Encouraging The Development of Obstetric EMR, UNISA Student Proposes Emergency EMR Innovation
The development of information technology in the health sector continues to progress rapidly. PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, as one of the type B hospitals in Yogyakarta, has implemented an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system since 2017. In order to practice the Education Information System (SIPPKes) and Health Services (SIPPKes) courses, ‘Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta sent 9 students of Master of Midwifery Batch XI to develop obstetric EMR, 5 students developed the implementation of obstetric emergencies in EMR. While the other 4 students developed the implementation of the labor documentation format in the EMR of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital.
The practice field report prepared by second semester students of the Midwifery Study Program, Master’s Program, Faculty of Health Sciences, Aisyiyah University Yogyakarta, who carried out practice on May 27 – June 21, 2024, revealed that the implementation of EMR at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital was not fully optimal. One of the main obstacles is the use of nursing care formats for midwifery medical records, which causes midwives to have to fill in several forms manually. This has an impact on the efficiency and quality of health services.
According to Fitnaningsih Endang Cahyawati SST. Bdn. M.Kes, field supervisor, full integration of midwifery care into the EMR system is needed to make it easier for midwives to fill in. According to Oki Wahyu Nugroho, S.Kom, SIMRS Coordinator of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping, the development of midwifery EMR is still hampered because there is no involvement of midwives in the development of midwifery care features in EMR, this involvement is very important to ensure that the system developed is in accordance with the needs of the field.
Midwives and the IT team at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital also recognize the need for innovation in the EMR system, including the addition of features to handle obstetric emergencies. The development of features such as recording patient symptoms, emergency treatment algorithms, and early warning systems can improve the responsiveness and effectiveness of medical treatment.
The management of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital fully supports this development. This support is evident from their commitment in providing the necessary resources and complete internal regulations. Annual evaluation and continuous training for medical staff are also proposed to ensure the optimization of EMR usage.
The presentation of the EMR development innovation design was attended by field supervisor Fitnaningsih Endang Cahyawati SST. Bdn. M.Kes, 2 executive midwives, and 1 hospital training section. The results of the development of the midwifery EMR innovation design including the implementation of integrated obstetric emergency care in EMR received good appreciation from PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital and hopes that it can be implemented immediately.
With this development proposal, it is expected that the quality of health services, especially in obstetric emergency care, can improve significantly. A more comprehensive and efficient EMR system will support better clinical decision making, improve patient safety, and increase service satisfaction at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital.
