This study examines the importance of legal protection for healthcare workers in medical services, particularly in the Central Surgical Installation of the Regional General Hospital of Mataram City, which involves high medical risks. The background of this research is based on the increasing potential for medical disputes and the vulnerability of healthcare workers to legal claims due to discrepancies between medical outcomes and patient expectations. The objective of this study is to analyze the implementation of legal protection and identify the challenges faced in practice. The research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that legal protection has been implemented through standard operating procedures, informed consent, and internal hospital policies in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to several constraints, including limited legal awareness among healthcare workers, inadequate legal assistance systems, and increasing public demands. The study implies the need to enhance legal education for healthcare workers and strengthen the role of hospitals in providing effective legal protection to support professional and safe healthcare services.

This study aims to analyze The Responsibility of the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) TC. Hilers Maumere regarding the practice of burning medical waste and to examine its conformity with the provisions of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health and other regulations related to hazardous waste management. Medical waste management is an important issue because improper handling may cause environmental pollution and pose serious risks to public health. This research employs an empirical legal research method with a descriptive approach, examining how the law operates in society through field data collection and analysis of relevant legal regulations.The results show that RSUD TC. Hilers Maumere implements a waste management system that includes the separation of household waste, liquid waste, and hazardous and toxic waste (B3). Medical waste is categorized and packaged according to its type, weighed, temporarily stored in medical waste storage facilities, and then destroyed using an incinerator or transported by authorized third parties. However, the practice of burning medical waste must be strictly supervised to prevent environmental impacts and potential legal violations. Therefore, stronger supervision, compliance with medical waste management standards, and the implementation of firm legal responsibility are necessary to protect public health and environmental sustainability.

This study is motivated by the increasing complexity of financing coordination between the National Health Insurance (BPJS Kesehatan) and supplementary health insurance providers under the Coordination of Benefits (KAPJ) scheme, which creates potential claim disputes and administrative risks for hospitals. Although Minister of Health Decree No. HK.01.07/MENKES/1117/2025 regulates payment allocation and membership verification mechanisms, it does not explicitly recognize pre-admission confirmation as a preventive legal protection instrument. This research aims to analyze the normative position of pre-admission confirmation within the KAPJ framework, conceptualize it as a preventive legal protection mechanism, and formulate a proportional implementation model. The study employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches through literature review of relevant regulations and scholarly works. The findings indicate that pre-admission confirmation possesses implicit normative legitimacy through membership verification obligations and system integration requirements, and functions as a risk allocation mechanism that clarifies payment responsibilities prior to service delivery. Its implementation enhances legal certainty, reduces fraud potential, and minimizes claim disputes, provided that access to emergency medical services remains guaranteed.

Penelitian ini membahas kekuatan hukum akta perjanjian kerja sama yang dibuat di bawah tangan antara Rumah Sakit Bethesda Yogyakarta dan Yakes Telkom Area Jawa Tengah–DIY. Perjanjian ini menimbulkan persoalan hukum ketika terjadi wanprestasi berupa keterlambatan penagihan sebesar Rp5.962.000 pada periode Juni–Agustus 2023. Permasalahan yang dikaji meliputi: (1) kekuatan hukum akta bawah tangan dalam perspektif hukum perdata, (2) efektivitas pembuktian akta bawah tangan dibandingkan akta otentik serta implikasinya terhadap penyelesaian sengketa dan (3) perlindungan hukum bagi pihak yang dirugikan. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, konseptual, dan kasus. Data diperoleh dari bahan hukum primer, sekunder, dan tersier, kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akta bawah tangan sah menurut Pasal 1320 KUH Perdata, namun memiliki kelemahan pembuktian karena mudah disangkal dan tidak memiliki kekuatan eksekutorial. Perlindungan hukum tetap tersedia bagi pihak yang dirugikan, tetapi prosesnya lebih kompleks di pengadilan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya penggunaan akta otentik melalui notaris agar perjanjian kerja sama memperoleh kekuatan pembuktian sempurna, kepastian hukum, serta perlindungan lebih kuat bagi para pihak

