查领取8.2瓶药物，平均每54天进行一次检查。60%的患者需要三种或更少不同药物。该计划平均每周打印560张处方，从而避免了计算为4小时40分钟的手工填写处方。
将重复处方的填写和控制转移到计算机上是一个足够重要的选择，足以证明其普遍使用的合理性。修改目前授权重复处方的表格将大大提高效率。需要进一步研究以更深入地探究处方的来源和适当性。
