Empowering Primary Healthcare Providers through Digital Literacy Workshop in Denpasar
Following the completion of the digital literacy strengthening module for primary healthcare providers, a workshop was held on June 13-14, 2025, aimed at enhancing digital health capabilities among primary healthcare services (Puskesmas) and the Denpasar City Health Department in Bali. The participants included Puskesmas doctors, health promotion staff, surveillance staff, and health cadres representing each Puskesmas.
This workshop was officially registered with the Ministry of Health’s Learning Management System (LMS) in collaboration with the Balai Pelatihan Kesehatan Masyarakat (Bapelkesmas) in Bali, under the leadership of Dr. Bdn. Ni Made Parwati, SST., SKM., M.Kes, an alumna of the MPH program.
The organizing team for the workshop included key figures from the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program at Udayana University, led by Dr. dr. Anak Agung Sagung Sawitri, MPH, the Program Director, along with alumni Pande Putu Rissa Cempaka, SKM, M.Kes, and student Jana Darmika, SKM. Junior faculty members from the Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine—including Dr. Ni Luh Putu Ariastuti, MPH, Dr. Putu Cintya Denny Yuliyatni, MPH, and Dr. Dwi Ariawan, M.Kes—contributed to the workshop, as well as to the monitoring and evaluation process. Dr. I Nyoman Sutarsa, MPH, PhD and Matthew Kelly represented ANU in the project.
The workshop began with an opening session led by the program coordinator, followed by an introduction to the LMS platform by the Bapelkesmas team. Participants then completed a pre-test as part of the session's assessment. The workshop was divided into five sessions, each starting with presentations on topics such as Digital Health in Primary Care, Health Information Management, Data Management and Presentation, Digital Health Content Development, and Media Engagement and Management. After each session, participants engaged in hands-on group exercises, facilitated by expert mentors.
Over the course of the two-day workshop, participants found the content and assignments to be particularly practical and directly applicable to their roles at Puskesmas. The materials provided were tailored to the specific responsibilities of health cadres, health promotion staff, surveillance officers, and even Puskesmas doctors, which contributed to a strong sense of relevance and practical value. Feedback highlighted how this approach opened the door for the program to have a wider regional impact, especially beyond Denpasar.
