Medication safety in Indonesia: Expanding pharmacists’ role through Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Practice (IPP)

Abstract

This study undertaken in Indonesia, examined how the pharmacist's role could be expanded into medication safety. It explored the feasibility of implementing interprofessional education as a means of fostering interprofessional practice. While also looking at pharmacy students' readiness to engage in interprofessional learning and graduates' perceptions of their preparedness to deliver patient care, a clinical pharmacy service pilot was also conducted to document need. Facilitators and barriers to education and practice change were also explored.
