Pengelolaan limbah medis merupakan isu penting dalam pelayanan kesehatan
karena berpotensi menimbulkan dampak terhadap kesehatan dan lingkungan apabila
tidak dikelola dengan baik. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan limbah medis
RS Paru Dr. M. Goenawan Partowidigdo menerapkan aplikasi ME-SMILE (Medical
Waste in Sistem Monitoring Imunisasi dan Logistik berbasis Elektronik) sebagai
sistem digital berbasis Internet of Things (IoT).
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penerapan aplikasi ME-SMILE terhadap
efektivitas pengelolaan limbah medis di RS Paru Dr. M. Goenawan Partowidigdo.
Penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Teknik
pengambilan informan dengan purposive sampling sebanyak 7 informan, terdiri dari
informan kunci yaitu kepala instalasi kesehatan lingkungan rspg dan 2 petugas
kesehatan lingkungan. Kemudian informan utama yaitu 2 operator Me-Smile dan 2
operator lagi sebagai informan tambahan.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan ME-SMILE didukung oleh
sumber daya manusia, sarana prasarana, dan standar operasional prosedur. Penerapan
ME-SMILE dinilai efektif karena meningkatkan akurasi data, mempermudah
pemantauan dan pelaporan, meningkatkan efisiensi waktu, serta mendorong
kedipsilinan petugas dalam pencatatan secara real-time.

Medical waste management is a critical issue in healthcare because it can
potentially impact health and the environment if not managed properly. To improve the
quality of medical waste management, Dr. M. Goenawan Partowidigdo Lung Hospital
has implemented the ME-SMILE (Medical Waste in Electronic-Based Immunization
and Logistics Monitoring System) application as an Internet of Things (IoT)-based
digital system.
This study aims to analyze the implementation of the ME-SMILE application
on the effectiveness of medical waste management at Dr. M. Goenawan Partowidigdo
Lung Hospital. The study used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The
informant collection technique was purposive sampling of 7 informants, consisting of
key informants, namely the head of the RSPG environmental health installation and 2
environmental health officers. Then the main informants were 2 Me-Smile operators
and 2 more operators as additional informants.
The research results show that the implementation of ME-SMILE is supported
by human resources, infrastructure, and standard operating procedures. ME-SMILE
implementation is considered effective because it improves data accuracy, simplifies
monitoring and reporting, increases time efficiency, and encourages officer discipline
in real-time recording.
