Makassar, Day Four (210906)

September 22nd, 2006 by fiorelino

Today was better than yesterday, although it began with a frustated morning.
I wake up late today. Probably because I I was so tired and the weather was so hot…
Anyway I went to RS around 10.00 am !! - It was my fault not to see the chief of medical record installation, chief of Lontara 2. Hmmmm…. Never mind … I already recorded the process if patient come to the hospital.

There are two ways that patient come to the hospital. 

First way is through emergency room. in the emergency room after entering the gate (gerbang) there are three choices:
060921_041. Resusitasi –> red
2. Observation - Surgery and Non Surgery/ Children –> yellow
3. Action room (Operating Room) –> green

Second way is through normal reception. In this reception there are two kind of patient. First is for060921_03_1
those who has normal ASKES and the second one is for those who are poor and need ASKESKIN. I was impressed with this program, because with this program those people who doesn’t have enough money can get the treatment also. Well as my motivation of my research:

Jeder Mensch in jedem Land verdient es gesund zu sein

Each person in each country deserves to be healthy

During observation in the reception, I talked with two co-ass and I used that chance to give them060921_05 information about the future hospital, multi agent system and RFID Technology. They were very interrested when they saw the film and would like to have the copy of that film. I told them that I will give them a CD tomorrow.

during observation also, I found out that there is access point in to internet in this area. It called with kulkel AP. wow! But they dont have protection using the internet.

After hanging around in medical record, I went to ICU. First I asked the staffs, who just lost her friend recently, so they didn’t have time to answer my questions, but they told me that I could enter the room and meet nurses in nurses room.

060921_06_1
In nurse’s room I met three nurses .. perfect. So I told them about this technology too and gave them the questionnaire. The respond of that film was not entusiasm as co-ass, which I can understand. But one nurse, who was unfortunately not filled the questionnaire, was very interrested in the presentation. She asked some good questions and gave some good commentars. Since I came during break time, at 13.00 they have to go back to the duty again, so I told them that I’ll pick the questionnaire tomorrow.

From nurse’s room I saw one physician in physician’s room, I just entered and asking that person wether he physician and wether he has time to answering my question. He said yes to both questions. We sat together and I explained him about the technology I brought from Germany and also my intention in this hospital. Before I was starting with the film and presentation, he called his colleague, a surgery physician. After hearing that I’m from Germany, he asked me to explain the presentation in english language, that made me easier :-)

They were, as my expectation, very interrested of the presentation, and would like to know more,060921_07_1
so I showed them some other movies that explain what can RFID does for our daily life. First presentation was only three persons, but the audience added two more physicians. It was great.

The chief of ICU came also at the end, after giving surgery, I asked him whether he has time to hear and filling the questionnaire, and he said ok. I think it was great. Today I already gave this information to other groups then EDP. Physician, Co-ass, Nurses, and of course EDP.

In this area, there is also access point called with ICU … well I think if we talked about IT-Infrastructure, they have it already. Since the physicians seemed have time, I asked  them about this matter.

They told me that every sub intallation and installation has computer, so actually it could be all connected … well they are all connected. The problem they faced, is actually the human resources, who sometime misuse them to surf something not supposed to surf. I asked them, they can turn off the internet. One of physician told me.. it is not only because of internet, but also that there are some persons who got disadvantages with transparancy. Because computer avoid those persons to manipulate prescriptions of medicine.

Other things that they are complained about, is the water from PAM and also the electricity (diesel with solar).

It was a long discussions with the physicians, and I think it was great. I had some inputs and so they had. One of physician bought me also a lunch.

After having lunch, I continued my tour again to IRD or we can call it Emergency room to pick up questionnaire I gave them previous day. Unfornately I didn’t have luck, because no body there. well… I hope tomorrow I can catch up the physician who received me the other day.

Not only having no luck in IRD, I’ve got no luck in lontara 2 too, because the chief of that ward was not there, and chief of nurse asked me to ask the chief first before come to her … ouch !!

Hmm… Actually it is not very bad, because I have the whole two intallation already visited. EDP and ICU. It would be great if I have 6 installations or sub. dept., but if it is not possible, then it’s fine with me. I got all information I need in the matter of IT-Infrastructure. According to my observation, actually it would be not difficult to implement the multi agent system here, because they are already connected and they even has access point in almost every installation. One thing should be prepared is the human resources.

The investation for this implementation is actually not much. But it required many things beside hardware implementation. The tag could be managed by RFID printer, so just like barcode, it could also printed. So if this technology would be implemented in this hospital, first of all they need the inventory list of all resources, which contains:
- chief of department
- physicians
- co-ass
- chief of nurse/ ward
- nurses
- staff (this should also divided into some installations)

Well… I’m really satisfied today, because I found something that I didn’t expect before. And again some of member of this hospital already being introduced into the new technology that actually a small thing but could help us to serve better.

After I found out that I couldn’t catch up the other installations, I got home around 15.00. In the PT (Public Transportation) I met two member of the hospital: a nurse and a co-ass, they helpmed me a lot to describe the way to go MTC or to mall.

I gave them also my questionnaire and pen. I told them that I will pick up tomorrow in their place.

I was smiling inside when they talked to me about PT… it’s kind a cute .. well sometime they said angkot, but most of them called public transportation as a PT … they can perfect english :-)

After I got home, I gave my heavy bag into the office, then went to MTC. The driver was very nice and he was surprised when I asked It was difficult to find something I looked for, that’s why I asked him where MTC was. He asked me where i came from and what i’m doing here in Makassar. I told him as I told all people I met, then he started to speak english … :-) It was funny - he can speak english very well!!

When I got to MTC he said .. hope to see you again before leaving Makassar :-)
In MTC I couldn’t find what I’m looking for, so since I was very tired, I took a taxi to go to mall.

There I found what I was looking for. There I found also nice sellers, they explained me how to get home. Well… seems the Makassar’s people are very helpful :-)

I went not directly home after Mall and to copy centre instead. In the direction to copy centre, I saw some tourist attraction, I thought probably if I have time on staurday, I’ll take picture there.

After copying what I need to copy I went home around 22.00. It was a long long day, but actually again I’m satisfied with the result.

This journal made me easier latter when I’m writing report :-)
