The Role of Health Information Systems to Support Tourism in Badung Regency, Bali

Abstract

The importance of health in human life cannot be underestimated. Health helps people develop economically, socially, and culturally if it is prioritized. Understanding the importance of health must be prepared as early as possible. In this case, health promotion and prevention stages are requirements that must be implemented. The availability of health information is one of the promotional and preventive actions that the government may use in order to anticipate negative consequences that may arise as a result of a lack of information about diseases and health issues. Bali, as a tourism destination that attracts people from all walks of life, from different endemic areas, and different rate of vaccinations, requires filtration in order to welcome future visitors. In light of the spread of various diseases in Bali, the government should adopt promotive and preventive stages in addition to the curative and rehabilitative ones, one of which is the development of tourism health information systems. Health information systems, including both the availability of health services and disease-related information, require attention to avoid negative things from happening, which might lead to the need for curative and rehabilitative actions, which, of course, involve substantial energy, time, and money.
