Deputy Health Minister Urges Strengthening of Medical Personnel Competency Standards in the Digital Era
Published
Deputy Minister of Health Dante urged the strengthening of competency standards for medical personnel in Indonesia amid the development of the digital era. According to him, the competence of medical personnel is very important because it is directly related to patient safety. Therefore, the abilities of medical personnel must be assessed on a medical basis and must not be ignored.
In his statement, the Deputy Minister emphasized that digital technology is now increasingly used in the health sector, ranging from electronic medical records to online consultation services. The use of such technology provides many benefits, but it also requires medical personnel to continuously update their knowledge and skills. Therefore, competency standards need to be adjusted to the needs of the times.
In addition, strengthening competency standards is expected to improve the quality of health services across all regions of Indonesia. With clear standards, the public can also feel more confident in the quality of the services they receive. The government, according to the Deputy Minister, will continue to work with various parties so that this policy can be implemented well.
Thus, the Deputy Minister of Health's push shows that the competence of medical personnel is a main concern in facing changes in the health sector. The government hopes that strengthening these standards can safeguard patient safety while increasing public trust in the national health system.
