Pharmaceutical validation is an activity performed by pharmacists that involves the clinical evaluation of prescriptions to determine the appropriate dispensing of pharmaceutical products, while the rational use of medicines aims to ensure that patients receive appropriate, safe, and cost effective therapies. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between pharmaceutical validation and the rational use of medicines in digital prescriptions for outpatients treated at San Bartolomé Hospital during 2023. The study was descriptive, with a non experimental, retrospective, and correlational design, analyzing 2,049 digital prescriptions and evaluating adherence to indications, errors, and prescribing patterns. The results showed 72% compliance and 28% non-compliance in the recording of indications. Regarding the reasons for the rational use of medications, 41% corresponded to prescriptions with previously prescribed medications and 43% to over-prescription, which generated a total savings of S/. 82,489.92. Furthermore, 10,425 units of medication were not dispensed, the specialties with the highest number of interventions during pharmaceutical validation were identified, and significant savings were achieved in high-cost medications. It is concluded that pharmaceutical validation contributed significantly to the rational use of medications, optimizing dispensing, strengthening patient safety, and improving the efficiency of institutional resource management.
