“…AI technology is capable of accelerating the shift from traditional hospital settings to customer-focused care sites like ambulatory surgical centers, retail clinics, and home care (Barello et al, 2016;Manyika et al, 2013). Further, home care and wearable devices may lower the overall health costs by 20 to 32 % (Saha & Ray, 2019;Sultan, 2015). AI-enabled technologies have opened up a new vista of home infusion and observation care models, which are expected to grow by more than 18 % over the next five years (OECD, 2019).…”

“…New health technologies such as wearable devices, growth of telemedicine, virtual reality, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the landscape of the Indian healthcare sector (Markets, 2020). A paradigm shift in the healthcare delivery system is observed through the application of AI to radiodiagnosis, drug discovery, patient risk identification, and electronic health monitoring (Doumbouya et al, 2014;Rahman et al, 2016;Saha & Ray, 2019). Substantial growth in AI technologies has supported the healthcare service providers in basic guidance to the patients, problem-solving, and supports for various medical issues (Daugherty et al, 2019).…”

2021

The Healthcare sector has been at the forefront of the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Owing to the nature of the services and the vulnerability of a large section of end-users, the topic of responsible AI has become the subject of widespread study and discussion. We conduct a mixed-method study to identify the constituents of responsible AI in the healthcare sector and investigate its role in value formation and market performance. The study context is India, where AI technologies are in the developing phase. The results from 12 in-depth interviews enrich the more nuanced understanding of how different facets of responsible AI guide healthcare firms in evidence-based medicine and improved patient centered care. PLS-SEM analysis of 290 survey responses validates the theoretical framework and establishes responsible AI as a third-order factor. The 174 dyadic data findings also confirm the mediation mechanism of the patient’s cognitive engagement with responsible AI-solutions and perceived value, which leads to market performance.

“…Health service facilities can plan for drug procurement according to the needs of the community around the health facility. The suitability of the management of pharmaceutical preparation with the needs and characteristics of health service facilities (Saha & Ray, 2019) will be achieved properly if managed by a pharmacist. The availability of drugs at the health centre is very important because the primary healthcare centre (puskesmas) is the leading health service facility.…”

et al. 2021

Background: Pharmacists are the only people authorised to manage the medicines inventory. However, in the case of pharmacist shortage, other personnel may take over this function. This is particularly the case in most primary healthcare centers (puskesmas) in Indonesia. Aim: To compare the outcome of medicine inventory management between pharmacists and non-pharmacists in primary healthcare centres (PHCs). Methods: A survey of 146 puskesmas in East Java was conducted involving 73 pharmacists and 73 non-pharmacist staff. This study was conducted from July to January 2020. Each respondent completed a questionnaire focusing on the inventory aspects of medicine management. Results: Purchasing accuracy is higher for pharmacists (90%) than for non-pharmacists (68%). Pharmacists manage the inventory more efficiently with only 2% of the drugs expired and wasted while non-pharmacist staff wasted 16% of the drugs and 18% of the drugs expired. Conclusion: The role of pharmacists in medicine inventories is vital as they carry out more efficient and accurate medicine management.

Introduction: Community pharmacist can play an active role in improving care for recently discharged patient through provision of information and education and more importantly prevent readmission to hospital. Aim: This study aims to investigate the impact of pharmacist providing drug information and education for discharged patient with chronic disease. Methods: A survey was conducted between July to October 2019 involving 153 patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Patients were purposively recruited from 11 pharmacies in East Java. A questionnaire was used to record patient’s opinion regarding provision of drug information and education by pharmacist. The results were descriptively analysed. Results: Overall, patients mentioned that pharmacists mainly provided information about how to use the drugs (83%). The education provided by the pharmacist has improved patients’ understanding about their disease state (70%) and influenced the compliance when using the medicine (68%). Patients acknowledged pharmacist’s effort to ensure the positive outcome of the therapy. However, no data has been recorded whether such service may prevent patients from being readmitted to hospital. Conclusion: Pharmacist is at unique position in the transitions of care. Pharmacist can provide information and education that may contribute to improve patient’s understanding and compliance.
