Fluxograma para judicialização de medicamentos psicotrópicos no estado de Goiás

Abstract

Medicines judicialization is when the judicial system is used to obtain specific medicines that are not being provided by the public health system or are not covered by private health plans. Due to the increase in psychotropic prescriptions in recent years, there was also a great demand for judicialization of this class of medications. Part of the population that needs these medicines is unaware of the judicialization process or cannot access it, this is due to a lack of prior knowledge of legal tools and a lack of simplified information about the judicialization process and how to access it. As judicialization for many patients is the only alternative to continue the treatment, it is necessary to create a simplified flowchart that facilitates access to information on the judicialization of psychotropic drugs, especially for the neediest population. The methodology used was the selection of articles on journal portals and analysis of data available on the judicialization panel of the State Department of Health of Goiás. “Flowchart for Judicialization of psychotropics in the Goiás State”.
