public (Sari, Lubis, & Tambunan, 2024). Healthcare facilities need to continuously
improve the quality of their services to compete using technological advances. One of the
technological developments used in this case is Electronic Medical Records (RME). RME
is an information technology that is used to collect, process, store, and access patient
medical data stored in hospitals through a database system (Aryanto & Sulthon, 2023).
With the advancement of digital transformation, EMR has become an important
step towards operational efficiency and better care. Through Permenkes No.24 of 2022,
all health facilities in Indonesia are expected to have implemented an EMR system by the
end of 2023. However, challenges related to BPJS claims often arise after EMR
implementation. An Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is a form of medical record that
previously existed in paper format but is now converted into electronic form. This process
involves transferring records or forms that were previously recorded manually on paper
into electronic form (Darianti, Dewi, & Herfiyanti, 2021).
The Social Security Organizing Agency (BPJS) is the institution responsible for
managing social security programs in Indonesia. Established to provide financial
protection to all Indonesians, BPJS provides various insurance programs, including BPJS
Kesehatan. The BPJS Kesehatan program provides access to affordable health services
for participants, with costs partially or fully covered by the government. BPJS Kesehatan
participants pay a monthly fee according to the chosen class of service, and in exchange,
they get access to a range of health facilities and medical services that cover prevention,
treatment, and rehabilitation. BPJS Kesehatan plays an important role in improving the
welfare of the community by providing financial protection against health risks, thus
ensuring that quality health services can be enjoyed by all levels of society in Indonesia.
In its implementation, BPJS claims using EMR sometimes encounter obstacles that
cause delays in submitting claims. There are several evaluation results related to the
implementation of BPJS claims conducted by academics.
The results of the Evaluation of the Implementation of Electronic Medical Record
(EMR) in Outpatient Queen Latifa Yogyakarta Hospital conducted by (Salim, Hani, &
Wulandari, 2022) showed that service user satisfaction was 97.5% good, usability was
95.1% good, user comfort was 95.1% good, information quality was 87.7% good,
performance expectations were 87.7% good, and officer attitudes were 95.1% good. The
conclusion is that the implementation of electronic medical records in the outpatient
department of Queen Latifa Hospital Yogyakarta is in a good category.
Another study by (Zulfikar, Nyorong, & Nuraini, 2023) on evaluating the
implementation of outpatient SIMRS on the BPJS claim reporting system at Aek Kanopan
Hospital, North Labuhan Batu Regency concluded that the variables of Reporting,
Coding, Verification and Submission affected the BPJS claim reporting system, Coding
had the most effect on the BPJS claim reporting system at Aek Kanopan Hospital, North
Labuhan Batu Regency. Hospital Management Information System is an integrated
information system prepared to handle the entire hospital management process, starting
from system services and actions for patients, medical records, pharmacies,
