Analysis of Public Health Center Information System Implementation in Compulsory Health Efforts at Public Health Center in Jayapura Regency, Papua Province

Abstract

Background: The Public Health Center Information System is an arrangement that provides information to assist the decision-making process, thus the Public Health Center is currently required to adjust it no later than 2 (two) years since it was established on August 22, 2019 in accordance with Permenkes 31 of 2019. Objectives: The aim of this research is to analyze the Implementation of the Public Health Center Information System in Compulsory Health Efforts in Jayapura Regency in 2022. Methods: This type of research is descriptive qualitative by conducting in-depth interviews in December-January 2023. The research informants consisted of 16 people including the head of the Public Health Center (6 people), Person in Charge of SIMPUS (1 person), Head of Administration (3 people), Insurer Responsible for Nutrition (1 person), Person in charge of Health promotion (3 person), Person in charge of MCH (1 person), Person in charge of TB (1 person) at 6 representative Public Health Centers in Jayapura Regency. Result: The results of the study showed that input elements, such as human resources/public health center information system staff as a whole, were lacking and did not have an educational background in IT or Epidemiology, or Statistics. There are no operational support funds for the implementation of the Public Health Center information system. Facilities and infrastructure are inadequate. The method used in implementing SIMPUS is divided into two, namely some are still manual, and some use an application. Process elements such as manual and application-based recording are recorded in a manual format and then inputted into a computer and entered into an application.

Processing is manual and application-based specifically for compulsory manual health efforts such as health promotion and environmental health and application-based, namely TB, MCH and Nutrition. Public Health Center reporting is manual and application, but sometimes it experiences delays, namely the manual one. It is known that the output/results of reporting from Public Health Center are still late but can be accounted for by means of validation and a survey of health service staff to Public Health Center in Jayapura Regency.
