July 29, 2008 · Filed Under NEWS · Comments Off 

Thursday, Juli 24, 2008, Graduate Program of Gadjah Mada University held a graduation ceremony for July period. Among the 973 scholars who attended the ceremony, there were 3 scholars from SIMKES (Health Management Information System). They were Maman, MPH (from the Subang Health Office), Abdul Haris, MPH (from the Mataram Health Polytechnic), and Ni Nyoman Kristina, MPH (from the Bali Health Office). Nevertheless, Abdullah, MPH (from the East Aceh Health Office) could not attend the ceremony.

Interestingly, Ni Nyoman Kritina reached an achievement in which her research result about spatial analysis of Tuberculosis at Denpasar won the fifth best scientific posters (from the approximately 80 participants from Southeast countries) in the Third Annual Southeast Asian Influenza Clinical Research Network Conference at Bali on May 21 – 23, 2008. Hopefully, in the next time, the SIMKES students and alumni will have better achievements year by year.

Starts from this period, the SIMKES scholars receive the title of MPH (Master of Public Health) in their graduation ceremony (the previous title was M.Kes or Magister Kesehatan, ind term). It showed that SIMKES has been recognized globally and ready for international program. For the future, SIMKES will always make some innovations in learning activities so that students will receive the best education here.

Congratulation !!!!

Inhibiting Factors in Implementing the Local Area Network (LAN)-Based Health Profile Management Information System at Subang District Health Office in 2006

July 10, 2008 · Filed Under RESEARCH · Comment 

Maman, Eko Nugroho, Anis Fuad

ABSTRACT

Background: Management Information System of Health Profile based on Local Area Network (LAN) at Subang District Health office is an information system based on LAN which provides health information in form of health profile. The implementation of health profile management information system at Subang District Health Office from 2003 to 2006 had not delivered significant support because it did not work well.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the inhibiting factors in implementing LAN-based health profile management information system at District Health Office of Subang.

Method: This was a case study on the implementation of LAN-based health profile management information system at District Health Office of Subang. The data were gathered through observation, focus group discussion and in-depth interview.

Results: The result showed that LAN-based health profile management information system of Subang District Health Office did not work. From the technical aspect, the inhibiting factor was network connection problem, not because of the hardware abilities. The inhibiting factor from software aspect was incomplete installation for several computers. The other inhibiting factor came from database aspect in which the database could not be accessed. Last, the inhibiting factors from non-technical aspects were: no current team of technical staff, low quality and motivation of the human resources as the users, no operational procedure, no organizational structure, poor project management, the developer was fail to synchronize the health profile management information system and the previous system, and changing of building’s physical structure and health profile tables.

Conclusion: LAN-based health profile management information system of Subang District Health Office did not work well due to technical inhibiting factors (hardware, software, and database) and non-technical inhibiting factors.

Model Design for the Development of Information System for Management Program at West Pasaman District Health Office

June 16, 2008 · Filed Under RESEARCH · Comment 

ABSTRACT

Erman, Eko Nugroho, Lutfan Lazuardi

Background: West Pasaman District Health Office is an organization that responsible for managing the health data. A major problem that has been identified regarding the health data are the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the data. It also has been identified that there are 57 reporting forms that create many duplication and inefficiency. To address this issue, the development of a new model based on the need from the users has been proposed.

Objectives: This study was aimed to identify input and output indicators from the users and develop a new model design for information system at West Pasaman District Health Office

Methods: This study applied a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected trough in depth interview, group discussion and observation. The subjects were chief of all programs and sub programs at the district health office. The problems of an existing management information system has been identified and a model design for health management information system development was made. The model design was described by using data flow diagram (DFD), and entity relationship diagram (ERD).

Results: The accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the existing 57 report forms has been analyzed. The duplication of these data has been removed and the result were shown by using tables, graphics and maps. These data are used as a district report to the province. This study also showed that 20 reporting forms from the primary health centers can be integrated to other reporting forms. As a result, the model design was described by using DFD and ERD. This model later on can be used fro the development of computer-based information system at West Pasaman District Health Office.

Conclusion: A model of the information system for the management of health programs at the West Pasaman district has been developed aiming to minimized data duplication and increase accuracy, completeness and timeliness.
