Head of the DKI Jakarta Health Office, Ani Ruspitawati, said that all regional public hospitals (RSUD) have begun to adjust the number of beds per inpatient room according to the Standard Inpatient Class (KRIS) system.

In implementing the KRIS system, government-owned hospitals are required to provide KRIS beds at least 60 percent of the existing treatment room capacity. Meanwhile, private hospitals are required at least 40 percent.

"We are 60 percent ready from the number of beds, it has been adjusted to standard hospitalization classes or KRIS," said Ani at Cengkareng Hospital, West Jakarta, Friday, June 21.

Ani said the hospital in Jakarta would immediately rearrange the number of beds when the KRIS system was implemented in July 2025.

If guided by KRIS, the number of beds in one room is only 4 with a distance between edges of only 1.5 meters. Thus, the KRIS system will later remove class 1, 2, and 3 systems from BPJS Health participants.

"We'll just have to wait for the realization from BPJS," said Ani.

For information, President Joko Widodo issued Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 59 of 2024 concerning National Health Insurance (JKN). The Presidential Regulation mandates that the health services of BPJS Health participants apply to KRIS.

The purpose of this Perpres is to ensure that the public as BPJS Kesehatan participants get the same treatment as a substitute for class 1, 2, and 3 systems.

"Through this Presidential Decree, later a maximum of 4 beds will be in one treatment room and there will be a bathroom in each room," said Health Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Syahril, some time ago.

Presidential Decree 59/2024 has also mandated the relevant ministries and institutions to evaluate and the results of the evaluation will serve as a reference for determining benefits, tariffs, and fees. Thus, the results of the evaluation in the form of a new decree will be applied no later than July 1, 2025.

Currently, some hospitals are in the process of implementing KRIS. Of the 3,176 hospitals nationally, there are 3,060 that will implement KRIS. As of April 30, 2,558 hospitals are ready to implement KRIS based on the survey results of 12 criteria for KRIS

"So, government and private hospitals continue to provide services for BPJS Health participants and non-BPJS Health," explained Syahril.
