Abstract
Background: The implementation of clinical pharmacy services is critical in Indonesia's community health centres (CHCs). However, there is a paucity of studies evaluating the implementation of such services. This study aimed to evaluate clinical pharmacy services by CHCs in West Java, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a self-completed questionnaire, including several indicators of the standard pharmacy services, to evaluate the implementation of clinical pharmacy services by CHCs in West Java, Indonesia. Results: In total, 39 CHCs participated in this study. The home visits, drug therapy and adverse monitoring, counselling services, and drug use evaluation were not well performed as determined. In contrast, drug information services, rational use of medicine, and prescription have been well performed. There was no app or IoT (internet of things) system to support the clinical pharmacy services in Indonesia’s CHCs. Conclusions: The performance of the clinical pharmacy services of accredited CHCs should be improved to support Community Health Centers in Indonesia.
