Abstract

Related to the participating of midwives and nurses in the self-medicate by community outside of pharmacist supervision, since the public is more able to expect improper medication. Instead of efforts to eliminate the involvement of both stakeholders, employing the information system that integrates interprofessional practice with pharmacists will be a suitable deal. After that we carried out a literature review by searching several national publications related to the development of online self-medication applications, flowcharts were compiled using web-based online diagramming software; draw.io. Microsoft Office Power Point version 2019 was used to create the user interface. The prototype outcomes were displayed in a scientific discussion board for pharmacy students, and members granted reviews and feedback. Here in, we show our “Swamedig” prototype, the integrating application for interprofessional practice of pharmacists, nurses, and midwives. Our prototype is an application integrating interprofessional practice of pharmacists, nurses, and midwives. The program connects them in collaboration of expertise to support the community taking self-medication. The core of our menu, pharmacists supervising drug selection and administration based on assessments performed by nurses and midwives. Thus, our project is developed to realize the rational drug use. In addition, our prototype was ready for the next stage on the engineering to complete the software development process.
