Highlights SIJARIEMAS works within these steps: Step 1: Midwife identifies a complication and sends an SMS of patient data, vital signs, diagnosis and pre-treatment information to SIJARIEMAS system. Step 2: The system automatically routes the message to the nearest hospital. Step 3: An alarm is triggered in the referral hospital emergency room. Step 4: Referral hospital staff assesses whether they are able to handle the patient (based on bed availability, blood supply, specialists on duty, etc) and either accept or reject the referral. Step 5: If accepted, the incoming referral notification is automatically forwarded to the emergency team. If rejected, the system routes the message to the next closest hospital.

The Quarterly M&E Update The first EMAS quarterly performance update Maya Tholandi
What is the Update? The M&E Team in collaboration with the Communications Team has prepared the first EMAS Quarterly Performance Update. Each quarter, the EMAS PMP is updated for the USAID quarterly report. The PMP is a great resource to examine our program’s performance, however it is limited to specific indicators. The Update uses data collected for the EMAS PMP to show performance in graphical format for a given quarter across four areas: (1) clinical performance; (2) clinical governance standards; (3) referral standards and MPA; and, (4) EMAS intervention performance and service statistic results. What does the Update include? The Update presents data collected for the EMAS PMP in charts and tabular format. In addition to showing data from the most recent quarter, the update shows data from a few prior quarters. In this way, trends can be examined. Additionally, the Update charts EMAS intervention results and facility service statistics. This allows us to observe whether improved performance in EMAS interventions is matched with facility performance. The first update has been prepared for Year 2, Quarter 3. Going forward, the update will be prepared each quarter for national-level data. How can I use the Update? Tables and figures in the M&E Update can be used by EMAS staff to understand EMAS performance for selected areas over time. The document can be shared with stakeholders. The charts and figures can also be used in presentations. Where can I find the Update? The first edition of the Update will be emailed to all EMAS staff by Bu Anne and will include a voice over to explain the different sections of the document. In future quarters, the Update will be emailed to EMAS staff and placed on the EMAS Sharepoint Site.

However, for some people, these two transports might not be too friendly for their pockets, also that more private cars on the street means heavier traffic. The air-conditioned Trans-Jakarta, Kopaja and KRL (Kereta Api Listrik) are getting more attention from mid-low citizens after the government puts a bigger concern in providing a more convenient and safe infrastructure. However, in an urban area like Jakarta, awareness and patience are highly required when using such transports, especially because we will be dealing a lot with waiting, queuing, impolite people who

As a foreigner, she has a tip to avoid—let us call it—the ojek overcharge against foreigner. “I will go with the same driver every day, so I give the same amount of money every time I go with him,” she explained. “Oh, and do not negotiate in the beginning. Do not ask how much you should give before you ride. Just tell him where you want to go, then hand a particular amount of money when you arrive,” she added.

always mean less time. The governor keeps studying and finding the best way to create a more convenient infrastructure, and everyone might be very excited about the upcoming Monorail, the Jakarta Eco Transport (JET). This problematic situation seems to be everyone’s problem, including our Chief of Party, Anne Hyre. Born in Nevada, December 8, 1967, has lived in four different countries (Switzerland, France, Rusia and Indonesia) and visited around 15 countries, Ms. Hyre, or whom we usually call Ibu Anne, has witnessed and experienced a number of different infrastructures.

Pak Fadil is quite special, because he was born with seven fingers, and that was how he knew Dr. Bahar. Next, he told me that his child had been born in LKBK too,” Ibu Anne explained. Riding an ojek has now been Ibu Anne’s daily routine. To see almost the same things and pass almost the same streets every day have been a common thing for her, and perhaps for most of us. Ibu Anne once got a thought, “What I think and see as usual, maybe they are not for my sister,” and then she began to see things from different perspectives. She imagines every day as a new day, and sometimes she re-

Profile However, for Ibu Anne, it is not always fun to ride an ojek. “Sometimes when I am tired, it is quite stressful to be on an ojek, especially because we have to deal with bajajs and Kopaja and smokes,” Ibu Anne said. “When it comes to rainy season, besides helmet, I also bring my own coat. One day, it was raining, and I wore my coat, while the ojek driver did not. We had to pass a flooded area, and the driver became really wet. When we arrived, I doubled the money because of the unfriendly weather,” she added. “In the end, it is not so bad to ride an ojek. I even encouraged my 10- and 12-year-old children to go with ojek to save time. I gave them the tips and tricks for their convenience and safety,” Ibu Anne ended the conversation.
Survival guide for foreigners: •
Bring your own helmet if you do not want to use the shared ones.
•
Unless you want to donate your change, bring an exact amount of money. Tricky ojek drivers would probably say that they do not have any change.
•
Ask your friends how much you need to pay for a particular distance. Different area might have different standard.
•
Learn Bahasa Indonesia for ojek purpose.
•
Put on a mask.
•
Put your bag in front of you to keep safe your belongings.
•
Remind the driver to slow down if he is too fast. If he does not listen to you, pray!
•
If you feel you can trust him, ask his number, just in case you need a ride somewhere someday.
•
Bring your own coat and slippers on rainy seasons.

Sneak Peek
Clean, Eye-catching, User-friendly The redesigned EMAS website Cindy Rahmaputri To accommodate a bigger need and to grab a wider audience, our EMAS website is being redesigned currently. The objective is to make it more clean, eye-catching and user-friendly. The color white has been chosen as the basic color, to highlight the site’s cleanliness and to easily combine it with any other colors as foreground. Clean is the first upmost impression that we want users to see. The power of high-quality images and catchy wording are the two things we put on the site to attract the eyes. Every photos appear on the site must have high quality, either in composition, color, tone, theme or moment. Wording should be able to catch user’s attention in a glance, because users today do not read but surf. Even if they do reading, they need titles that catch their attention at a glance.
Homepage
User-friendliness appears on the site through usability or ease-of-use. This site has to be able to
provide what users need as quick as possible. A site, an application, or any device, that cannot support today’s mobile culture will not survive. Even if they survive, it will not last long. To make users addicted to something, usability or user-friendliness needs to be preserved. Now, that the EMAS website has been in a redesign phase for a while, the site has somewhat given the three objectives we seek. However, 70% is what we have today, and we still need to work out the remaining 30%. Improvements are still in the making. Visit the demo version of EMAS redesigned website at: emasindonesia.org/demo and share us your thoughts! As a source of information, the redesigned pages should be able to provide a wide-range of information for any levels — communities, health facilities, government, organizations, private sectors, international foundations, donors and so on. We need your help to examine the redesigned site to make sure that we have provided enough information for everyone. Your feedback matters to us, and we are happy to receive any comments in our inbox. Send your ideas—or found bugs—to: info.emasindonesia@jhpiego.org We are looking forward to reading from you!

Hello! We happily invite you to contribute to the next edition, by sending us your articles/ photos/idea/criticism to: info.emasindonesia@jhpiego.org Please do not mind the language; you can write either in Bahasa Indonesia or English. The idea is that we are trying to create a medium where everyone can share anything to anyone internally. Internal means that this newsletter is aimed for Jhpiego staffs and consortiums only. So, please share anything you think is worth knowing. The newsletter will be published monthly (every Wednesday of the first week), so all articles and photos will go through the editing and layout processes on the last week of each month. Hence, if you want your articles to be published in the next edition, the monthly submission deadline would be on the 15th. If you want your article to be published in the second edition (December 2013), you need to submit your articles/ photos/idea/criticism before November 16, 2013. We also invite you to participate in our social media presence by giving Likes on EMAS’ Facebook Page or following EMAS on Twitter.
