Description
Summary:Objective: The variation of the adhesion of the Guidelines of Clinical Practice (GPC), after the implementation of the “suggested therapeutic” module in the computer system of a private health facility in La Libertad was described. Material and methods: The level of quarterly adherence of GPC was compared before and after the intervention, by an audit of healthcare information Results: The level of adherence of GPC before the amendments was between 63% and 65%, with an increase to 75% after the implementation of the "suggested therapeutic" module. Conclusion: Use of facilitator's modules of healthcare assistance in the information system could improve adherence to GPC, which suggest the need to replicate other studies.
