Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)\nrecommends six points for the governance of specialist doctors in\nIndonesia, as stated in the Appendix to the 2025 Annual Report of the\nKPK\u2019s Monitoring Directorate in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
First, the KPK recommends strict enforcement of practice licence\n(SIP) regulations and the integration of a national SIP information\nsystem for direct verification of doctors\u2019 practices, as well as\nstrengthening the hospital information system to dynamically monitor\ndoctors\u2019 practice schedules and ensure targeted payment of medical\nservices.<\/p>\n
The second recommendation is to instruct the managers of the Satu\nSehat Human Resources for Health (SDMK) system to add automatic\nvalidation features to ensure the uniqueness of registration\ncertificates (STR), limit the number of active SIPs, and connect the\nsystem to the database of the Investment and Integrated One-Stop Service\nAgency (DPMPTSP) and the Indonesian Medical Council (KKI).<\/p>\n
Third, strengthening the governance of the specialist doctor\neducation programme (PPDS) by having the Ministry of Health, together\nwith the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, adjust\nPPDS lecturer provisions to be more responsive to regional needs. This\ncould include, for example, schemes for recognition of prior learning\n(RPL) as teaching qualifications, phased fulfilment of lecturer\nrequirements, and formulating regulations for inter-institutional\nconsultant borrowing.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, strengthening the PPDS programme can be achieved by\nestablishing clear boundaries between specialisation fields and\nsub-specialisations through national inventory, guidelines for dividing\nscientific domains between colleges, and a needs-based approach to\npublic services in opening new programmes.<\/p>\n
Strengthening the PPDS programme can also be done by enhancing\ncollaboration between medical faculties, educational hospitals, and\nlocal governments, including the establishment of affiliated network\nhospitals and satellites to ensure sufficient quantity and variety of\ncases for the education programme.<\/p>\n
The fourth recommendation is for the Ministry of Health to encourage\nthe fulfilment of preconditions for placing specialist doctors, such as\nhealth facilities and infrastructure, income incentives, and an adequate\nsocial ecosystem, by involving local governments in providing basic\nfacilities, local incentives, and support for doctors\u2019 families.<\/p>\n
Fifth, the need to establish national credential standards and\nmandate that the recruitment of specialist doctors be conducted openly\nand based on competence to prevent alumni bias and ensure equal\nopportunities.<\/p>\n
The final recommendation is for the Ministry of Health to encourage\nadjustments to PPDS financing to ensure a more balanced contribution\nrelative to the educational services provided by educational hospitals,\nthrough increased cooperation between universities, educational\nhospitals, and local governments. It also involves conducting periodic\nevaluations of the performance and educational services of educational\nhospitals to ensure that costs incurred by universities are commensurate\nwith the benefits received.<\/p>\n
The KPK recommends these six points after identifying several issues,\nsuch as unreliable governance of SIP and the Satu Sehat SDMK system,\nmarked by the replacement of specialist doctors\u2019 practice schedules\nwithout SIP, medical service payments not directly to practising\ndoctors, duplicate entries, unlisted STRs, SIPs exceeding limits, and\nthe absence of automatic validation.<\/p>\n
The KPK also found challenges in opening PPDS programmes, including\ndifficulties in fulfilling sub-specialist lecturers, high costs, and\nunclear regulations, as well as overlaps between specialisation and\nsub-specialisation fields, and insufficient case variety in educational\nhospitals.<\/p>\n
In addition, the KPK found poor distribution of specialist doctors\ndue to unfulfilled preconditions such as limited health facilities and\ninfrastructure, income incentives, and social ecosystems in the regions,\nas well as distribution barriers from senior colleagues that could lead\nto discrimination based on alumni networks.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpk-recommends-six-points-for-specialist-doctor-governance-1776433857", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
