9A13 Sustainable Patient Information Network for Primary Care Health Center in Thousand Islands Country

Abstract

Sustainable Patient Information Network for primary care health center is needed for Indonesia. There are many of remote, isolated and urban area, which causes transportation problems and telecommunication problems, for example : necessity of wireless infrastructure. We develop low speed communication system to access the Internet using Internet radio packet and used PostgreSQL database server on Linux machines. This system connects every health center to each other and avoid central data storage which common use in this day. It is a good opportunity for developing country such as Indonesia to use open free software. And radio packet communication uses radio media is no connection charge like telephone line for data communication. The study opens perspective for a further data storage, distribution, synchronizing, maintenance and security.
