Editor’s Note

This newsletter comes in a mission to deliver a warm and enchanted message:

“Have a sit and relaxed!”

Just in case you work too hard every day the whole week, we invite you to take a break fifteen to twenty minutes, reading the newsletter while having your afternoon tea. You never know what things in the neighborhood that you probably missed while you were soaking in a pile of papers or reports.

The montly newsletter will simply talk about us. You might be laughing, smiling, proud, flat, or perhaps cynical at the moment of reading, but whatever you feel, please remember to have a sit and relaxed!

In the end, this first edition would never arrive right at your desk without the help of some helpful people. We would like to thank Anne Hyre, Maya Tholandi, Ita Yusdarita, Fransiscus Dian Wijanarko, Syane Luntungan, Dwi Yuniarti Rahayu, Ema Aziqfar and Cut Sofa Kumala for every single contribution.

This is the gate for us to get into each other, thus we are waiting for your participation in preparing the next edition of our newsletter. We are open to any articles/photos/idea/criticism, and if you are interested in contributing your idea, please read the rest of the newsletter and you will find how to contribute afterwards.

Enjoy!

Great Excitements, Great Actors The making of SIJARIEMAS videoPhotos & Text: Hartono Rakiman


The talents who were acting in front of the camera really played liked actors. Banten

Vice Governor Rano Karno (former actor and director) who was watching the video

acclaimed, “Is it real or just simulation?”

Highlights

Banten Hospital was launched on October 3, 2013. During the launching, SIJARIEMAS

video simulation was played, as a part of referral system using mobile technology. The

video making was finished 2 days before the event, took place at Puskesmas (health

center) Pontang and RSUD (hospital) Serang. The actors are health workers of

Puskesmas Pontang, KIA motivator and health officers of RSUD Serang.


The video describes the case of a mother who suffers from eclampsia with placenta

abruption. Siti, performing as the mother, came on a rickshaw ride, escorted by the

village midwife, her husband and KIA motivator. She suffers from abdominal pain and

blood comes out from her vagina. Puskesmas conducts stabilization treatment by

providing RL infusion, MgSO4, oxygen, HB and urine protein checks. For such severe

case, the Puskesmas then refer the mother to RSUD Serang by using SIJARIEMAS

mobile technology. RSUD Serang is officially contacted via SMS.

As the message sent, the health officer of RSUD Serang receives the sound of

Highlights

SIJARIEMAS sirens from the computer. It is a sign that a referred patient needs

immediate response. After the coordination between the health officer and the

Maternal and Neonatal Emergency Team is made, the patient then referred to RSUD

Banten (provincial hospital), as the NICU/ Perinatology room of RSUD Serang is all

occupied.

SIJARIEMAS is built on the premise of using a simple SMS technology to improve

communication within health system which will minimize delay, enable facilities to be

prepared for incoming emergencies and help saving lives.

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 updateMaya 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.

Phillipines and India. Congratulations!

In the End It Is Not So Bad Anne Hyre about riding an ojekCindy Rahmaputri

To decide what means of transportation that we might use to go to the office is a bit

problematic sometimes. Since each transport has its plus and minus, we might consider

to sacrifice several things to get into the most effective way.

A private car or a taxi might be the most convenient one. We do not need to inhale too

much dangerous substance on the street or bad odor, like for example, in a bus.

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

do not know what to queue means, bad odor, or even theft and molestation.

It is obvious that in Jakarta, when it comes to transportation, bigger money does not

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. Some of them might be better, but some might be worse

than Jakarta. ”70% waktu saya habis di jalan (I spend 70% of my time on the road),” Ibu

Anne said.

To deal with Jakarta, Ibu Anne has apparently found the most efficient way to get to our

Jhpiego office in Jalan H.R. Rasuna Said. What is so special about this?

Usually in the morning, she goes by car, but to leave for her house in Kemang in the

afternoon, she prefers ojek (motorcycle taxi). As she has to pass Mampang Prapatan

area, which we know is high in traffic, Ibu Anne has decided to go home on an ojek to

be more time-efficient. “It is 35 minutes from here (Jhpiego office) to my house in

Kemang,” she said. “I give Rp 30,000 to the driver,” she added.

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.

Now, she has her usual ojek driver to go home with. His name is Pak Fadil. “In the

beginning, I used to talk about ordinary things with him. Later on, I found out that he

knew Dr. Bahar of the LKBK. How did I find out? So, one day, I asked him to take me to

LKBK, and he was quite excited. He told me that he had been born in LKBK. 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-

cords her way home on an ojek with her cellphone. She sends the videos to her sister in

the U.S., and indeed, every thing she sees every day is something new for her sister. “It

is exciting to record such video,” Ibu Anne said.


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.

Profile

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.

Investigation

No One Votes for Anyone, Really? Revealing the vacuum of the “Reward and Recognition Program”Photos & text: Cindy Rahmaputri

The last round (January-June 2013) of Jhpiego Indonesia’s Reward and Recognition

Program has passed with no one listed as a winner, while the earlier rounds named

Basri Abbas, Firdaus and Prima (July-December 2012), Cut Sofa Kumala, Hengky

Hutajulu and Luthfi Ishak (January-June 2012), and Ita Yusdarita (July-December 2011)

and some other proud names as winners.

