| 6. How was the strategy implemented and what resources were mobilized?
|
|
eHealth is implemented gradually. Since 2010, we start to build the system called SIMPUS (Sistem Informasi Manajemen Puskesmas) or Information Management System for Health Data in 5 of 53 Primary Health Care in Surabaya. At 2011, developed into 15 of 58 PHC in Surabaya. And at 2012 all of PHC in Surabaya have used and developed eHealth (Beta Version).
In 2013, we do the bridging between eHealth for PHC and for Hospital Information System at 2 Regional Hospitals in Surabaya (Dr. Moh. Soewandhie Hospital and Bhakti Dharma Husada Hospital). We also create the dashboard menu for the health policy maker.
In 2014, we completed the bridging so the online referral system was started. At the same time, we also integrated the population data, synchronized with eKTP, so that single identity for medical history recording and the used of eKTP as a one pass card can be applied to access any health care facility in Surabaya PHC and Hospitals.
The integration with population data was creating The Online Registration or Admission System in eHealth that can be accessed anywhere with internet connection by simply clicking ehealth.surabaya.go.id/pendaftaran.
The interactive website is facilitated with 3 (three) different languages, Bahasa Indonesia, English, and Madurese, thus making it easier for the resident to understand. Besides, there are eKios at the Kelurahan (Villages) or Kecamatan (Districts) for the resident who has no knowledge about internet.
In 2015, eHealth have another bridging system with Indonesia’s National Health Insurance system called Primary Care (P-Care) which is developed by BPJS. Due to this integration, the person in charge only entry the health data once through eHealth then directly recorded in P-Care.
By the year 2016, we develop android based eHealth application to facilitate peoples demand which mostly are using android based phones.

| 8. What were the most successful outputs and why was the initiative effective?
|
|
a. Waiting time of the patient who has been using eHealth is much faster. It used to be 25 minutes, now they only need to wait 5 minutes for admission. Referral patient also no need to wait inefficiently and can directly go to the specialist outpatient clinic by only give some required documents at the certain counter for referral patient online provided by hospitals.
b. Increasing access and utility of eHealth every month show people’s need and demands about eHealth are enhancing also.
c. The use of single identity number as patient medical record recall number enable the health providers to understand patient’s previous medical treatments, medications, and diagnosis, then help them decide the appropriate medical treatment next. The use of identity number can also be done through finger print and RFID reading on eKTP card.
d. Decision making of program and intervention in health sector always based on data and health information obtained from monitoring dashboard which can be accessed by policy makers at eHealth. Monitoring of high risk disease, incidence rate of deathly disease, such as Dengue or Diarrhea, can be done through eHealth, so they can determine a rapid and effective prevention policy

|
| 9. What were the main obstacles encountered and how were they overcome?
|
|
- Giving the understanding to the people/society that has been used to with the manual system. It takes time to socialize so that people can accept the change.
- Internet Connection Problem. The internet disruption in Surabaya is unpredictable. While the Communication and Information Department of Surabaya have tried to minimize it, they also create an operating procedure if this problem occurred.
- Power failures. At the mean time, yes sometimes we are still facing an electricity problem. While it is intolerant for the server to get power failures. Thus we provide generator set (genset) which always ready if the problem exist.
