Analysis of Planning and Procurement of Diagnostic Medical Equipment at Jayapura Regional Hospital: Challenges and Optimization Strategies

This research aims to analyze the planning and procurement processes of diagnostic medical equipment at Jayapura Regional Hospital in Papua Province. Using a qualitative approach with case study design, this research involved in-depth interviews with 11 informants consisting of key, primary, and supporting stakeholders. The results indicate that the planning and procurement processes are influenced by three determinant factors: government regulations, budget availability, and hospital management strategies. Jayapura Regional Hospital implements a bottom-up approach in planning that involves active participation from various staff levels. The primary constraints identified include budget limitations, funding allocation instability, and equipment specification mismatches. Optimization of the Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) has become a strategic solution to improve the efficiency of planning and procurement processes, while a comprehensive medical equipment maintenance program is essential to ensure continuity and quality of diagnostic services. This research recommends implementing data-based planning, strengthening the bottom-up approach, optimizing inter-departmental coordination, and developing a structured equipment maintenance program to improve the effectiveness of diagnostic medical equipment procurement at Jayapura Regional Hospital.
