DIGITALIZATION OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT THROUGH ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD IN COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY

Abstract

The problems that have been present in occupational health management at the health complementary therapy center was the use of medical records. The therapists wrote down the details of the patients only on the piece of paper without any standard. When the regulation (Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan Nomor 15 tahun 2018) was released, the breakthrough started. Supported by a paperless system, medical information of the patients is now recorded on the electronic files.This study aimed to analyze the differences in the completeness data before and after the use of an electronic medical record at the complementary therapy centers. This research was conducted with a quantitative approach and cross sectional research design using the Mann Whitney test. The statistical test results of the p-value 0,000 <0,005 indicate that there are differences in the completeness between paper-based and paperless systems. In administrative data, there was an increase in completeness of 5.3% in terms of patients occupational information . In clinical data, there was an increase in completeness of 6.8% in terms of health problems. As a conclusion, it can be expected that the future integrated occupational health management in the complementary therapy can be made through electronic medical record.
