SOCIALIZATION OF MEDICAL RECORD DESTRUCTION PROCEDURE AT PUBLIC HEALTH CENTER WORKING AREA OF KULON PROGO HEALTH DEPARTMENT

Abstract

Medical record is a document that is used as a media record in serving patients at the health center. The
implementation of recording using paper media turned out to have several weaknesses including the need
for storage space. Storage space in each public health center has limitations due to the area of the room,
the number of rooms, and the availability of storage shelves. The number of medical records will continue
to increase at any time, so it is necessary to carry out activities to destroy medical records according to
applicable policies. The results of a preliminary study with the Head of the DPC PORMIKI Kulon Progo and
the Head of 6 public health center Installation, the obstacles faced by the public health center in the Kulon
Progo Health Office work area are 1) There is no special room for storing inactive medical records due to
limited space, 2) It cannot be destroyed because there are several extermination procedures that involve
external parties, namely archivists, 3) Lack of medical record and health information graduates in each
health center, so they do not understand the procedure and management of medical record disposal. This
activity was attended by 120 participants which was held online and offline while adhering to health
protocols during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The method of implementing this activity is by conducting
outreach to HIM at the Kulon Progo Health Center. This activity includes the presentation of material by
resource persons as PMIK experts and resource persons from the Archives and discussions with
participants. The resulting outputs are 1) procedures and procedures for the destruction of medical records
2) optimization and ease of knowledge of PMIK officers in the destruction process which can involve the
authorities.
