This paper presents two software tools developed by the Conselleria de Sanitat CV (Valencia Regional Health Department) to improve pharmaceutical management and the rational use of medicines. The first tool (SCPcv) stratifies the population into groups according to morbidity using Clinical Risk Groups (CRG) and establishes pharmaceutical consumption forecasts by type of patient and compliance indicators. The second tool (PRM) is used to manage medicine related problems (MRP) under the programme REFAR (Review and Follow Up of Pharmacotherapy). Both tools are improving the quality of care delivered in the scope of pharmaceutical treatments and helping pharmaceutical cost containment.
