Abstract

Special officers who manage medical devices delegate their duties in each area so that the officers do not know which devices are still functioning or not, and officers are still concurrently with other duties concurrently. The study aims to determine the logistics management of medical devices at Community Health Center X, Tegal Regency. The study used a qualitative method with seven informants, including the general administration section and holders of facilities, infrastructure, and medical device applications, technical officers, laboratory sections, dental and oral sections, delivery rooms, financial holders, and the head of administration. Data collection was carried out using observation, interviews, and documentation methods. The results of the study showed that there were still obstacles 46% for facilities and infrastructure, and 14% for medical devices. Human resources managing medical device logistics were mostly still concurrently held by general administration officers. The use of medical devices at Community Health Center X, Tegal Regency, has been running well, but for maintenance, there is no special officer tasked with maintaining equipment with routine checks. It is hoped that future researchers can conduct more in-depth research to obtain supporting data and avoid gaps during interviews.

Review

This study presents a timely and relevant qualitative evaluation of medical device logistics management at Puskesmas X in Tegal Regency. The abstract clearly outlines the problem of delegated and concurrent duties leading to operational inefficiencies, setting a focused objective to understand the current state of logistics management. Utilizing a qualitative methodology with seven key informants from various sections, alongside observation, interviews, and documentation, the research offers a direct and in-depth look into the daily challenges faced by a community health center. The chosen approach is appropriate for exploring the complex interplay of human resources, infrastructure, and device management in a specific local context. The paper makes a valuable contribution by highlighting specific areas of concern within the Puskesmas's logistics system. Key findings indicate significant obstacles in facilities and infrastructure (46%) and medical devices (14%), though the quantitative representation of these qualitative findings warrants further clarification in the full paper. Crucially, the research identifies human resource concurrency as a major issue, with general administration officers managing logistics, and points out a significant gap in dedicated personnel for routine medical device maintenance. The observation that medical device usage is generally good, yet maintenance is lacking, provides a clear, actionable insight for improving the longevity and reliability of equipment. While the study provides a solid foundation, the abstract's mention of "gaps during interviews" and the call for "more in-depth research to obtain supporting data" suggest potential limitations in the current study's breadth or depth of data collection. Future work could benefit from a clearer exposition of the *nature* of the 46% and 14% obstacles, providing more specific examples to illustrate the identified challenges. Additionally, the paper would be strengthened by offering more concrete recommendations derived from the findings, beyond simply identifying problems, that could guide the Puskesmas in addressing the HR concurrency and maintenance deficits. Despite these points, the study serves as an important initial assessment for optimizing healthcare logistics in similar settings.
