empowerment (Daryo Soemitro, 2016). The
implementation of this program was expected to
make the recording and reporting activities at the
Puskesmas become an interrelated unit. In its
application, the use of ICT was a necessity because
HIS increased along with efforts to improve the
quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of management
and implementation of health development.
At present, the frequency of ICT activities is very
high, including in Ciamis District. According to
Rifaskes 2019 data, the frequency of HIS
implementation at Puskesmas during 2018 in 9
activity items, namely Puskesmas management (25),
HISDA (13), ASPAK (37), disease case data (33),
Pcare (37), HFIS (37), BPJS non-capitation claims
(19), Puskesmas reports (37) and medical records
(33) was 132,002 times (Table 7.9) or 452 times per
working day. The confirmation from 4 Puskesmas
showed that the application of ICT could enhance
performance, increase accuracy, and reduce the time
required (time and energy efficiency). However, the
large amount of applications and the high frequency
of ICT activities increased the burden on employees,
including health workers. This was because there was
no officer specifically handling HIS and the
implementation process was complex.
One of the consequences of this situation was that
some CHCs in the Ciamis District could not
implement all SIMPUS items. Rifaskes 2019 data
showed that among 37 Puskesmas, 22 (54.46%)
implemented SIMPUS, and only 7 had electronic
information. The report also revealed that only 5 of
them used online recording systems. Several HIS
applications have been implemented by all facilities,
such as ASPAK, SIHA, SI PTM, E-PPGBM, and KS.
Meanwhile, HISDA had the lowest implementation,
namely 13 Puskesmas, accounting for 35.13% of the
total population. In the availability of information,
some of the facilities used electronic approaches, with
ASPAK and E-PPGBM being the most used
applications by 18 CHCs (48.65%). Based on the
results, HISDA had the lowest usage by only 5
facilities (13.51%). The most common use of the
online recording system was observed in KS by 17
samples (45.95%), and the least was HISDA with
only 3 samples (8.11%). ASPAK was not carried out
using online recording by any of the facilities.
HIS must be managed at the central and regional
levels (provincial and district/city), as well as in
health care facilities by their respective authorities.
This arrangement aimed to (1) ensure the availability,
quality, and access to health information, (2)
empower the participation of the community,
including professional organizations in the
implementation of HIS, and (3) achieve the
implementation of the HIS within the scope of the
national health system, specifically through
strengthening cooperation, coordination, integration,
and synchronization (Kemsekneg 2014).
The management of HIS in districts/cities was
carried out by structural or functional work units that
organized government affairs in the health sector. The
activities carried out included managing health data
and information at the district/city scale, in the form
of (1) requesting health data and information from
parties related to HIS management, (2) collecting
and/or combining routine and non-routine datasets
from sources, (3) processing health data, (4). storing,
maintaining, and providing health data and
information reserves, (5) providing feedback to
sources, (6) conducting data analysis as needed, (7)
disseminating health information using electronic
and/or non-electronic media, (8). sending health data
and information needed in the management of
provincial and national HIS, and (9) implementing
guidance and facilitating the development of HIS in
first-level facilities. Meanwhile, the management of
the program in health facilities was carried out by the
HIS manager in each health facility (Kemsekneg
2014). This regulation implied that the management
of HIS at the district level and health facilities must
be carried out by a special unit or team or officer who
performed these activities. The aim was to facilitate
the management of data and information, as well as
their flow to various levels. The approach was also
used to ensure that all components of the HIS were
implemented properly. Therefore, data and
information managed in the HIS application at the
health facility level were only issued and received by
the manager (one door), while the source of data was
from program implementers at the health facility.
Feedback from higher-level ICT managers
(district/city, provincial and central) was received by
other managers and then channelled to the relevant
people. The management of the HIS at the district/city
level must also be carried out by a special unit to
ensure that all data and information flow only entered
and were issued by the unit. Data from health
facilities were forwarded to the relevant field or
section, while data inputted for reporting and
feedback were obtained from the relevant field or
section. This type of ICT management helped to
ensure that there was only one data (one data) at the
health facility or district level because it was only
managed by one unit. Furthermore, this situation
facilitated data management, which could be used as
a basis for making decisions or policies as a follow-
up to information received.
