ABSTRACT

Background:

As immunization records increase, problems with fragmented immunization records arise, especially since immunization records in the majority of developing countries, including Indonesia, are still based on paper. The implementation of the immunization information system (IIS) can be a solution to overcome these problems.

Objective:

This study aims to design integrated IIS architectures and prototype applications in Indonesia using the design science research methodology. This study involved respondents from the public and health workers.

Methods:

The resulting prototype is in the form of a high-fidelity prototype that follows the eight golden rules.

Results:

The design developed is divided into two designs, namely the IIS design for the public as immunization recipients and the IIS design for health workers. Functionality developed includes immunization history, immunization schedule, immunization recommendations, immunization verification, immunization certificates, reminder and recall, immunization coverage, immunization monitoring, immunization news, and reports of Adverse Event Following Immunization. Evaluation of the prototype was carried out through interviews and the distribution of questionnaires designed according to the System Usability Scale (SUS) and Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ). The results of the evaluation of the SUS value obtained were 72.5 or "Good (Acceptable)", while the system usefulness, information quality, interface quality, and overall values from PSSUQ were 2.65, 2.94, 2.48, and 2.71, which indicates that the design has been made properly.

Conclusions:

This research is expected to provide a guide for health facilities, health regulators, and health application developers to implement an integrated IIS in Indonesia.
