Abstract
The Health Information System is an integrated system that systematically
manages public data and information (Government, community and private) at
all levels of government to support health development in a health facility.
This description can be known by conducting a Health Information System
(HIS) evaluation activity. This study aims to determine the description of the
health information system at the Teladan Health Center in Medan City. The
research was conducted at the Medan City Teladan Public Health Center,
North Sumatra, in June 2019. The subject in this study was the Head of the
Administrative Subdivision of the Teladan Public Health Center, which was
taken based on purposive sampling. The data were gathered through direct
interviews and observations. We are using the triangulation method to
determine the data's validity. With a percentage of 73%, health information
system resources are classified as "adequate."This is because the Utilization
and Dissemination component is included in the adequate category (63%); this
is because the public health centres have implemented health information
systems based on the latest Law and are carried out in full and regularly. The
overall Data Source component is included in the adequate category (64%).
Evaluation of Indicator components is included in the very adequate category
(78%). The performance evaluation of the health information system at the
Medan City Model Health Center was carried out using the Health Metrics
Network (HMN) version 4.0 instrument approach by assessing various
components of the health information system. According to the evaluation
results conducted at the Teladan Public Health Center, only one of the six
HIS components scored "adequate" on the HMN instrument, with the highest
score on the Indicator Component and the lowest score on the Information
Product Component.