The mission is clear, the step is quite easy. Why no one submit any names? Is everyone

too busy to write any names? Or does everyone feel no one deserves the award or too

many does? What is the matter?

This article arises to answer the question: why no one vote for anyone on the last

round? An investigation has been made on one fine afternoon, and some answers were

revealed. Below are some of the answers. Note that all names go by PSEUDONYMS for

the sake of the universe peace, heheh.. Cheers!

Catherine: “No one came or asked me anything.”

George Wilson: “I got the email, but sometimes I forgot what I read on email. Better

if someone comes with a card or something and a box to put the card in. Or, someone

can come and just wait until I write a name. About the prize.. a short course, not

necessarily abroad, would be very interesting.”

Daisy Buchanan: “It looks like not a serious program. I’m talking about the selection

system, better to make it more serious, and the prize.. how about a free holiday trip?”

Nick Carraway: “We need a clear number of nominees; how many at national level,

how many at provincial level. Also that everyone has been working so well, and it’s a bit

hard for me to choose. I think too long and end up not choosing anyone, heheh..”

Jay Gatsby: “Someone should’ve given us a small paper and a container, visit everyone

one by one like what you’re doing right now. Better to have the nominees first, both

from the national and provincial levels, so we can have a better idea about whom to

choose.”

Jordan Baker: “First, the prize is not big. Second, it’s taken as Benefit, and Benefit

affects tax. Third, I don’t know the criteria. Fourth, I don’t know where to submit the

Cut Sofa Kumala and her Certification of Appreciation signed by Country Director

names, hahah..”

Dan Cody: “Too busy, I think, and I got no socialization except via email. A simpler

voting method would be preferrable.”

Now that we have all of these answers, which might represent all other voices in the

office, what are we going to do about this? Is this program still relevant? If the answer

is no, we know exactly what to do. But if the answer is yes, a more friendly approach

and everyone’s willingness might be needed.Program Coordinator Cut Sofa

Kumala, the first winner of

January-June 2012 round admitted,

“Of course I was happy! And it was

something that I hadn’t predicted

before, because I was new in the

office. But, this also become a

‘burden,’ because we have to

preserve what we have achieved.

However, the feeling of happiness

was much bigger than the burden.

Because of this award, I became truly

aware that there had been people

who thought that I was good, and it

means they had been watching, and

it means they had been cared about

me. But, it did not make me stop

right there. I am far from the feeling

of satisfaction. I still need to learn so

many things from others at Jhpiego.”

Program Manager Ita Yusdarita, the first winner of July-December 2011 round, in a

different time of interview, said almost the same thing, “Yes, I was happy, because what

we had been doing was appreciated and that people thought I could be their

motivation to work with their heart. Instead of thinking about rewards, we should think

about results. To be honest, I don’t need material rewards. I prefer for supportive words

or attitudes for us to be willing enough to help each other, and instead of blaming, we

should’ve encouraged someone to be better, and that’s enough. No blaming.”


Investigation

Whatever we think, if there is someone who is outstanding, and we want to show him/

her that he/she is outstanding, and we want to motivate him/her to always be

outstanding, then we need to write a name. To refresh us about the program, here is

the brief:

Jhpiego Indonesia “Reward and Recognition Program.” The Jhpiego Indonesia

“Reward and Recognition Program” has been established to reward and recognize all

Jhpiego staff for their outstanding achievements, contributions and behaviors that

advance the mission and strategic goals of Jhpiego. This program will identify and

reward employee attributes that add value to Jhpiego such as dedication, enthusiasm,

service excellence, volunteerism, problem solving, customer relations, leadership,

decision-making and commitment to accomplish a task.

Eligibility. All Jhpiego Indonesia employees will be eligible to participate in the reward

and recognition program. Consultants are not eligible to participate. Employees must

have concluded their 90-day introductory period and currently not be the subject of

any disciplinary action. If a nominee has won an award in the previous award cycle,

they are not eligible again until the next period.

Nominations. All Jhpiego Indonesia employees, can submit up to three nominations

per cycle, which is semi-annual to the nominations webpage. There is no limit on the

number of times an individual can be nominated. Self-nominations will not be

accepted.

Nominations for awards can be based on the following types of accomplishments, for

example:

• An innovative idea for a new initiative or solution to a workplace challenge

• A new process within the department or organization that results in a constructive

change

• A significant business process improvement resulting in cost and/or time savings

• Providing leadership while the director or manager is out for an extended period of

time

Reward & Recognition Program

Ita Yusdarita after interview

An interesting fact about becoming a winner is

that whoever wins, he/she will be the judge on

the next round. Both Miss Sofa and Ita had once

had their experience as winners and judges.

In the end, to vote or not to vote, it all depends

on us. If we want to make a change, we begin

with ourselves. If we think someone deserves

the award, write his/her name, no matter what

the prize is. To give him/her what he/she

deserves is all that matters. If we think the prize

is not big enough, wait until we become the

winner. But, have we ever imagined, if the prize

of this program is very big, let us say a house,

a real house in an elite area in Jakarta, what do

we think would happen in the office?


Hello!We happily invite you to contribute to the next edition, by sending us your articles/

photos/idea/criticism to:

[email protected]

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. We are currently in an effort to spread

more words about EMAS to a wider audience, so do not hesitate to participate in the

conversation.

Thank you,

The Communications Team
