Abstract

WHO suggests all countries including Indonesia to increase early awareness and respond quickly to cases that potentially spread. Indonesia has developed a system called Early Warning Alerts and responses (EWARS) to detect any threat or an indication of an infectious disease outbreak and reported weekly on a computer-based website. The cross-sectional study aimed to develop an instrument to systematically assess data management and reporting system for implementing the EWARS. The EWARS evaluation instrument was adopted and modified from the “Data Quality Assessment for Neglected Tropical Diseases: Guidelines for Implementation”. The instrument was used to obtain primary and secondary data by interviewing EWARS officers at each level. The instrument contains several indicators, including reporting data management, timeliness and accuracy of reports, linked to national systems and readiness for new infectious diseases. The indicator assessed value using Likert scale and visualized onto spider graph chart. The instrument’s effectiveness can be seen from the ability of the instrument to assess programs that are running following applicable guidelines and SOPs. There was a management gap between Tanah Bumbu District and Banjar District. The results of the instrumented assessment in the epidemiological week show that the data management activities and EWARS reporting system from Banjar District appear to be more organized and systematic. The instrument with good performance was used by program managers who carried out according to the established EWARS guidelines (above the average of 0.6). The low performance of the instrument in several areas was caused by officers who did not implement the program according to the guidelines.
