A hospital exists mainly to provide therapeutic services to the patients.
Drugs are an integral part of patient care. In every hospital, medicines are crucial to the hospital services.
Appropriate use of medicines in the hospital is a multidisciplinary responsibility that includes doctors, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, support personnel and patients.
The availability of medicines in the hospitals depends not only on good supplies, but also on efficient use through good distribution system, rational prescribing, and dispensing practices.
"When a drug is required, the appropriate drug must be chosen. It must be available at the right time, at the right price. It must be dispensed correctly, must be delivered in a right dose, at the right intervals and for the right length of time".

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Treatment.
In general, the role of the pharmacist can be divided into three parts, as follows :
1. Professional
The role of the profession of a pharmacist in a pharmacy not another is to carry out the
activities of the Pharmaceutical Care or orphanage pharmacy. One of the main objectives of
upbringing of pharmacy is to improve the quality of life of the patient. That means patients
who are sick can become healthy, and healthy patients can maintain their health. The
application of the orphanage pharmacy which is better or GPP (Good Pharmaceutical
Practice) at the pharmacy has been regulated in the minister regulation 1027 of 2004. In PP
no. 51 Article 21, paragraph 2 also been presented, that can serve the administration of
drugs based on the prescription is the pharmacist. Indirectly implied that the pharmacist
should always be present in the pharmacy to perform the orphanage pharmacy.If a
pharmacist wants to carry out the orphanage pharmacy, he must have the Competency,
Commitment, and Care. Pharmacists actually have to have the competence, i.e., he has
science (knowledge) and skills (skill) in doing the orphanage pharmacy. Science for example
for medications for diabetes, cholesterol, heart should be taken regularly, do not stop unless
a consultation with the doctor. Another example for the ointment corticosteroids use should
not be pressed in place of the wound and not too thick smear. Information-such information
should be given to the customer Is An Ear Infection Contagious ? Fact or Myth ?.
2. Manager
The pharmacist should be able to be a good manager, in this case the pharmacist should be
able to arrange the goods, money and patients. But in general a manager it should manage
the resources he has. Not only goods, money and people, but also the time, place, and
others.
One of the keys to successful inventory management in a pharmacy is a service level of
100%, meaning that the pharmacy is able to meet all the demand will be drugs (both
4. prescription and non-prescription), so that the ratio of his rejection of 0%. To be able to
guarantee the service level required planning (planning) that are very ripe, don't until there is
a buildup of stuff (over stock) or out of stock (out of stock).
That's the job of a pharmacist as a manager. The goal is that the inventory turnover or
Inventory Turn Over maximum, the risk of over stock and out of stock is minimized. If it is so
will add to the satisfaction of the customers because the demand for drugs is met. Customer
satisfaction will affect the loyalty of customers and also add new customers. Not only goods,
money must also be managed because money is crucial in business. Should the proceeds of
the sale of one day not combined with the money for the purposes of operating a pharmacy
and the money from the sale of one day must be equal to the amount of stuff that comes out.
So don't get any of the goods which don't make money. Pharmacist in a pharmacy must be a
good leader for the employees of the other. Maintain a sense of family among employees,
provide a good example and to foster the employees were so much better. Pharmacists
should also be professional in this case, it is good to apply the reward and punishment so
that the pharmacy can be advanced with the employees were quality (not just quantity)

3. Retailers
Retail is the final stage of the distribution channel, namely the business of selling goods or
services to consumers for their needs respectively. The key to a successful pharmacist as a
retailer is Identifying, stimulating, and satisfying demands.
a. Identifying
Identifying is to analyze and collect information about the consumer. The information is not
the other is the answer of the following questions: Who is buying ? What do they buy ? Why
do they buy ? How they decide to buy ? When do they buy? Where they buy ? How often do
they buy ? Should the pharmacist have to know the behavior-the buying behavior of the
consumer by answering the questions above. For example, during the hajj season, which is
a lot look for is a multivitamin and stamina enhancer. Buying behavior is also influenced by
many things, one of which is demographic profile. The factors of demographic profile, among
others, age, gender, occupation, education, ethnicity, location and others. When the
demographic profile is known, then we will soon find out the opportunities are promising. For
example, when the pharmacy located in the area of localization, which is much sought after
for sure condoms, lubricant, strong drugs and others Tongue, Navel, Genitals and Nipple
Piercing Infection.
b. Stimulating – Satisfying your demands
After analyzing buying behavior of consumers, then the next should be done stimulating,
which gives a cue or encouragement of social, commercial and others, followed by the
provision of information-information that consumers need about the product to be purchased.
