Objective: To evaluate the impacts that the informatization of the triggers used in the active investigation process of adverse drug reaction (ADR) promoted to a pharmacovigilance service. Methodology: Observational and retrospective study with dispensing data of drugs classified as "triggers" in electronic medical records, who has computerized health information system (HIS) generated reports containing data from the patient and the drug dispensed to him, eliminating the manual investigation step. Results: The was a 48.5% increase in the monthly average of ADR identification and reporting in the institution when compared to the periods before informatization. This increase, however, occurred without requiring an increase in human resources, as well as a reduction in the time used for the execution of the process. Conclusion: The results show the relevance that HIS can confer to pharmacovigilance services, allowing to improve the accuracy of the active ADR detection methodology, reduce the time for execution of the work process, and optimize work logistics.
