Optimalisasi Manajemen dan Visualisasi Data Klinik Gigi melalui Aplikasi SMILIS (Smart Dental Information System)

Abstract

Many small to medium-sized dental clinics in Indonesia still rely on manual or semi-digital record-keeping systems that are unstructured, making them prone to input errors, data duplication, and difficult service evaluation processes. This condition directly affects the effectiveness of management and the quality of clinic services. This study aims to design and develop SMILIS (Smart Dental Information System), an application based on Microsoft Excel that supports systematic dental clinic data recording and presents service information through interactive dashboards. The research uses a System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach, with simulated (dummy) data created by the researcher as test input. The application features include patient data entry, medical records, financial transactions, and inventory management, supported by variable automation, basic input validation, and thematic visualizations in the form of bar charts, pie charts, key performance indicators, and an interactive calendar. The implementation results show that SMILIS is capable of building relational data connectivity, simplifying data recapitulation, and presenting visual information that is easily understood by non-technical users. With its ease of use and system flexibility, SMILIS serves as a practical and affordable digital transition solution for dental clinics lacking integrated information systems, while also preparing them for a future shift toward data and technology-driven healthcare services.
