Abstract

Hospitals in Indonesia have undergone digital transformation through the implementation of Electronic Medical Records. This study seeks to ensure that the legal regulations governing the integration of Electronic Medical Records with SatuSehat in healthcare services comply with Indonesian law. This study is classified as a descriptive normative legal study, using secondary data. A literature review was conducted to apply the data collection methodology, then evaluated through a qualitative study. The study findings indicate that the legal regulations governing the implementation of Electronic Medical Records in healthcare services in Indonesia are outlined in Law No. 17/2023 concerning Health, Minister of Health Regulation No. 24/2022 concerning Medical Records, and their implementing regulations. This regulation requires healthcare facilities and medical personnel to maintain electronic based Medical Records, regulate the organizers of Electronic Medical Records systems, regulate the arrangement and distribution of Medical Records data, provide a summary of Medical Records to patients, and define the characteristics of Electronic Medical Records. The principles of electronic system interoperability, Protection of Patient Personal Data, guarantee of Medical Records confidentiality, and the obligation to implement Electronic Medical Records integrated with SatuSehat as a form of legal protection for patient data. If a violation occurs in the implementation of Electronic Medical Records integrated with SatuSehat, the hospital will be subject to civil, administrative, and criminal liability. This liability is based on legal obligations related to the implementation of Electronic Medical Records, recognition of electronic documents as valid evidence, and the principles of protecting patient data confidentiality and security.
