Abstract

Background: Drug abuse remains a major public health issue affecting physical, psychological, social, economic, and security aspects of society. The increasing prevalence of illicit drug use, particularly among young adults and productive-age populations, requires comprehensive prevention and control strategies. Drug control should not rely solely on law enforcement but should also integrate health promotion, prevention, rehabilitation, and human-centered approaches. Objective: This review aims to analyze promotive and preventive strategies in combating drug abuse while examining the effectiveness of repressive and humane approaches based on current scientific evidence. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using publications retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda. Articles published between 2020 and 2025 in Indonesian and English discussing health promotion, prevention, rehabilitation, harm reduction, and law enforcement related to drug abuse were included. Results: Health promotion through education, public awareness campaigns, community empowerment, and family resilience improves knowledge and regarding attitudes towards drug abuse. Preventive strategies including early detection, school-based interventions, environmental monitoring, and multisector collaboration effectively reduce risk factors. Repressive approaches remain essential for combating illicit drug trafficking, whereas rehabilitation and harm reduction provide significant benefits for individuals experiencing substance dependence. Conclusion: Effective drug control requires integrated promotive, preventive, repressive, and rehabilitative strategies. Public health and human rights-based approaches offer more sustainable outcomes in reducing drug abuse and improving the quality of life of affected individuals

Abstract

Accurate hospital reporting depends on consistency between source medical-record data and compiled statistical reports. During implementation of the Non-Communicable Diseases and Mental Health report (Penyakit Tidak Menular dan Kesehatan Jiwa; PTMKJ), discrepancies were identified between reported cardiac-case visits and the corresponding medical-record data at Santosa Hospital Bandung Central. This study aimed to analyze the conformity of cardiac patient visit data in PTMKJ reports with medical-record data during the first quarter of 2026 and to identify factors associated with discrepancies based on observations in the Medical Records Unit. A descriptive quantitative design was used. The study applied total sampling to all recorded visits for coronary heart disease and heart failure during the study period. Data were collected through document review by comparing PTMKJ reports with medical-record visit data and were processed using Microsoft Excel to calculate differences and conformity percentages. A total of 5,510 medical-record visits were analyzed. Overall data conformity reached 95.11%, while non-conformity was 4.89%. Monthly conformity was 94.49% in January, 98.92% in February, and 91.60% in March. Observations indicated that discrepancies were associated with delays in diagnosis coding, a high volume of patient visits relative to available coding staff, data-extraction timing, recapitulation processes, and subsequent data updates. Strengthening verification, coordination, and timely completion of diagnosis coding is therefore necessary to improve PTMKJ reporting quality.

Abstract

Drug abuse is a health problem that can have a wide-ranging impact on the lives of adolescents, both physically and psychosocially. Adolescence is a crucial period in development, as biological, cognitive, emotional, and social changes occur that can influence health behaviors into adulthood. A good understanding of the impacts of drug abuse is expected to be a supporting factor in efforts to prevent drug abuse in adolescents. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of adolescents about the impact of drug abuse on physical and psychosocial health. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach . The sample consisted of 100 adolescents selected using a purposive sampling technique . Data collection was conducted using a knowledge questionnaire consisting of 25 questions regarding the definition of drugs, risk factors, impacts on physical health, psychological impacts, and social impacts. Data were analyzed univariately using frequency distribution and percentages. The results showed that the majority of respondents had a good level of knowledge (63 respondents), while 27 respondents (27%) had sufficient knowledge and 10 respondents (10%) had insufficient knowledge. Regarding physical health impacts, 68% of respondents had good knowledge. Regarding psychosocial impacts, 59% of respondents had good knowledge. These results indicate that while most adolescents have good knowledge, some still need more information about the impacts of drugs, particularly the psychosocial aspects. Continuous health education through schools, families, health workers, and the community is necessary as part of efforts to prevent drug abuse among adolescents

Abstract

Advances in health information technology and the mandatory implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) have transformed the work of Health Information Management (HIM) professionals. This study analyzed changes in HIM professional roles and competency strategies at Universitas Padjadjaran Hospital during digital transformation. A descriptive qualitative case-study design was applied using semi-structured interviews, passive participant observation, document review, and literature review. Four key informants were purposively selected: the medical records unit coordinator, a coding officer, a reporting officer, and a senior information technology officer. Observation was conducted for 21 working days in April 2026 for approximately four hours per day. The findings indicate a clear transition from paper-based document management to data-driven functions. Traditional tasks such as filing, assembling, and physical retrieval have decreased, while strategic roles as clinical coders, health data analysts, and privacy officers have become increasingly important. Operational challenges included incomplete electronic documentation, bridging problems between the hospital information system and BPJS services, system downtime, and the need for stricter access control and audit trails. Digitalization therefore changes rather than eliminates the HIM profession, requiring continuous re-skilling in coding accuracy, data analytics, interoperability, and information privacy.

