Abstract
Dwi Rahmi Zaki , Hari Kusnanto
Background:The objective of mother and child health program is to improve heath status of mother and child optimally. This objective could be supprted by the data and information availability which supported planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the provided health services. Sometimes, this mother and child health program has not been supported with a good information system for data recording, processing, and analysis. It also happened at Tanjung Balai Municipality Health Office.
Objective: Identifying the existed information system and developing a computer-based information system to ease process of data recording, processing, and analysis of mother and children health program at Tanjung Balai Municipality Health Office.
Methods: This was a qualitative study with action research approach. Information and data were gathered by observation, document review, and in-depth interview. The subject were 5 persons, consisted of the health office head, head division of public health maintenance, head section of family health, and 2 staff of mother and child health program.
Results: Prototype of mother and child health information system were developed based on the user needs of mother and child health reporting format, and facilities to make graphics and data analysis. Since the new system implementation, the reports availability could be more timely, accurate, and relevant.
Conclusion: Development of this information system at Tanjung Balai health Office delivered improvement to the efficiency of operational program. Mother and Child Health report could be presented more timely and accurate. In addition, the new system’s outputs were more qualified that the previous outputs with manual system.

ABSTRACT
Jelita Alamsyah, Hari Kusnanto, Adreasta Meliala
Background: Pariaman Municipality’s Health Office is one of important institutions which support the quality of health care services. Until now, it has some problems about manual and conventional staff and health officers records, staff promotion program, and unsophisticated and incomplete staff data. Actually, government has already provided the SIMKA software for free, but it has not been implemented yet. The causes are the system is not open source so that it is difficult to update data, and there is no trained and skilled attendants to operate the system. Therefore, implementation of the open source-based SIMKA, perhaps, is helpful in monitoring human resources’ potentials.
Objective: The study was aimed to develop a system of staff management information at Pariaman Municipality’s Health Office in supporting the availability of managerial task implementation and improving the quality of decision making. It included needs assessment, prototype designing, prototype design implementation, and prototype design evaluation.
Methods: The study was a qualitative research with an action research method to explore the need of information deeply that would be analyzed, presented, and approved as design of staff’s information system.
Results: The result of the staff information system was the integrated and comprehensive data to produce a complete and comprehensive system. After the prototype implementation, there was positive responds from the management staff and related parties; they could access the data easier and faster only by inserting a code. The prototype affected the data processing which could be done efficiently, gathered unlimited data, quicker data browsing, and properly data saving.
Conclussion: Prototype by modern technology could improve the monitoring of staff activities, and the effectiveness of used application because the prototype was applicable. It is suggested that the staff sustain the system in order it can be used in a long time.

Sudarianto, Haryanto, Anis Fuad
Background: Health information system is one of four health development major strategies. Health Office of South Celebes Province has tried to implement an electronic information system in local government clinics (Puskesmas) which is named Puskesmas’ Transaction Information System (SITRAPUS) in Bantaeng District since 2006. However, its performance and effectiveness have not been evaluated yet.
Objectives: The research aimed to evaluate the implementation of SITRAPUS in Bantaeng District from aspects of development process, the output, the barriers and entries during the implementation.
Methods: This was a qualitative study. The data was gathered by in-depth interview and observation in local government clinics, Bantaeng District Health Office, and Health Office of South Celebes Province.
Results: From the development process, the result showed that operator was not too involved in the process of SITRAPUS designing, the use of SITRAPUS was not well socialized so that the users were not familiar with the system, there was no a division which managed the information system, less supervisory, and there was no technical support for the SITRAPUS maintenance. The SITRAPUS output were disease reports but they were not accurate and irrelevant with the organization needs. Nevertheless, the users felt that the system could make their works easier, especially in data searching. The SITRAPUS output were used by the local government clinics in calculating the retribution, meanwhile data access to the district was not up to date and timely.
Conclusions: The SITRAPUS implementation in Bantaeng District was not optimal, because this implementation did not accordance to the system development life cycle and the output was only report.

Development of A Prototype for the Food Home Industry’s Web-Based Management Information System to Increase the Supervision of the Food Safety at Yogyakarta
ABSTRACT
Triyanti Setyorini, Hari Kusnanto, Anis Fuad
Background: The food home industry (FHI) is one of the stakeholders that have the important role in developing national food safety system in Indonesia. However, the FHI condition in Indonesia, especially in working area of Regional Agency of Food And Drug Control (RAFDC) in Yogyakarta, is still poor. Several problems are exist, i.e. data profile of FHIs are not complete and poor documentation. This fact indicates that FHI information system has not been run well.
Objective: This study was aimed to develop a prototype of web-based management information system based on data of inspection and laboratory analysis results of FHI products, so that it would increase the supervision of the food safety in the Yogyakarta working area of RAFDC.
Methods : This study was a descriptive–qualitative research with action research approach. The research was begun with preliminary study, need analysis, system design, try out and simulation of system. Then, the prototype was evaluated for its eases and benefits.
Results: The prototype of web-based management information system of FHI has been made based on the data of the inspection and laboratory analysis results. The information system accommodated FHI products, production and distribution equipments, sampling and analysis results, report of analysis results, and also articles of food safety. The evaluation results for its eases and benefits showed the system gave the ease in browsing information and benefits in operational activities of food safety supervision.
Conclusion: The prototype of FHI web-based management information system has been made and given the ease and benefits for food safety supervision.
