Pedoman WHO tentang Penulisan Resep yang Baik sebagai Bagian Penggunaan Obat yang Rasional (WHO-Guide to Good Prescribing as Part of Rational Drug Use)

---

Prescription is usually the last step on patient-doctor consultation setting. Prescription writing must fulfill a rational prescription's writing criteria. A rational prescription starts with collecting patients' data through anamnesis, physical and laboratory examinations, and other additional assessments. Afterwards, the doctor will construct a hypothesis or working diagnosis which guides himlher select the therapeutic options including medicines that should be given to the patient. This algorithm, unfortunately, has not been always followed which brings to irrational prescribing. The underlying causes of the irrational prescribing are multifactorial, among others: doctor's factors, patient's factors or even comes from higher levels such as regulation and health service system available at the given district or country. Since 90s WHO has been introducing a Guide to Good Prescribing concept aimed for medical students. This article discusses the background and content of the Good Guide to Prescribing.
