Prescribing Decision Support System for Patient Safety and to Prevent Fraud and Overspending in Indonesian National Health Insurance

Prescription errors can have serious consequences, leading to harm and increased healthcare costs. Therefore, the development of Prescription Decision Support Systems (DSS) is crucial. This is a knowledge-based DSS, consisting of symptoms data dictionary, drug data dictionary, and a symptoms-drug relationship. The DSS helps prevent omission errors, overprescribing, and fraud by generating warning messages if physicians input non-matched symptoms with listed drugs or prescribe non-formulary drugs for National Health Insurance patients.
