Abstract(s)
Este trabalho incide sobre a automatização de processos num simulador do Sifarma, um programa amplamente utilizado em farmácias comunitárias, com foco na geração de documentos de crédito para utentes de lares. A investigação identifica as principais ineficiências operacionais associadas ao processamento manual, evidenciando a necessidade de otimização deste processo para uma maior precisão e eficiência no atendimento. Utilizando a metodologia Design Science Research (DSR), o estudo implementa e testa uma solução automatizada em ambiente simulado, analisando as vantagens e limitações da automação para as farmácias comunitárias. O projeto revela que a automação tem potencial para elevar a qualidade do serviço prestado e reduzir erros humanos. O estudo termina com propostas para melhorias futuras, apontando para o valor de integrar sistemas mais avançados que permitam um atendimento personalizado e eficaz. Este trabalho serve como uma base inicial para futuras investigações sobre a digitalização e automação em farmácias comunitárias.
