Esa Unggul University Introduces Digital Vaccination Data System for West Jakarta Midwives

Universitas Esa Unggul is promoting the digitalization of vaccination data management among midwives in West Jakarta through the implementation of the Extended e-iANC system. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of vaccine record-keeping at independent midwife practices (TPMB).

The Extended e-iANC system is designed to assist midwives in various aspects of vaccine management. It allows for the electronic recording of vaccine refrigerator temperatures, real-time monitoring of vaccine usage and stock levels, and automatic generation of temperature graphs. This digital approach is expected to streamline processes that were previously manual and time-consuming.

The program, a community service project by Esa Unggul University in collaboration with the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI) West Jakarta Branch, provides training, technical guidance, and ongoing support to midwives in using the Extended e-iANC system. The initiative is funded by the Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.

With this system, midwives can electronically record the temperature of the vaccine storage refrigerator, monitor vaccine usage and stock in real-time, and automatically generate temperature graphs.

Dr. Hosizah, the head of the PKM team, explained that the Extended e-iANC is an enhancement of the existing e-iANC system, specifically tailored to support maternal and child health services, including vaccination data. She highlighted that the system's ability to monitor stock and generate automatic temperature logs significantly improves data management. Midwives participating in the program have reported that the digital system makes vaccine data management more practical and organized, leading to more effective service delivery.

Beyond improving record-keeping, the adoption of Extended e-iANC is intended to boost midwives' competency in information technology. The program also supports better documentation of vaccination data within immunization services at TPMBs in West Jakarta, contributing to more robust public health data.

With Extended e-iANC, recording becomes more practical and neat. We can also monitor vaccine usage and stock more easily, so services to the community can be provided more effectively.
