The instrument contained 36 items and was administered to about 400 respondents, while 360 completed and returned their Questionnaire. The statistical techniques used for the analysis were the Chi–Square and correlation. The Chi–Square analysis revealed that the quality of e–banking services offered by banks have significant influence on their customers at 95%, 3 degree of freedom. The paper recommends that various measures should be put in place to ensure more security such as installation of encrypted software, verification system of customer’s identification cards, frequent change of password, examining test questions and using mixed password such as the use of alphanumeric amongst others.

<p>Increasing competition in the Indonesian banking industry has encouraged many banks to improve the quality of services to customers by utilizing information technology developments. Service innovation in the use of information technology encourages banks to enter the era of digital banking services. However, the development of digital banking services also increases the risks faced by banks. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the implementation of digital banking services and customer protection for risks from digital banking services. The method used in this study is an empirical legal research method. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of digital banking services is regulated by OJK Regulation No.12/POJK.03/2018. The existence of this OJK Regulation is expected by banks as providers of digital banking services to always prioritize risk management in the use of information technology. In addition, this study also shows the existence of 2 types of customer protection for the use of digital banking services, namely preventive protection in the form of legislation related to customer protection in the financial services sector and repressive protection in the form of bank accountability for complaints from customers using digital banking services.</p>

Introduction : The Neurocritical Care Society encourages an external ventricular drain (EVD) wean “as quickly as is clinically feasible” but guidelines on achieving it are limited (1). This study aims to improve quality of care by sharing a protocol to initiate EVD weaning. These criteria were developed over 7 years and showed a reduction in ventriculoperitoneal shunt/endoscopic third ventriculostomy (VPS/ETV) placement and length of stay (LOS) at our institute compared to national averages. Methods : 151 subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients from January 2016 to January 2019 were analyzed. 60 aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) and 18 non‐aneurysmal nontraumatic SAH (naSAH) patients required EVD placement. A gradual EVD weaning protocol was initiated if patients met the following criteria: the reason for EVD placement has resolved or is resolving, quantity of CSF output must be <250mL over 24 hours, quality of CSF must be nonbloody, ICP must be within normal limits, and the patient must be neurologically stable. It was acceptable to wean when the patient had mild cerebral vasospasm, but not moderate to severe cerebral vasospasm. EVD weaning was performed by increasing drain height by 5 millimeters of mercury every 24 hours if criteria were met. Charts were reviewed for LOS and rate of VPS/ETV. Gender, age, race, wean failure incidence, infection rates, and SIADH/CSW rates were obtained. Results : Average LOS for aSAH patients with EVD at our institute was 20.35 days. Incidence of VPS/ETV was 11%. Chi‐square analysis was performed, and aSAH patients were found to have higher rates of VPS/ETV placement (p<0.001) and EVD wean failures (p<0.001) than naSAH patients. Conclusions : Our criteria to initiate EVD weaning provided a reduction in VPS/ETV placement among aSAH patients compared to national averages and provides a standardized approach to EVD management. aSAH patients at our institute had a lower incidence of VPS/ETV placement of 11% compared to 21% nationally (2). aSAH patients at our institute also had a lower LOS at 20.35 days compared to 21.5 days nationally (3).

Since the introduction of automatic teller machines, the online banking industry have evolved rapidly in order to stay abreast of today’s digital savvy customers. By keeping up to date with changes in the external environment as well as consumer needs can elevate the competitive advantage of banks. With that in mind, banks need to ensure that the service quality of the online banking services meets the expectations of its customers. The objective of the study is to evaluate and investigate the online banking customers’ perceptions of the service quality of banks in South Africa (SA) and Indonesia (INA). A survey was conducted among more than 300 respondents from both countries. The results revealed that within the eight dimensions of online banking service quality, each of the countries have different experiences when it comes to “high tech” versus “high touch”. The study has also found significant differences between the perceptions of both SA and INA’s banking customers. By understanding the perceptions of online banking customers in two developing countries can assist financial institutions with the development of new services or technologies that will enhance the online banking experience.
