Abstract

Report from the WHO that one of the highest causes of medication errors is Look Alike – Sound Alike (LASA) drugs, leading to errors in receiving information about the drugs, which of course will affect patient safety. Efforts to reduce medication errors have been widely implemented, such as conducting medication training, managing medications, and storing and labeling medications. However, all of that leads to human error, so the utilization of technology is needed to address this issue. The technology expected to help reduce medication errors is the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is designed for automation processes and systems that can learn independently, allowing the causes of medication errors such as LASA to be learned by the system and predicted automatically. Deep learning is a part of AI that works by providing solutions accurately and automatically. The Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) algorithm is one of the deep learning methods that has been proven accurate in predictions based on previous research studies. In this study, LASA predictions were made using RNN with the aim of serving as an aid to reduce medication errors, thereby ensuring patient safety. The accuracy achieved is 99% for training and 81% for testing.