Informed consent constitutes a fundamental legal and ethical requirement in healthcare services, ensuring that every medical action is performed with the patient’s full awareness and voluntary approval. In Indonesia, the obligation to obtain informed consent is firmly regulated under the Health Law No. 17 of 2023, the Minister of Health Regulation on Medical Consent, and provisions on medical records. This paper examines the essential role of informed consent as a protective instrument for both patients and healthcare providers within the clinical and legal framework. Informed consent guarantees patients’ rights to information, autonomy, and decision-making, while providing legal safeguards for medical practitioners by documenting the process of explanation, acceptance, or refusal of medical treatment. Proper documentation within medical records ensures accountability, continuity of care, and serves as crucial evidence when medical disputes arise. Medical disputes often stem from dissatisfaction, communication gaps, or misunderstandings about risks inherent in medical procedures. Therefore, informed consent functions not merely as an administrative requirement but as a mechanism for preventing conflict, clarifying responsibilities, and distinguishing unavoidable medical risks from professional negligence. By strengthening the implementation of informed consent, healthcare providers can enhance transparency, improve service quality, and reduce the likelihood of medical litigation.  

This study aims to analyze the application of the doctrine of vicarious liability in the liability of hospitals for medical malpractice lawsuits in Indonesia. The increasing number of medical disputes raises questions regarding the extent to which hospitals can be held responsible for the negligence of medical personnel working under their authority. This research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches, by examining the Indonesian Civil Code, Law No. 44 of 2009 on Hospitals, Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health, and relevant court decisions. The findings reveal that, normatively, hospitals can be held accountable under Article 1367 of the Civil Code, which aligns with the doctrine of vicarious liability (Black, 2019). However, judicial practice in Indonesia remains inconsistent: in some cases judges place liability on hospitals, while in others they hold individual doctors fully responsible (Budiman, Absori & Rizka, 2023; Vitrianingsih, Miarsa & Yahya, 2025). This inconsistency demonstrates a gap between normative regulation and juridical implementation. The novelty of this study lies in emphasizing the importance of the principle of justice in applying vicarious liability. Legal protection should not be limited to written norms but must also be substantive by balancing patients’ rights to safe and quality healthcare with the rights of medical personnel and hospitals to legal certainty. This is in line with Rawls’ (1971) concept of justice as fairness and Radbruch’s (2006) idea of balancing justice, legal certainty, and expediency.

Hospitals, as healthcare institutions, bear the responsibility of delivering safe, high-quality, and patient-centered services. Hospital accreditation serves as a crucial mechanism to ensure service quality and legal protection for patients, particularly in medical dispute cases. This study aims to analyze the impact of accreditation on patient legal protection, both preventively and repressively. The research employs a normative legal method with statutory and conceptual approaches, utilizing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data were analyzed through document studies covering Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, government regulations, presidential regulations, and technical regulations from the Ministry of Health regarding accreditation standards and procedures. The findings indicate that accreditation functions as a continuous evaluation mechanism to ensure medical services comply with safety standards and clinical governance, strengthens patients’ rights to information, informed consent, and quality care, and reduces the risk of medical disputes. However, implementation challenges exist, including limited resources, compliance performed as formalities, and inconsistent supervision. Therefore, accreditation is not merely an administrative symbol but a strategic legal instrument that enhances patient safety culture and hospital accountability, ensuring that healthcare delivery meets professional, ethical, and legal standards.

In general, attacks on hospitals are prohibited under international humanitarian law (IHL), which aims to protect the life and health of civilians during armed conflicts. However, in certain circumstances, hospitals may lose their protection and thus become legitimate targets in warfare if they are considered to be involved in military activities or supporting the parties to the conflict. This brings into question the application of the principle of proportionality, which is an essential element of IHL. The principle of proportionality seeks to balance military necessity with the protection of civilians, requiring that the harm caused by military operations should not be disproportionate to the military advantage sought. This principle demands that military operations be conducted carefully to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects, including hospitals. However, its application raises significant ethical questions regarding the moral justification of such actions, especially when hospitals are targeted in attacks. One prominent example that raises ethical concerns about this justification is the destruction of Al-Shifa Hospital in Northern Gaza. The hospital was destroyed in an airstrike during the conflict, causing severe harm to the civilian population that relied on this facility. While the principle of proportionality is designed to limit damage, attacks on hospitals such as Al-Shifa raise questions about whether the actions taken were truly consistent with this principle, particularly when the military gain achieved does not seem to outweigh the damage caused to human life and vital infrastructure. This article aims to explore the conventional moral justification of the principle of proportionality in international humanitarian law and evaluate its application in the case of Al-Shifa Hospital, challenging the boundaries of the principle in practice.

