Vol.3, No.1B

Abstract

It is widely recognized that technological advancements play a crucial role in our daily lives. The Health Care Center's mission is to provide comprehensive, culturally sensitive, high-quality primary health care to vulnerable individuals and families, including the homeless, agricultural workers, public housing residents, and veterans. Unfortunately, the current method of patient record-keeping, which involves using pencil and paper, is inadequate. Therefore, this study aims to improve the functioning of the health centre. The Health Care Center is a vital resource for those needing medical assistance who may not have the financial means to visit a hospital. This study utilized qualitative survey research to investigate whether respondents agree with specific statements. The researchers analyzed the findings and provided recommendations to enhance the operation process of the barangay health centre in Bagong Silang, Caloocan City. The primary challenge faced by barangay health centres and the researchers' recommendations are discussed. Microsoft Excel is suggested for filling records, as it provides easy access to files. While simple record-keeping can be effective, it is often not the most efficient system and is often inherited without question. It is crucial to provide the best possible care for patients by capturing, saving, and accessing important information precisely when needed. Backup records are also essential, especially in a chaotic filing system.
