iSIKHNAS Co-ordinator Manual
Introduction
Basic founding principles of iSIKHNAS
As any system matures, it is valuable to keep in mind of the founding principles upon which it was designed and built. iSIKHNAS will become the backbone of all Indonesia's efforts to improve animal health, secure the livelihoods of livestock owners and ensure good management of production and food supply in the country. It was designed and built in careful collaboration with a wide range of dedicated staff working for improved animal health in many different regions.
iSIKHNAS was designed so that it should;
- be flexible, user-friendly, sustainable and bring benefit to all of its users.
- meet the needs of users from as many sectors of the livestock industry as possible.
- use appropriate technology and not require great change to existing systems.
- integrate existing systems to facilitate the collaborative use of data.
- simplify and ease the data entry burden and ensure the rapid availability of data from the field.
- recognise the vital contribution each user plays in the transfer of information.
- provide benefit and good service to all its users.
- make all data widely and freely available for decision making at all levels and for a multitude of purposes.
As a system coordinator, your leadership and guidance will help to ensure these principles remain fundamental to the system and its users. iSIKHNAS is not a data collection tool but an integrated system which will empower its users with access to relevant, up to date information rapidly and cheaply so that they can concentrate on core activities. As a coordinator, you are part of the new animal health service which is built on good relationships, clear and timely communication, leadership and support.
Whilst much effort has been gone into minimising change, the new iSIKHNAS will inevitably bring about some change for all staff. Every coordinator will have to be equipped to chaperone newcomers to the system, assist in training and system operations, offer support by telephone and email, monitor reporting, errors and address weaknesses. Staff should be congratulated and thanked, given positive reinforcement for their successful engagement with the system and assisted wherever there are difficulties. Collaboration with livestock owners and their communities should give benefit or have positive outcomes at every interaction. At every step, we should remember that this is a system for providing a service to all its users equally. If everyone contributes with this in mind we will all benefit.
iSIKHNAS coordination and management model
The management of the iSIKHNAS animal health information system will be overseen by a committee appointed by the Director General of Animal Health and Livestock Services. This committee will comprise senior representation from key stakeholder groups including Production, Veterinary Public Health, Drugs Administration and Quarantine, for example.
The management committee will be supported by the technical expertise provided by the System Administrators (Champions) and the Epidemiology Advisory Panel (Epi Leaders).
Key subsectors involved in certain specialist areas such as Production and Public Health will appoint coordinators to lead the oversight and training of officers involved in these activities.
Each administrative level will appoint a coordinator appointed and that person will be given detailed training in the use and oversight of the system. This will mean that every region, province and kabupaten will have a designated iSIKHNAS coordinator. Some areas may choose to share the coordination between two or three staff members to ensure that the system is monitored and users are supported at all times.
Roles and responsibilities:Regional and Provincial coordinators
Regional and provincial coordinators play an important leadership, support and system oversight role.
Roles and responsibilities:District coordinators
District coordinators play a vital leadership, support and system oversight role at the district level. They train, motivate and support their dinas staff and all other users enabling everyone to work efficiently and effectively.
Using the iSIKHNAS Website for Administration and Monitoring
A few important things to remember about the website.
Security
- Every user must be registered before they can be given access (a password) to the iSIKHNAS website. The password ensures the website remains as secure as possible. The data on the website should never be shared with anyone without authorisation.
- The website automatically logs a user out after a certain time of inactivity. So if you leave your desk for a while and return, you will probably find that you will have to log back in to the website. This is done for security reasons.
View
- Every user will have a different view of the website and different access rights to parts of the website according to their assigned User Type and Location.
- This acts to simplify the site for users and adapt it to suit each user's core interests and responsibilities.
- The site will change over time. Features will be improved, new features added and new reports created - users should be prepared to adapt to the changing face of the system.
Manage
The Manage menu allows coordinators to create, update and manage users and special programs such as for vaccination and surveillance, as well as managing infrastructure and location data.
Reports
The Reports menu provides access to the database for animal health and staff monitoring purposes. It allows coordinators to view reports and analyses in various formats, as well as download raw data.