Hospitals as organizations that serve the interests of many people also need to carry out marketing to improve the quality of service and also the company's image in the community, so that hospital public relations need to work optimally using available media, one of which is social media to market their service products.

The nursing education process was implemented through clinical practice in hospitals. However, the heavy workload of nurses and clinical instructors often hindered the optimal provision of guidance to students. Therefore, efforts were necessary to enhance the competencies of nursing educators and clinical instructors. The development of these competencies required support from both formal and non-formal education. One form of non-formal education was the implementation of preceptorship and mentorship training programs. These programs were expected to strengthen the quality of student guidance in clinical settings. The methods employed included lectures, role-playing, and hands-on application in inpatient care units. The training outcomes indicated a significant improvement in the clinical instructors’ ability to effectively carry out preceptorship and mentorship roles.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan Evaluasi Pemanfaatan Jampersal di Kota Prabumulih Tahun 2020. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama tiga bulan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data dilakukan dengan cara penyajian data, reduksi data, dan pengumpulan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fokus utama program ini adalah memberikan pelayanan ekstra dan jaminan khusus bagi ibu dan bayi sejak hamil sampai setelah melahirkan, adalah untuk menyelamatkan nyawa manusia, menghindari kematian ibu dan anak serta membantu kesehatan dalam artian memastikan dalam kondisi baik dan aman. Pemanfaatan Jampersal kurang diminati oleh masyarakat, hal ini dikarenakan adanya pola pikir dari masyarakat bahwa program pemerintah tidak memberikan pelayanan yang bermutu seperti yang diluar program pemerintah atau secara umum baik di rumah sakit maupun di tempat praktik bidan atau rumah bersalin. Program Jampersal merupakan salah satu terobosan dan solusi dari pemerintah bagi masyarakat kurang mampu, meskipun kondisi pelayanannya belum sesuai dengan yang diharapkan, artinya program dari pemerintah tanpa biaya ini jangan sampai kualitasnya jelek dan tidak layak, karena tentu saja hal tersebut bertentangan dengan keadilan sosial. Kendala dalam pelaksanaan kebijakan program Jampersal terletak pada sarana dan prasarana sekolah yang masih belum dapat dipenuhi oleh Pemerintah melalui Dinas Kesehatan dalam rangka memberikan pelayanan bagi ibu hamil. Faktor pendukung. Kualitas dan adanya sumpah profesi dan kemanusiaan membuat tenaga medis memberikan pelayanan yang prima dan ekstra kepada masyarakat, khususnya kepada ibu yang akan melahirkan. Sedangkan faktor penghambat. Belum semua sarana yang dimiliki oleh Puskesmas di Kota Prabumulih memenuhi syarat dan kriteria yang cukup untuk mendorong terlaksananya program Jampersal, sehingga kedepannya harus banyak dilakukan pembenahan.

Malpractice is basically an action by professional staff that is contrary to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), professional code of ethics, and applicable laws, whether intentional or due to negligence. This negligence is not a violation of the law, if the negligence does not cause harm to other people and that person can feel comfortable. However, if this negligence results in material loss, harm or even takes the life of another person, then this can be said to be malpractice. Malpractice in the field of orthopedics is an act of negligence committed by doctors or health service workers who are tasked with carrying out all kinds of surgical procedures, especially bone surgery. Where in this case the patient who initially only experienced problems with his bones ultimately had to hamper his breathing for the last time just because of an error in administering gas after surgery.

These people are also not allowed to transfer this information to other people. The implementation of Electronic Medical Records in Health Facilities is carried out by a separate work unit or adjusted to the needs and capabilities of each Health Fascily. In terms of the scale of health services, health facilities are very different from hospitals, especially those in remote areas. In fact, not all hospitals are ready to implement a medical history recording system, the total use of telemedicine applications which has increased up to six times during the 2022 COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.    

Hospitals as a health facility have become an important part of public health. Facing globalization, hospitals must carry out marketing activities which can be influenced by several factors, including: IT and communications have brought us into a free market era where location and distance are no longer a problem and it is increasingly easy for the public to access information to determine which hospital a patient will seek treatment at.
