CUESTA MEJIAS, Leonardo. The dispensarization in the "Playa" Teaching University Polyclinic prior to reorganization of basic health kits. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.4, pp.588-594. ISSN 0864-2125.

A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in a randomized sample including 400 individual medical records and a similar number of individual family histories from the total of dispensarization patients presenting with non-communicable chronic diseases seen in the 17 consulting rooms of Family and Nurse Family from the health area of the "Playa" Teaching University Polyclinic, as well as the information from the registries of the Statistics Department of this polyclinic with relation to the activity carried out as the patient's visits in January of present year. All patients in whose medical record was demonstrated that received an integral control in past year in relation to time of its review were considered for the dispensarization. Most of study patients were over 50 years, of female sex and suffering only one chronic disease. More than the 70 % of these patients not receive such control from more than one year. There are real difficulties in use of individual medical records and in those related to the family health. Also, there were failures in application of scientific method in the medical act. We conclude that dispensarization has not been used as the main element present in the Family Physician task and there is a marked difference between that to be established and the reality with relation to dispensarization in this polyclinic.
