This study aims to analyze the implementation of the completeness of filling in and the timeliness of returning inpatient medical record files at the Makassar City Hospital. This type of research is mixed methods research. The study design used a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in September - October 2020. The results showed that the implementation of completeness of filling in and the timeliness of returning medical record files was still low, this has led to the accumulation of medical record files in the treatment room and delays in returning the files of inpatients to the medical record installation of the City Hospital Makassar. Training on the implementation of medical records has not been comprehensive for all officers at the Makassar City Hospital. The result of the delay in returning the documents is the delay in payment of insurance claims to the hospital. Accumulation of medical records in the treatment room from incomplete medical records and returned to the treatment room. Health workers who forget to fill in complete medical records are only given a sanction in the form of a warning during a meeting with the medical committee. Availability of SOP on filling and returning medical record files at the hospital. The facilities and infrastructure in the implementation of medical records are still insufficient for medical record employees at Makassar City Hospital.

Conceptual Approach

Electronic medical records (RME) have been used in hospitals as a substitute for or complementary to medical records in the form of paper. The obligation to make medical records is the responsibility of every doctor or dentist in carrying out the medical practice. However, the use of electronic-based medical records does not rule out the possibility of raising problems in the field of law, if some abuse it. This will raise the issue of who has the obligation to take responsibility. The problem is the background of the author to write in an article with the title "Accountability for the Misuse of Electronic Medical Record Abuse in Health Services". The formulation of the problem in this article is: 1) Setting an electronic medical record; 2) Criminal liability for the misuse of electronic medical records. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. From the discussion, it can be seen that in Indonesia the obligation to make medical records is specifically regulated in the Medical Practice Law. Furthermore, in the Ministry of Health No. 269 / MENKES / PER / III / 2008 especially Article 2 paragraph 2 states that medical records can be made electronically. However, to date, no specific regulations are governing electronic medical records. The use of electronic systems in medical records makes it necessary to heed the provisions of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions. The party who has the responsibility for the misuse of the Electronic Medical Record covers people who in this case are medical personnel or certain health workers. Hospitals can also be held responsible for the misuse of electronic medical records.