Abstract

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are increasingly required to support efficient, accurate, and integrated hospital services. This study evaluated the implementation of EMRs in inpatient services at Bakti Pajajaran Regional Public Hospital using the Human-Organization-Technology Fit (HOT-FIT) model. A descriptive qualitative case-study design was applied. Data were collected from February to March 2026 through HOT-FIT-based observations and semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected informants who had at least one year of experience using the EMR system: the head of the medical records unit, an inpatient physician, an inpatient administrator, a nurse, a nutritionist, and an information technology officer. The findings indicate that the Human component was generally adequate, as users possessed relevant professional or technical qualifications and were able to operate the EMR according to their duties. The Organization component was supported by hospital policies, basic training, interprofessional coordination, and system access, although full integration had not yet been achieved because several units still used a hybrid workflow. The Technology component was supported by computers, servers, LAN/Wi-Fi, and VPN access; however, unstable or slow network connections remained the dominant operational barrier. Overall, the Fit among human, organizational, and technological components was favorable but constrained by network reliability. Regular user training, routine system evaluation, strengthened technical support, improved bandwidth, and backup connectivity are therefore recommended to sustain EMR implementation and optimize its net benefits for inpatient care

Abstract

The implementation of electronic signatures in electronic medical records (EMRs) is intended to strengthen authentication, document integrity, accountability, and legal certainty in digital health services. This study reviewed the legality and security of electronic signature use in EMRs at Bakti Pajajaran Regional Public Hospital. A normative-empirical legal design with a descriptive qualitative approach was applied. Primary legal materials and relevant secondary literature were examined, while field data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation from 30 purposively selected informants representing medical records personnel, nurses, midwives, nutritionists, radiographers, information technology staff, and the head of the medical records installation. The study found that all 237 healthcare providers had used electronic signatures in the hospital information environment; however, none of the clinical electronic signatures were certified. The only certified electronic signature was used by the hospital director for administrative documents through the SRIKANDI application. Twenty of 32 reviewed medical record forms had been converted to electronic format, whereas 12 forms, particularly consent-related documents, remained manual. Major barriers included limited storage infrastructure, financing constraints, insufficient periodic socialization, and the absence of a dedicated standard operating procedure. These findings indicate that administrative adoption alone does not ensure adequate legal assurance and information security. The hospital should accelerate certified electronic signature implementation, establish specific governance procedures, strengthen security infrastructure, and provide sustainable organizational and financial support.

Abstract

Patient data confidentiality may be compromised when the distribution of triage forms involves unauthorized individuals. A preliminary study at Hospital X found that triage forms and medical record files were still transported by patients' family members or relatives between the Emergency Department (ED) and the registration unit. This study aimed to evaluate the conformity of the triage-form distribution workflow with the hospital's Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and to assess its implications for patient data confidentiality. A descriptive qualitative design was employed from June to July 2026 at the ED and registration/medical records unit. Nine informants who were directly involved in the distribution process were included using total sampling. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and review of the 2022 SOP for BPJS Emergency Patient Registration and were analyzed inductively through data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the SOP formally assigns medical record distribution to authorized staff; however, actual practice still involved patients' family members or relatives. Identified confidentiality risks included escorts who were not immediate family members, physical separation between the ED and registration area, temporary storage of forms in open areas, and the possibility of forms being lost or misplaced. The confidentiality risk was perceived to increase when the triage form became part of a complete medical record containing patient identity, diagnosis, and medical history. The study concludes that triage-form distribution at Hospital X in 2026 did not fully comply with the SOP and did not optimally safeguard patient data confidentiality. Implementation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR), stronger access control, and closer integration of registration and ED workflows are recommended.

Abstract

Morbidity data play an essential role in supporting hospital decision-making, program planning, and service quality evaluation. Nevertheless, morbidity data management may be affected by incomplete diagnosis documentation, coding inaccuracies, and delays in data processing. This study aimed to analyze morbidity data management in relation to the preparation and presentation of the top 10 disease report at the Medical Records Installation of Hermina Arcamanik General Hospital. A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Data were collected on March 25, 2026 through direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and document review. One medical records officer directly responsible for morbidity reporting was purposively selected as the informant. The findings showed that morbidity data retrieval had been computerized through the Hospital Management Information System (SIMRS) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Data were exported to Microsoft Excel, separated by service type, processed, reviewed, and ranked for routine reporting. The principal problem occurred in outpatient services, where diagnoses were sometimes incomplete, uncoded, or recorded only as follow-up visits because of high patient volume and limited physician practice time. In March 2026, the top 10 outpatient and emergency diagnoses comprised 8,522 cases, whereas the top 10 inpatient diagnoses comprised 1,050 cases. Corrective action was mainly undertaken after incomplete data had been identified. The study concludes that computerized morbidity reporting is already established, but source-data quality, interprofessional coordination, and preventive system controls should be strengthened to improve the accuracy and timeliness of morbidity reports.
