The data management system is comprised of data entry, cleaning, back-up, and the generation of regular reports. Built-in quality control mechanisms were developed to ensure data quality and confidentiality. Prescriptions were analysed using the mentioned WHO indicators. Information was collected about the prescriber also in terms of their hierarchical designation, e.g., general resident doctors, post-graduate residents, and senior doctors (Medical officer/Demonstrator/Clinical Tutor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor).
A house staff is a junior resident who has completed undergraduate medical degree (MBBS) and internship but yet to join for a post graduate course. Faculty in clinical disciplines include Residential Medical Officer (RMO) cum Clinical Tutor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor. All have qualified with post-graduate medical degrees (MD).
All the above proportions were compared across age groups (pediatric and adult) and different categories of prescribers. The prescriptions were assessed using a “Consensus Committee approach”.
