MORENO, Mucio et al. Medical prescription: conditioned reflex or conscious reflection?. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.6, pp.615-617.  Epub 27-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000480.

Writing a prescription or indicating a treatment is usually the last part of medical consultation. This crucial process can be undermined by multiple factors such as limited prescriptive ability, overwork, and lack of reflection or time. Insufficient information about the patient or the treatment affects the prescriptive process and leads to errors that can be serious for patient health. The National Academy of Medicine, in line with the World Health Organization, emphasizes the relevance of making the prescriptive process a reflective exercise.
