Health is a basic human right and one of the prosperity elements. However, in its implementation, health services are still not relatively optimal, notably for people living in underdeveloped, border, and island regions. This study primarily aimed to examine the performance of clinical pharmacy services based on the rules of the Indonesian Minister of Health Number 74 of 2016 concerning pharmaceutical service standards in the community health center. This study applied a descriptive-correlative model with a quantitative approach carried out in all Sebatik Island community health centers. All data were analyzed based on seven aspects of clinical pharmacy services consisting of assessment and prescription services, drug information service, counseling, patient visit, drug side effects monitoring, drug therapy monitoring, and the use of medical evaluation. Data collection was conducted by observation using a list of viewers, questionnaires, and interviews, equipped with retrospective data through documentary examination to give a clear depiction. The results of this study showed that the performance of clinical pharmacy services at Sebatik Island community health centers was as follows: zero aspect (0%) was at very high criteria, two aspects (29%) were at high criteria, zero aspect (0%) was at medium criteria, two aspects (29%) were at low criteria, and three aspects (43%) were at very low criteria. The average performance of clinical pharmacy services due to the seven aspects was 52% or considered in low level.

Only 88% of patients were able to repeat the correct dosage regimen of their prescribed medicines. Although the average dispensing time was greater than the recommended 60 seconds, the dispensing time ranged from 3 to 435 seconds.

Background: There have been no existing performance indicators to measure the overall quality of pharmacy services, including the aspects of drug management and clinical pharmacy services, at primary health centres in Indonesia. This study aimed to obtain these indicators based on a consensus of experts. Methods: The modified Delphi method was used to obtain the consensus. The initial indicators, based on a literature review, were evaluated and assessed by members of the expert panel through three rounds of repetition until the consensus was reached. The expert panel members were selected based on their knowledge of or expertise in pharmacy service performance and geographical considerations. Analysis of the expert panel consensus level was determined by calculating the mean and interquartile range. Results: Fifteen expert panel members started the first round (93.7% of the 16 targets) with 12 of them (75%) completing the third round of the modified Delphi method. Three expert panel members were representatives of the Regency Health Office, and the others were pharmacist practitioners at primary health centres from three different regencies. The consensus results were 26 indicators of drug management, 19 indicators of clinical pharmacy services, and two indicators of overall pharmacy performance. Conclusion: The consensus indicators for measuring drug management, clinical pharmacy services, and overall pharmacy performance can be used as a reference and standard to measure the quality of pharmacy services at primary health centres. Therefore, the measurement results are more relevant if compared between one and other studies.

Perception on clinical pharmacy services in a private hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
International Journal of Research in Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020
Clinical pharmacist in Indonesian hospitals has begun to be recognized as an essential part of the healthcare team along with physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals. While recognition is still on the way, the implementation of clinical pharmacy services is still limited. This could occur because of various factors, one of which is the lack of interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional collaborations with other healthcare provider are necessary for a pharmacist to implement their clinical services. Hence, health professionals' perception of clinical pharmacy services would give a contribution to developing strategies for the service in the hospital. This study aims to determine perceptions of health professionals in a private hospital in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on clinical pharmacy services. A total of 96 nurses and 17 physicians were given a questionnaire with items related to clinical pharmacy services. The result showed that health professionals had a pos...
Primary health care policy and vision for community pharmacy and pharmacists in Indonesia
Pharmacy Practice
The practice of community pharmacy in low and middle-income countries, including in Indonesia, is often described as in the state of infancy with several intractable barriers that have been substantially and continuously hampering the practice. Such description might be valid in highlighting how pharmacy is practiced and the conditions within and beyond community pharmacy organizations. Therefore, it is not surprising that the concept of integrating community pharmacy into the primary care system may not be considered in the contemporary discourse despite the fact that community pharmacy has been operating within communities for years. However, in the case of Indonesia, we argue that changes in the health care system within the past decade particularly with the introduction of the universal health coverage (UHC) in 2014, may have significantly amplified the role of pharmacists. There is good evidence which highlights the contribution of pharmacist as a substantial health care elemen...
