PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI BERBASIS SMS UNTUK PEMANTAUAN STATUS GIZI BALITA
Abstract: SMS (Short Message
Service) is a information system in monitoring the nutritional status of
children under five which includes 3 components; decision making, alert system, and data
presentation. Until now, Health Card
(KMS) is used as the only one of tools
in monitoring the growth of children under five in Indonesia. However, besides of its many
benefits, KMS also has a number
of limitations. Such as, requires
a huge cost to print the paper,
limitations of children growth data acces, because KMS is only held by the
parents, time required for
reporting to the
regency become longer,
required a large
storage, and to
find the data required
a long time.
SMS – based
research (RapidSMS) has
been done to
resolve the problem,
such as data
transmission delays, poor
data quality, information
flows which only
in one direction,
and high operational costs when
using paper (paper based). Regarding data quality, RapidSMS has error rate 2.8%, below the
error rate with
paper based range
14.2%. Similarly, the
issue of costs,
RapidSMS success to reduce
costs significantly, when
compared with surveillance
using paper. We
conclude, the development information system
based on information
technology is necessary
to optimize infant
growth monitoring system.