This needs to be done because smart-smart we analyze the buying behavior, it remains the
final decision lies on the consumer.
c. Satisfying your demands
The next task after the consumer want to buy that meet the demand. Give the waiter the
best, honest and full of patience. And the most important is the product sold must be the
right quality, right quantity, right time. This is what is meant satisfying your demands.
5. The current number of pharmacist in Indonesia is thirty thousand people, according to what
has been mentioned by the chairman of the Indonesian Pharmacist association in its official
website. A comparison of that amount against the number of the people of Indonesia is 1 :
8000. This amount of felt still less, of that amount approximately one third of work as the
person in charge of the pharmacy which, according to data from the ministry of health
amounted to 10.737 pharmacies, while data from the website of the organization of the
profession of pharmacists as of April 2008 a number of 10.365 pharmacies, can be said that
the pharmacy is most many hold the profession of pharmacist. Pharmacists also work in
installation of hospital pharmacy, pharmaceutical wholesaler, health centre, Agency of Drug
and Food control, Ministry of health both central and local, as educators ( lecturers) in higher
education, as a teacher at the school of pharmacy, drug industry, traditional medicine
industry, cosmetics industry, research institutions, marketing personnel and in some other
places Can You Get Pregnant From Precum ?.
The importance of the profession of pharmacist for the community are as follows :
1. To help the patient in saving cost of treatment.
The world health organisation WHO states that the costs incurred for the purchase of drugs
in developing countries between 20 – 40% of the total cost of health whereas in developed
countries to between 10 – 20%. Also mentioned that 50 – 90% of patients in developing
countries pay the cost of treatment with the money from the bag itself ( not covered
insurance ). Specifically for Indonesia, the price of the drug is relatively expensive which is
caused by more than 90% of medicinal raw materials must be imported from abroad.
The amount of the drug circulating in Indonesia as has been said by the chairman of the
Indonesian Pharmacist association on one occasion amounted to about 16 thousands of
brands. A very large number. One type of drug, especially a drug that the level of use is high
( promising economically ) can be produced more than one brand. For example, the
antibiotic amoxicillin can be present in a variety of brands, made by different factories and
with a price that is certainly not the same and sometimes the price difference can be quite
far, especially if compared with the products of generic. This drug comes with dozens of
different brands. Another example is the antidiabetic drugs and antihypertensive indeed
much needed, it is also manufactured in a variety of brands Is Lupus Fatal ? Is Lupus
Cancer ? Don't panic! here's the guide.
Many brand-different brands this will just confuse the patient as a consumer of the drug.
Kekurangmengertian against brand this sometimes causes the patient should pay dearly for
drugs that should be bought. For example, amoxicillin brand A is written in the recipe, the
price can be several fold with amoxicillin with other brands especially if compared to generic.
Whereas in terms of efficacy, this drug is just the same because it is already guaranteed by
the Food and Drug Inspection Agency and the Ministry of Health as the authority of the
government in the field of health and medicine. This is where pharmacists can play a role in
helping the patient choose the drug that is efficacious with a cheaper price. Pharmacists
have a deep knowledge about the drug.
2. To ensure that drugs are used correctly
6. a. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin USA in 1996 in
government-owned hospitals find the following things :
• The 16.2% of the sample of patients studied ICU admission/ units of the disease in caused
by problems associated with drugs (Drug-related Problem DRP ). And of this amount can be
broken down again as follows :
o 54.8% of the sample experienced failure of therapy
o 32.9% of the sample experienced a drug reaction that is not desired (Adcverse drug
reaction / ADR )
o 12.3% of the sample experiencing an overdose
• 43.3% of the sample should be prevented against the occurrence of DRP
• 65.8% of DRP occur due to non-compliance of patients in taking medications
b. Research conducted at the University of Toulouse, France published in 2009, showing the
data as follows :
• 8.37% of the patients treated in hospitals are caused by ADR where ADR is caused by the
amount of the drug, self-treatment without a through examination of the experts, the use of
the drug-drug antithrombotic and due to the use of drug antibiotics.
