ABSTRACT
Efficiency is an indicator that underlies the performance of all hospitals. The efficiency of hospital service management requires indicators used to calculate health statistics, including BOR (Bed Occupation Rate), AvLOS (Average Length Of Stay), TOI (Turn Over Interval), and BTO (Bed Turn Over). The four indicators, namely BOR, AvLOS, TOI, and BTO, can be depicted in a chart known as the Barber Johnson Chart. The purpose of this study is to dig deeper and find out in depth about the efficiency level of bed use based on the Barber Johnson Chart indicators at Hospital X Bandung City during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study uses descriptive qualitative analysis methods, data collection methods using observations and interviews. The population in this study is the daily inpatient census data on Covid-19 patients at Hospital X Bandung City in 2021 and the sample of this study is the third quarter of July, August and September 2021 at Hospital X Bandung City. Based on the results of the research in the third quarter, the four parameters meeting were outside the efficiency area, which means that the health statistical indicators based on the Barber Johnson Chart at Hospital X Bandung City are still not efficient. © 2022, ResearchTrentz Academy Publishing Education Services.

ABSTRACT
The efficiency of hospital management can be broadly seen from two aspects, namely, from a medical perspective, looking at efficiency from the point of view of the quality of medical services, and from an economic perspective, looking at efficiency from the point of view of the utilization of existing facilities. Efficiency is an indicator that underlies the performance of all hospitals. To determine the efficiency of hospital service management, it is necessary to calculate the four parameters of the Barber Johnson Graph, namely BOR, AvLOS, TOI and BTO. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of bed use based on the Barber Johnson indicator in the Covid-19 pandemic era at Sekarwangi Hospital, Sukabumi Regency in 2021. This study used descriptive qualitative analysis methods, data collection methods using observations and interviews. The population in this study is the daily inpatient census at the Sekarwangi Hospital in 2021 and the sample of this study is the first quarter of January, February, March 2021 at the Sekarwangi Hospital. Based on the research, in the first quarter of the meeting, the four parameters are outside the efficiency area set by the, which means that the system running at RSUD Sekarwangi is still not efficient. © 2022, ResearchTrentz Academy Publishing Education Services.

ABSTRACT
Given the importance of disinfecting showerheads from Legionella species and the lack of instructions as to how to successfully achieve this, the aim of this study was to examine the ability of domestic steam disinfection to successfully disinfect showerheads from Legionella species. Steam disinfection of Legionella pneumophila [n=3; L. pneumophila serogroup 2-15 (wildtype environmental water isolate); L. pneumophila serogroup 1 NCTC11192 (reference strain); L. pneumophila serogroup 1 (wildtype environmental water isolate)], L. erythra (wildtype environmental water isolate) and L. bozemanii CRM11368M (reference strain) were examined in this study. Steam disinfection employing a baby bottle steam disinfector device eradicated all Legionella organisms tested. Steam disinfection, when performed properly under the manufacturer's instructions, offers a relatively inexpensive, simple, versatile and widely available technology for the elimination of Legionella species from contaminated showerheads. We therefore advocate the employment of such devices to regularly disinfect showerheads and shower tubing in hairdressing salons, barber shops and gyms, as a critical control in the elimination of these organisms from these sources, thereby enhancing customer/client/staff safety.
