Medication error becomes one of the main concerns in ensuring patient safety. In 2020, X Hospital reported medication error incidents. Although categorized near miss, the incidents should have been prevented. One of the methods to prevent medication errors is by applying the seven rights of medication administration. This study aimed to identify the inhibiting factors in the implementation of the seven rights of medication administration in X Hospital and obtain alternative solutions to those obstacles. This study used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from observations and a survey. Observations and a survey through questionnaires to 20 nurses at X Hospital were made to see the implementation of the procedure. At the end of the data collection, interviews were conducted to find out the obstacles in the inpatient installation in applying the seven rights of medication administration. The results show that the main root causes of medication administration errors were the standard operating procedure (SOP) that has not been standardized and nurses' non-compliance behavior on the seven rights procedure. To resolve medication administration errors, the hospital manager should revise the SOP, conduct internal workshops, and perform scheduled supervision to the nurses.

BACKGROUND: Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) have been widely used for various purposes for mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic, such as self-assessment, contact tracing, disseminating information, minimizing exposure, and reducing face-to-face health consultation. The objective of this study is to systematically review COVID-19 related mHealth apps and highlight gaps to inform the development of future mHealth initiatives in Indonesia. METHODS: A systematic search strategy using a PRISMA flowchart was used to identify mHealth apps available in Google Play and Apple Play stores. We searched mHealth apps using certain specific terms related to COVID-19 outbreaks. The inclusion criteria were apps-based smartphone users related to COVID-19 using local language, free of cost, available in the Google Play and Apple Play Stores, and supported by the Indonesian government. We excluded games, apps on infectious diseases unrelated to COVID-19 specifically, and apps with non-Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language). The selected mHealth apps were assessed based on two measures: (1) the WHO guidelines on digital health intervention and (2) the four dimensions of the mHealth technology fit framework. In addition, user feedback from experienced and non-experienced users was conducted to evaluate four dimensions of the apps. RESULTS: A total of 339 mHealth apps were generated from the initial search, remaining seven selected apps that met inclusion criteria. The results highlighted that mHealth apps reviewed had still not been widely used by the general public. The applications were purposed to disseminate information, conduct a self-risk assessment, provide an online community forum, and telemedicine or teleconsultation regarding COVID-19. Data services, including data storage, aggregation, and data exchange, are available in most apps. The rarest function found was contact tracing and assisting health management and health workers, such as the availability of testing facilities, reporting test results, and prescribing ...
