Pending claims in Indonesia’s National Health Insurance (JKN) system pose a significant challenge, affecting hospital cash flow and administrative efficiency. A high rate of pending claims is often caused by incomplete documentation, misfiled medical records, and delays in verification processes. Optimizing manual administrative procedures may provide a solution to this issue. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized manual administration model in reducing pending claims in a hospital setting. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design without a control group was employed. Data were collected from a referral hospital in Indonesia from July to September 2024. A total of 138 inpatient claims were selected using simple random sampling. The intervention involved implementing a standardized manual administration system in August and September. Statistical analysis was conducted using Fisher’s Exact Test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The implementation of the standardized manual administration model significantly reduced pending claims from 70.3% (97/138) in July (pre-intervention) to 36.2% (50/138) in August and further to 11.6% (16/138) in September (post-intervention) (p = 0.000 and p = 0.003, respectively). Additionally, improvements were observed in medical record completeness, supporting examination documentation, and administrative accuracy. A standardized manual administration system effectively decreases pending claims in JKN by improving documentation and claim verification processes.

Madrasas and Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions that have a strategic role in shaping the character, morals, and competencies of students. In addition to carrying out the formal learning process, these two institutions are also centers for moral, spiritual, and social development. In their operations, madrasas and pesantren manage various administrative activities, such as student data collection, attendance recording, grade processing, teacher data management, lesson schedule preparation, and delivery of academic information to related parties. However, many institutions still use manual systems that rely on notebooks or separate applications that are not integrated. This condition poses a number of obstacles, including the high risk of recording errors, duplicate data that is difficult to track, the slow process of recapitulation of grades and attendance, and delays in the delivery of academic information. In addition, manual processes cause administrative management to be less efficient and prone to data loss. As the need for fast, accurate, and accurate information increases, technological solutions are needed that are able to integrate all administrative and academic processes in one centralized system. Web-based information systems are an effective alternative to improve work efficiency, minimize errors, and facilitate access to information for teachers, students, and guardians. With the implementation of a well-managed system, madrasas and Islamic boarding schools are expected to improve the quality of services and support a more modern, structured, and sustainable learning process.
