SKRINNING RESEP INTERAKSI OBAT PASIEN DIABETES MELITUS DAN GAGAL GINJAL PERIODE OKTOBER S.D DESEMBER 2023 DI RUMAH SAKIT RASYIDA MEDAN

Abstract

Prescription screening is a critical phase in pharmaceutical services conducted by
pharmacists and pharmaceutical technical personnel upon receiving a
prescription from a patient. This study specifically aims to eval_uate the outcomes
of prescription screening based on administrative and pharmaceutical conformity
analysis at Rasyida Hospital, Medan. The research method employed is a
descriptive cross-sectional approach with a retrospective design, collecting data
from the period of October to December 2023. The study reveals that
administrative eval_uations in prescription screening include several essential
elements such as the patient's name, age/date of birth, address, body weight,
the prescribing doctor's name and registration number (SIP), hospital address,
doctor’s initials, practice phone number, and the prescription date. On the other
hand, pharmaceutical review focuses on elements such as the name of the
medication. With the rising morbidity rate and increased medication use in
hospitals, addressing drug-related problems—particularly those stemming from
inappropriate medication use—has become more urgent. Prescription
assessment plays a key role in preventing such issues. This study aims to
identify the elements with the highest level of incompleteness or prescribing
errors. Incomplete prescriptions are a major trigger for medication errors,
making prescription screening by pharmacists across healthcare facilities—such
as hospitals, community health centers, and pharmacies—a critical practice.
Screening encompasses both administrative and pharmaceutical aspects,
highlighting the essential role of pharmacists in mitigating potential health risks
for patients.
