In the era of globalization marked by the sophistication of information technology, efficient system integration is key in improving the quality of health services. In the Blueprint for Digital Health Transformation Strategy 2024, one of the proposed solutions is the transformation of manual recording systems into digital innovations to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and quality of health services in Indonesia.
Students of the Master of Midwifery at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta in collaboration with students of the Technology and Information Study Program have formulated an innovation in the health sector through a series of Health Education and Service Information System Practice activities carried out (activity date) for the practice period May 27 – June 21, 2024 at PKU Muhammadyah Gamping Hospital Yogyakarta. This innovation proposes the integration of midwifery care and e-Partograph into the Smart’s Medical Record (SMR) system of PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital, which aims to improve the quality of midwifery care and strengthen interprofessional collaboration in the hospital.
This proposal stems from the need for a more efficient and effective system in documenting and monitoring maternal and fetal health during labor. Currently, PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital does not have a feature in the SMR that is specifically designed and developed for obstetric care. So far, midwives in the hospital have been using an EMR that focuses more on nursing care standards, making it less suitable for midwifery-specific needs. Seeing this gap, UNISA Yogyakarta students, with the support of lecturers and health practitioners, designed and proposed a childbirth midwifery care module integrated with e-Partograph.
The proposed integration of midwifery care into the electronic medical record (EMR) system at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital includes the development of features specifically designed to meet the needs of midwifery practice and follow midwifery standards. These digital innovations include specific features such as SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan) assessment, labor progress notes, as well as electronic monitoring of labor through the e-Partograph. The development of the e-Partograph enables electronic recording and monitoring of labor, so that midwives can systematically record and monitor the progress of labor. These features are expected to not only facilitate detailed and accurate recording of midwifery care, but also provide more support to midwives in providing quality midwifery services at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital.
This proposal is expected to increase midwives’ work efficiency, speed up the documentation process, and improve data accuracy. In addition, the included e-Partograph feature allows midwives to monitor the progress of labor more systematically and accurately, so as to make more informed and rapid clinical decisions. This not only improves the quality of midwifery care but also supports more effective interprofessional collaboration at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital.
This innovation proposed by UNISA students is a strategic step in supporting more modern and quality health services, and opens opportunities for other hospitals to follow suit in utilizing technology to improve the quality of health services. By integrating midwifery care into the EMR, PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital can utilize technology to provide better, faster, and more efficient services to patients. This initiative also strengthens the autonomy of midwives in providing health services, which ultimately has a positive impact on maternal and infant health.
