The MRMIK standardin accreditation
MRMIK — Medical Records and Health Information Management — is one of the working groups (Pokja) in STARKES, the accreditation standard surveyed by designated accreditation bodies such as KARS. Here is what it focuses on, and how a good system supports readiness (without replacing the hospital's own process).
Definition
Medical Records & Health Information Management.
MRMIK is one of the working groups in the Indonesian Hospital Accreditation Standard (STARKES) set by the Health Ministry. Surveys are carried out by accreditation bodies designated by the Minister (Decree HK.01.07/MENKES/321/2026) — KARS is one of them, not the only one. Its focus: the hospital establishes information-management processes to meet both internal and external needs, and manages information throughout the patient's course of care securely and effectively.
Its scope covers document management, patient medical records, and health information technology/management — requiring well-organized policies, security, retention, and information availability.
System support
Technical controls that make it easier
The system does not replace the accreditation process — but the following technical controls make meeting MRMIK elements far lighter.
[02]
Security & confidentiality
Access control (RBAC), encryption of sensitive data, and audit trails over medical-record operations — supporting secure data management.
[03]
Retention & traceability
Retention policies with auto-flag and hash-chain audit trails — supporting document traceability and meeting retention periods.
[04]
Information availability
Data can be retrieved and made available for both internal and external needs (e.g. reporting, interoperability) — supporting effective information management.
Honest limit: MRMIK accreditation is assessed on the hospital's processes, policies, and documentation evidence — software supports, it does not replace. See also data security & the PDP Law and EMR Permenkes 24/2022.
FAQ
Questions about MRMIK.
MRMIK stands for Manajemen Rekam Medis dan Informasi Kesehatan (Medical Records and Health Information Management) — one of the working groups (Pokja) in the Indonesian Hospital Accreditation Standard (STARKES) set by the Health Ministry. Surveys are carried out by accreditation bodies designated by the Minister (Decree HK.01.07/MENKES/321/2026) — KARS is one of them. Its focus: the hospital establishes information-management processes to meet internal and external needs, and manages patient data securely and effectively.
Broadly, it covers document management, patient medical records, and health information technology/management. It calls for well-organized policies, procedures, security, retention, and information availability.
No, and we are honest about this. MRMIK accreditation is assessed on the hospital’s processes, policies, and documentation evidence — not on software alone. A good system provides the technical controls (structured EMR, audit trails, security, retention) that support meeting the standard, but accreditation readiness remains the hospital’s own work.
Through structured EMR, access control & encryption, tamper-evident audit trails, and retention policies — technical controls that make it easier for a hospital to meet MRMIK elements. Some controls are already fully in production, others are still being matured; we state this as it is.
