Resumen
Objetivo: evaluar los recursos de información disponibles en el Centro de Estudio,
Documentación e Información de Medicamentos (CEDIMED).
Métodos: se identificaron aquellas fuentes, servicios y sistemas que pudieran
llegar a alcanzar la categoría de entidad o recurso de información dentro del
CEDIMED, empleando la metodología INFOMAP. Se recolectaron datos sobre el
costo de los recursos identificados y se desarrolló un ordenamiento de estos según
su característica. Se determinó el índice de valor para cada ERIs y se elaboraron las
matrices de usuario, gerente y suministradores, lo que posibilitó conocer el rol de
cada miembro de la organización con respecto a los recursos de información. Se
analizó la variable fondos de información, en la que se estudiaron un total de 15
indicadores.
Resultados: se identificaron 47 entidades o recursos de información disponibles en
el centro; de estas 36 internas y 11 externas. Los fondos documentales con los que
cuenta el CEDIMED no presentaron un alto grado de actualización; sin embargo, las
temáticas contenidas en estos, resultaron altamente pertinentes a las funciones de
este tipo de organización. Alrededor de la mitad de los indicadores analizados fue
evaluado de excelente; sin embargo, la variable fondos de información fue regular.
Conclusiones: todo centro o servicio de información sobre medicamentos debe
contar con recursos de información de calidad y fácil acceso por los usuarios; así
como establecer una política para el desarrollo de los fondos y la realización de
estudios sobre el uso de las diversas colecciones disponibles en la institución.
