Implementation of Hospital Management information Systems for Health Services

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) based on Regent Regulation No. 59 of 2022 and identify supporting and inhibiting factors. The research location was at the Tulungagung Dr. Iskak Regional General Hospital (RSUD). The data analysis technique in this study used qualitative descriptive analysis techniques. This study found that the implementation of a Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) in RSUD dr. Iskak Tulungagung succeeded in improving operational efficiency and quality of health services. This success aligns with G. Edward III's theory of public policy implementation, which emphasizes the importance of communication, disposition, resources, and bureaucratic structure. Effective communication through training and discussion ensures policy understanding, while a positive management disposition supports system acceptance. Adequate technological infrastructure and a clear bureaucratic structure allow implementation to be carried out gradually and systematically. However, there are still challenges, such as differences in the technological literacy of health workers and the need to increase network capacity in high-operating units. This study is expected to provide recommendations for improving the implementation of SIMRS at RSUD dr. Iskak Tulungagung through technology training, providing incentives, improving infrastructure, and periodic monitoring and evaluation to improve the efficiency of health services.
