Abstract

To achieve high-quality healthcare, patient safety must be regularly monitored and improved. Moreover, accreditation of healthcare facilities has been increasingly requested in recent years. In Indonesia, mobile applications can be a tool for community healthcare centers (Puskesmas) to assess their accreditation score, especially with respect to patient safety. The goal of this paper is to provide a prototype of a mobile application for self-monitoring elements of patient safety that uses an input-process-output-outcome scheme. We reviewed the Indonesian health minister’s regulations for accreditation of Puskesmas and developed a checklist and scoring system for components of patient safety. Analysis and design of the system included the following aspects: 1) a checklist of patient safety assessment items; 2) a scoring system; and 3) recommended actions for Puskesmas that receive a low score. Future research would include testing of this application in real-world situations (in actual Puskesmas).
