This study explores the effectiveness of the Indicator-based Monitoring-Training-Planning (MTP) approach in improving prescribing practices in general teaching hospitals, private hospitals, and public hospitals. The approach involves self-initiative, self-conduct, self-assessment, and self-decision making, and aims to incorporate interventions into the existing management system. The study discusses the results of the MTP cycle in various health facilities and highlights the benefits and lessons learned from implementing this approach.

MTP Approach to Reduce Inappropriate Use of Antibiotics in Hospitals: Results of the Field Test Suryawati S, Setiyawati E, Saleh-Danu S, Rustamaji A, Santoso B Center for Clinical Pharmacology and Medicine Policy Studies Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta
Background • Inappropriate prescribing practices in health facilities • Intervention to improve prescribing is uneasy to conduct, especially in private health facilities • Needs of self-initiative, self-conduct, self-assessment, self-decision making • Interventions needs to be incorporated in the existing management system
Indicator-based monitoring strategy • Self-monitoring approach to improve drug use practices (Sunartono & Darminto, 1996) • MTP (Monitoring - Training -Planning) approach to improve efficiency in drug management (MSH, 1998) MTP to improve drug use practices?
Objectives To measure the effectiveness and usefulness of indicator-based MTP to improve prescribing practices: • general teaching hospitals • private hospitals • public hospitals
M Description of the recent situation 80% P 20% Setting the target of improvement Reflection of previous experience T Problem solving & scientific/reality testing What is MTP? • Monitoring - Training - Planning • Adult learning process

Result 1: MTP at General Teaching Hospitals Problem: Pre- and post surgery ABs in elective hernia surgery Indicator: % patients receiving antibiotics This is where a large graphic or chart can go. Revision of STG Sardjito Teaching Hospital Karyadi Teaching Hospital
Result 2: MTP at Public Hospitals Problem: - Overuse of AB in acute diarrhea (Sleman) - Pre- and post-surgery ABs in Caesarian surgery (Yogya)Indicator: - % patients receiving antibiotics Discussion on STG and diagnosis Sleman District Hospital Yogya District Hospital
Result 3: MTP at Private Hospitals Problem: - Overuse of antibiotics in acute respiratory tract infections - Overuse of antibiotics in acute diarrhea Indicator: - % patients receiving antibiotics Impact of data collection? Clinicians refused the data PKU Hospital Panti Rapih Hospital
Hospitals’ comments on MTP approach • Flexible approach, not time-consuming, not costly • A comprehensive approach, a combination of adult learning and managerial strategies • Encourage DTC to initiate activities • Encourage internal experts to contribute • Involved stakeholders in hospital • Good approach for sensitive issues, the “negative impacts” of promoting rational drug use can be discussed internally
Lessons learnt • Factors of success: • Self-initiated and self-planned: idea for improvements was developed and decided within the group • Self-executed and self evaluated: empowerment of internal actors • Comprehensive approach: educational & managerial • MTP can be conducted at low cost, using the existing mechanism and routine meetings in hospitals • MTP is promising for use in groups with high resistance
