Mortality Reporting Modeling in Healthcare Facilities in Indonesia

Achmad Jaelani Rusdi — 2024-11-21

Healthcare facilities in Indonesia, such as hospitals and public health centers, play a crucial role in recording and reporting mortality data necessary for health policy development and quality assessment. Although various reporting methods are available, ranging from manual to electronic systems, the primary focus has often been on morbidity rather than mortality. External reporting processes typically involve basic coding for morbidity and mortality, and the application of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) for cause-of-death determination in electronic medical records is still underdeveloped. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a system modeling framework to design a comprehensive mortality reporting model that incorporates data mining techniques. By analyzing secondary data from integrated mortality reporting systems in Indonesian healthcare facilities, the study proposes a model that enhances data processing and presentation, offering a structured approach for utilizing mortality data for policy development and future forecasting. The results demonstrate that this model significantly improves data management processes and provides a valuable framework for advancing health policy. Future research should explore the implementation of this model and assess its impact on health policy outcomes in Indonesia.

Syifa Khurotun Azizah — 2024-11-21

The large number of infection cases in Indonesia has caused the number of BPJS claims related to these cases to continue to increase. The claim process carried out by the hospital must go through various stages in order to be claimed, including the coding process. The medical recorder's role as a coder is responsible for the correctness and accuracy of the code for a diagnosis that has been determined by medical personnel (doctors). Inaccuracies in diagnosis codes will impact the effectiveness of health service data and information management as well as pending claims. Pending claims that occur due to inaccuracies can impact hospital cost profit which will result in the hospital experiencing losses. Based on a preliminary study conducted in the Dahlia Ward, Majenang Regional Hospital, 3 medical records with incorrect codes were found (3.54%) out of 58 medical records. This study aims to calculate the inaccuracy of diagnosis codes for cases of infection for inpatients in the Dahlia Ward, Majenang Regional Hospital and identify the factors that cause inaccurate diagnosis codes for cases of infection for inpatients in the Dahlia Ward, Majenang Hospital.The research method used is a qualitative method with a narrative descriptive design. Data collection techniques were carried out using two methods, namely observation and interviews. Interviews were conducted to obtain reasons for inaccurate diagnosis codes, while observations were used to verify interview results. There were 3 resource persons in this study, namely the head of medical records and 2 inpatient coders. The research results showed that inaccuracies occurred due to incomplete diagnosis writing by the DPJP, such as doctors tending to write abbreviations, and coders tending to use rote memorization in determining diagnosis codes.

Hospital management information systems (HMIS) are becoming increasingly important in operational, clinical, and administrative management. Although many hospitals have adopted HMIS, not all systems have successfully achieved their goals. Some common problems include data integration difficulties, user resistance, and lack of management support. Accurate and complete data is key to the success of HMIS. However, hospitals still face challenges in managing data quality. HMIS can provide valuable data to support strategic and operational decision-making. However, existing data has not been optimally utilized. The study aims to analyze how system quality affects HMIS Implementation. This study used an analytic observational method conducted at Dr. Gondo Suwarno Hospital. The sample consisted of 65 HMIS users. Data analysis in this study used SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis techniques. The application used is Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS). The results showed that the quality of the system on the implementation of HMIS through System Use and Organizational Structure provides a negative value. The path coefficient values obtained are -0.005 and -0.048 and the P-value is 0.722 and 0.256. The implication of this result is that system quality should be able to increase system usage, in the context of this study, the quality of the existing system is not enough to encourage users to be more active in using HMIS. This may be due to other factors such as lack of adequate training or technical support for users. system quality did not contribute significantly to the organizational structure that supports the implementation of HMIS. Although the existing system has certain qualities, the existing organizational structure may not be supportive enough to facilitate effective implementation.

Implementation of the Support Vector Machine Method for Early Detection of Stunting Based on Anthropometric Features

Sri Widodo — 2024-11-22

Stunting describes chronic undernutrition during the growth and development period from the beginning of life. This situation is represented by a z-score for height for age (TB/A) less than -2 standard deviation (SD). The current method used to detect stunting in toddlers is to use KMS. The way to do this is to weigh the under-fives every month, the weighing results are recorded in the KMS, and between the points of weight from last month's weighing results and the results of this month's weighing are connected with a line. The series of child growth lines forms a child growth chart. This procedure is of course less effective. Based on these problems, the research conducted is the Implementation of the Support Vector Machine Method for Early Detection of Stunting Based on Anthropometric Features. The SVM method consists of a training process as system learning and testing to obtain classification results. The parameter tests carried out are lambda, complexity, and maximum iteration tests. The data used in this study were 90 data which were divided into 2 classes, namely stunting toddlers and normal toddlers. The SVM algorithm is a linear classification method, so it uses the kernel to deal with nonlinear data. The final results of this research produce the highest average accuracy of 86% λ = 10, C = 1, itermax = 200 and also use polynomial kernels. Comparison of the results of the classification of child stunting with the help of midwives shows that the system produces good accuracy

