Analysis of Integrated Information Systems in Community-based and School-based Public Health Surveillance

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The involvement of the community in supporting health programs requires an integrated information system. Public health registers obtained by the community means some data is collected repeatedly in different formats or leads to data redundancy. AIM: This research aims to analyze and design an integrated information system model of current community-based and school-based public health surveillance based on a system development life cycle approach. METHODS: Data analysis is carried out using content analysis. RESULTS: The results show that entities involved in the system include health cadres in Posyandu (an integrated health post for maternal and child health), Posbindu (an integrated development post of noncommunicable disease), and school health services. The necessary data include data on vital characteristics, maternal and child health, the risk factors of both communicable and noncommunicable diseases, students’ illness complaints, clean and healthy living behavior, mortality, and environmental health. Information obtained includes the health status of an individual, planning on pregnancy and labor, antenatal care visits, stunting data, immunization status, students’ illness complaints, the number of accidents, larva-free rate, and mortality rate. Information from the system is reported to public health centers, the district health office, and district education office. CONCLUSION: The output of the system is useful to complement the recording and reporting of data from health facilities.
