Abstract :
Many advances in medicine, but the occurrence of errors that accompany the completion of forms are inevitable for the human condition [3]. An information system is to achieve the prescription indicating possible drug interactions, reducing a large number of incidents related to medical errors. The implementation of the system also reduces the time of hospital beds and administrative costs, allowing an improvement in quality of care to the patient. The rational use of medicines should be a more effective prescription and pharmaceutical care is responsible for such care.