Lina Khasanah — 2024-11-22

The implementation of digital technology in the global health sector has received strong support, with the adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) becoming a primary focus in modernizing health systems to improve service quality. However, in Indonesia, 48.9% or 4,807 community health centers (Puskesmas) have not yet adopted EMR technology. Therefore, pre-implementation analysis is crucial to identify barriers and opportunities for success. The TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework serves as an analytical model for technology adoption at the organizational level, capable of explaining the factors influencing the decision to adopt technological innovations.This study aims to develop a TOE instrument in Indonesian, adapted from previous research, and adjusted to the research context. The instrument is structured in the form of a questionnaire, tested for validity and reliability. The validity test results indicate that all questionnaire items are valid (r calculated > r table), while the reliability test shows a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.916, indicating that the instrument is reliable. This questionnaire can be used to analyze the factors influencing technology adoption in the implementation of EMR in health facilities and can serve as a basis for future research development

Implementation of The Waterfall Model in Designing a Prescription Abuse Prevention System with Patient Identification in Sleman Regency Pharmacies

Netti Kautsar Dinasti — 2024-11-22

Psychotropic drugs are used to treat psychiatric disorders, but they carry a risk of dependence. Prescription abuse includes using these medications without a prescription and attempting to obtain them illegally. Problems also arise from the improper use of patient cards and doctor's prescriptions. Currently, patient identification is managed separately by each pharmacy, allowing multiple drug purchases at different locations. Based on the preliminary study conducted, there is a need for an integrated recording system between pharmacies to prevent drug misuse, especially psychotropic substances. This requirement aligns with the competencies that must be possessed by medical recorders according to the Decree of the Minister of Health Number 312 of 2020. A medical recorder must be capable of designing health data standards that include data elements, data sets, databases, and the structure and content of health data, ensuring that the data can be used to support healthcare services. This research aims to conduct a needs analysis, design, and assessment for creating a psychotropic patient identification system. The methodology employed in this research follows a waterfall model approach in developing information systems. The stages of the waterfall model include needs analysis, design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. The System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire was applied in the testing and evaluation process to assess the level of system usability. The research findings indicate the necessity of an integrated patient identification system among pharmacies to prevent prescription misuse. It is hoped that this system design will serve as a planning model for the next phase. The system usability scale results show that the designed system is effective and acceptable.

Implementing Artificial Intelligence in the United Arab Emirates Healthcare Sector

Shaikha FS Alhashmi — 2024-11-22

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has recently focused on implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects in the government healthcare sector to help manage chronic diseases and early detection. However, successful AI implementation depends on adoption and acceptance by decision-makers, physicians, nurses, and patients. This paper develops and tests a modified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore critical success factors (CSFs) for the adoption of AI in the healthcare sector. The most widely used CSF variables for TAM are Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Attitudes toward Use (ATU) and Behavioral Intention to Use (BIU). However, a review of 23 qualitative and quantitative studies of TAM literature from 2015 to 2018 suggested that five key external factors should be included in CSF studies using TAM. An extended model was developed (ETAM) and tested using a qualitative study comprising 53 employees working in the Dubai IT and healthcare sectors. The study showed that managerial, organizational, operational and IT infrastructure factors have a positive effect on PU and PEU and, hence, should be included as CSFs in determining the implementation of AI in the healthcare sector.

Why Should Developing Nations Implement ICD-11 for Morbidity Coding?

Islam Ibrahim — 2024-11-22

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD), maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO), is the global standard for morbidity and mortality coding. The 2022 release of ICD-11 brought improvements such as enhanced clinical detail, user-friendly technology, and multilingual support, offering a significant upgrade from ICD-10. Developing countries often face challenges with ICD-10, including limited morbidity data capture and the high costs of adopting other country-specific modifications. ICD-11 addresses these issues with features like postcoordination, extension codes, and electronic coding tools, which enhance coding accuracy, reduce training costs, and improve interoperability. Pilot studies in Kuwait, China, and Malaysia have demonstrated ICD-11’s successful implementation, showing improved coding accuracy, better clinical documentation, and high user satisfaction. Key enablers of success include tailored training, multidisciplinary collaboration, and IT infrastructure readiness, though challenges remain with DRG integration and infrastructure gaps. ICD-11’s support for both morbidity and mortality coding, its freely available mapping tools, and its multilingual capabilities improve the international comparability of health data. These findings highlight ICD-11’s potential to transform health information systems in developing countries, enhancing data quality and supporting evidence-based policymaking. Strategic investments in technology, effective change management, and stakeholder engagement are essential for successful implementation.
