    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - Mid La Union Campus, 2024-12) Estalilla, Jemyrdave P.; Meneses, Alexandra Arianne Y.; Malicdem, Alvin R.; Estira, Marydel C.; Pimentel, Emmalou B.; Runas, Marlon C.
    This study focused on developing a health data visualization system for the province of La Union to transform raw health records into interactive visual formats, including heatmaps and graphs. By concentrating on the top five diseases, the system enabled stakeholders to identify trends, demographic impacts, and geographic hotspots. The research utilized descriptive and applied methodologies to determine key performance indicators, design user-friendly interfaces, and evaluate the system's usability through the System Usability Scale (SUS), which yielded an "Excellent" rating. Through Extreme Programming, the system addressed critical gaps in health data interpretation by providing accessible, actionable insights for public health officials, healthcare providers, and the community. The visualization system fostered better decision-making, enhanced health awareness, and supported targeted interventions.

    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2020) Runas, Marlon C.
    The study sought to formulate a performance management program that can enhance the delivery of health care services of La Union District Hospitals . The descriptive survey was utilized to determine the profile of the district hospitals , level of awareness on quality objectives, policy and service, level of implementation of functions and responsibilities of personnel, extent of compliance to the regulatory and statutory requirements, level of clients satisfaction, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and degree of seriousness of the problems encountered by the hospital personnel. Result shows shows that hospital personnel are aware of the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System. Hospitals have basic facilities that are required of a level 1 hospital; however, problems on upgrading , maintenance and permanent positions together with accompanying trainings to oversee the operations and upkeep are not available. Lack of funding support was perceived as a moderately serious problem while clients had a very high satisfaction on the provision of quality health care services. There is a need of a program to make improvements in the performance of employees and hospitals with the implementation of the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and attain high level of performance of the District Hospitals in the province of La Union in the delivery of quality healthcare services.