• ADR is reported to be the cause of the high cost of health care, the patient entered the
hospital and lengthening the time of patient care in the hospital How Do You Get Lupus ? Is
Lupus Contagious ?.
c. The year 2002 in the United States :
• ADR being the cause of death no 7 exceeds the number of deaths caused by vehicle
accidents, suicide, or HIV/ AIDS
• The cost spent for the care of the ADR 76.6 billion USD
• ADR cause 17 million visits to units of the emergency hospital
The Data above shows that drugs are not the objects or materials so is safe to be
consumed. The difference between medicine and poison/toksis very thin only depends on
the dose. In the world of medicine and pharmaceuticals, to every drug known term
therapeutic dose and the dose toksis, there is the effect of therapeutic and toxic effects of.
Toksis the same with poison. At doses that exceed the dose of therapy/treatment, each drug
acts as a poison.
This is where, among others, the role of a pharmacist are required. The pharmacist serves to
provide assurance that the drug consumed by the patient does not change into toxins that
are caused due to inaccuracy how to use by the patient. Pharmacists have a role so that the
goal of therapy which is being undertaken by the patient can be achieved with better. The
pharmacist is obliged to provide the information clearly to the patient the drug users or their
families to avoid mistakes in the use of drugs. So the drug provides the therapeutic effect
desired, the known term 4 T 1 E, namely, RIGHT DOSE, RIGHT FREQUENCY, RIGHT
INTERVAL of ADMINISTRATION, RIGHT TIME/duration of USE, as well AS be WARY of
the SIDE EFFECTS Home Remedies For Earache : How to get rid of an earache ?.
Some of the research about the use of these drugs has been published. From these studies
it can be concluded that the rate of non-compliance of patients in using the drug is quite
high. Some of the factors that lead to disobedience are : the use of the drug for long periods
of time such as in the treatment of hypertension, diabetes ; use of medications that
polynomial/vary : how to use that confusing as a different frequency for each drug ;
7. ignorance will be drug and diseases ; the occurrence of side effects of the drug ; and so
forth. To overcome problems such as this, the presence of the pharmacist as a counsellor
and informant of the drug is required.
Indonesia pharmacist has an important role in the world of pharmacy. This role is associated
with a drug along with its use. However with the amount of thirty thousand pharmacists in
Indonesia and some of them are responsible for the pharmacy it turns out that the
performance of pharmacists is still very minimal, it looks at the moment the patient wants to
consult at the pharmacy, the pharmacist is rarely found to be able to provide about the
contribution of drug use and things associated about the drug. This problem looks very
contrast with the number of pharmacists in Indonesia, where the appropriate patient can be
easily met directly with the pharmacist. There are several reasons why pharmacists hard to
find. The first cause is that most pharmacies do not belong to the pharmacist but belongs to
the financiers, which in pharmaceutical terms is called the PSA ( the Owners of the Means of
the Pharmacy ) 11 Essential Oil For Earache : Remedy and treatment for earache.
From the data published by the official website of the organization of pharmacists, Number
of pharmacies owned by the PSA is approximately 50% of the number of pharmacies that
exist ( 5.106 of 10.370 ). Pharmacists can be regarded as the people are given a salary to
be responsible for the pharmacy as required by government regulations. This is the problem.
Compensation takes salary of pharmacists is not sufficient to serve as supporting living
expenses of the family. Be a lot of pharmacists that make the position as person in charge of
the pharmacy as a side job or his moonlighting in addition to his main occupation, for
example as an employee in the ministry of health, Balai POM, lecturers, and so forth. If in
the workplace the main course pharmacists should be working office hours ( from 8 in the
morning until 4/5 in the afternoon ), when they will be able to practice their profession in
pharmacies who became the the responsibility.
Not to mention that these conditions occur in large cities which most of time is wasted to
face jams on the road. So sometimes the pharmacist that makes the position of the person
in charge of the pharmacy as a side job this just came to pharmacist can be 1 or 2 times a
week, 1 or 2 times a month or the frequency of the arrival of the other. Of patients or
community will be hard to consult with the profession of pharmacist. It is recognized by the
pharmacists themselves. Of course, not all pharmacists the same thing as this, some
pharmacies require pharmacist to always be in place so patients can consult with them. One
of the pharmacies among them is the Kimia Farma group What To Do For An Earache In
Children ? .
The second cause is the desire of the people of Indonesia to know his treatment which has
not been so high. So that people feel that they do not need to consult with the pharmacist
profession because it assumes the drug is safe material-safe to use, very different with
people outside the country who expressed a desire to consult directly with a pharmacist
when buying drugs.
There are important things that we can see that the desire of the people of Indonesia to
consult with a pharmacist is still low. This is of course very unfortunate. This also becomes
an important task for pharmacist to raises awareness of the community to pay more attention
to his health by consulting a drug that will be used.
