UNS — Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta Hospital received an award from Indonesia Social Security Administrator for health care (BPJS Kesehatan), on Saturday (19/2/2022). The awarding ceremony was held in UNS Hospital Auditorium.
This award was granted because UNS Hospital was committed to applying digital transformation in providing health care to ensure excellent, timely, and reliable services for the community. This effort is in line with the BPJS Kesehatan program that aims to create innovation to provide ease of access for the members of the National Health Insurance Program – Kartu Indonesia Sehat (JKN-KIS).
Under Prof. Ali Ghufron Mukti’s leadership as the President Director, BPJS Kesehatan created an online queue system at the First Level Healthcare Facility (FKTP) and Advanced Referral Health Facilities (FKRTL). UNS Hospital is also a teaching hospital as a pilot project for the online JKN-KIS queue system that aims to reduce waiting time for JKN-KIS members and improve healthcare service for the patient.
The award for UNS Hospital was granted directly by Prof. Ali Ghufron Mukti and the Director of Information Technology BPJS Kesehatan, Ir. Edwin Aristiawan to the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, and the Director of UNS Hospital, Prof. Hartono. Prof. Jamal stated that he was grateful for the award and mentioned that the online queue system had been tested and implemented in UNS Hospital. The system is expected to ease the JKN-KIS members because before implementing the system, they needed long queue time that created a bottleneck in the hospital.
“Therefore, UNS Hospital was proud to be selected to test this online queue system,” Prof. Jamal stated.
A similar statement was provided by the Director of UNS Hospital, Prof. Hartono, who stated that this implementation is UNS Hospital’s contribution in providing benefits and best services for the community. Prof. Hartono added that the online queue system helped UNS Hospital that see an increase in the number of patients in the last few years.
“Because to this day, the patient queue becomes an issue that is hard to solve from year to year. Even amid the pandemic, the patient number increased, especially for hospitalization. The community also needs time to access BPJS services,” he shared. Humas UNS
