Abstrak

The Orang Dalam Pengawasan (ODP) and Pasien Dalam Pegawasan (PDP) Covid-19 monitoring system in the Health Service task force in Dago area is a system that monitors and records people who are indicated to be affected by the Covid-19 disease. Orang dalam Pengawasan means “people under monitoring” in Bahasa Indonesia while Pasien dalam Pegawasan means “patients under surveillance”. To support the ODP and PDP Covid-19 monitoring system, an application is needed that can assist in the monitoring process in the Health Office task force in the Dago area through the utilization of Android-based technology. This research aims to help the task force not be late in reporting the number of ODP and PDP to the Government of West Java Province. Moreover, it also aims to avoid differences for data between the public health center and the Health Service task force in the Dago area so that the results of this study are in the form of information about the total findings and monitoring of ODP and PDP Covid-19 every day through the Android application. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that the application could help the task force in reporting the number of ODP and PDP to West Java Province. In the ongoing system, when carrying out the monitoring process, the task force always contacts the health centers in Dago via telephone or WhatsApp for the data collection and reporting process to not be well computerized. It causes delays in reporting data to West Java Province. Problems also occurred with the amount of data due to the absence of a data closing system, which resulted in reports on the number of daily ODP and PDP Covid-19 data that were always differences between the public health center and the Health Office. In conclusion, this information system could help the reporting process.
