Abstract

The process of issuing birth certificates at Hospital X is still carried out manually, potentially causing delays, recording errors, and difficulties in managing and reporting birth data. This study aims to design a web-based birth certificate information system integrated with Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of the birth certificate issuance process. The research method used is a qualitative method with the Waterfall software development approach, consisting of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature review. The system was developed as a web-based application using the PHP programming language and designed to support data connectivity between maternity ward staff and the medical records department. The results show that the proposed system can accelerate birth data processing, minimize recording errors, facilitate report preparation, and automatically generate reports according to the hospital's needs. The system can minimize problems associated with manual administrative processes and improve information connectivity. It is recommended that the system be implemented at Hospital X and further developed by adding features and integrating it with other hospital information systems to improve the quality of birth administration services and health data management.
