DESIGN OF DENTAL AND ORAL CARE INFORMATION SYSTEM APPLICATION

Abstrak

Dental and oral health services are treatment services that are planned over a certain period of time on an ongoing basis in the promotive, preventive, and curative fields to improve the optimal level of dental and oral health in individuals, groups, and communities by dental and oral therapists (TGM). The results of the initial survey of the Health center information system showed that there was no electronic record/recording of dental hygiene services. Therefore, it is necessary to design an electronic dental hygiene record that is integrated with the information system. This research aimed to obtain a Dental and Oral Care Information System at the Health Center. The design of the information system in this study uses the prototyping system design approach, which is a modern engineering-based design approach, (an interactive process that involves a close working relationship between designers and users). The working relationship between designers and users is carried out through the Focus Group Discussion method, as well as in-depth interviews to get the information/opinions/suggestions/inputs needed in designing the Dental and Oral Care Information System application that will be used by dental hygienists in the city of Bandung. This research involves the IT team as the main researcher. It is hoped that the design of the Dental and Oral Information System will make it easier for TGM and administrators at the Health Center to carry out their duties and information can be directly connected to the Health Office to the Ministry of Health.
