facilities, both within and outside the Bantaeng Regency, can become a rival and a
threat to RGH of Prof. dr. H.M. Anwar Makkatutu, especially hospitals with PPK-
BLUD status. The data shows the increase in two hospitals within the scope of
Bantaeng Regency, a private hospital, namely a maternal and child hospital and an
government hospital unit of type D. The growth of specialist clinics which until now
has seven units and the existence of an integrated nutrition service unit.
The change in the Social Security Administrator tiered referral system policy
which was implemented as an adjustment to the change in hospital type from type C
to type B hospitals, and with the corona virus disease 19 pandemic, has caused a
decrease in patient visits by 22.13% in 2020. The decline in visits will have an impact
on decrease in hospital income, and affect the hospital's ability to finance its
operations. The level of hospital independence in 2020 is only 44%, which means that
the hospital's ability to finance capital expenditures/assets is still 44%, thus requiring
other sources of income, to increase capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to adapt and
innovate services according to customer needs and changes in the hospital
environment. Organizational transformation of RGH. Prof.dr. H.M. Anwar Makkatutu
has not shown a significant increase in performance. This can be seen from the
achievement indicators of a number of performance indicators. Ideally, hospitals
should be able to transform by adapting to the needs and changes in their
environment. Achievement of sub-optimal performance can occur if they have an
unequal understanding of the direction of organizational change, or a number of parties
do not accept change, and do not learn to make change happen. It is suspected that
the transformation steps were not carried out effectively and efficiently.
This study aims to describe the implementation of organizational
transformation, identify of determinant factors and describe the hospital
organizational transformation strategy at RGH of Prof.dr. H.M. Anwar Makkatutu.

the status of the Technical Implementation Unit of the Bantaeng District Health
Office. Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia number
1284/MENKES/XII/2004 dated December 17, 2004 concerning Class Improvement
of Regional General Hospital of Prof.dr. Anwar Makkatutu became a class C hospital.
Changes in hospital structure based on Government Regulation number 41 of 2007
concerning Regional Apparatus Organizations. Furthermore, based on Government
Regulation Number 72 of 2019 concerning Regional Apparatus, and based on the
Decree of the Governor of South Sulawesi number 5/J.09/PTSP/2020 concerning
the Operational Permit of the RGH of Prof. dr. H.M. Anwar Makkatutu Bantaeng as
a class B hospital. In addition to the change in the hospital class, there was a
change in financial management, namely becoming a hospital that implements the
pattern of financial management of regional public service agencies based on the
results of the 2013 assessment with half and then in 2016 set with full.
RGH of Prof dr. H.M. Anwar Makkatutu Bantaeng has undergone a number
of transformations, both changes in organizational structure, culture, business
strategy, infrastructure, competence and number of people. This is in accordance
with Walton (2000) in Kadjatmiko (2003) that organizational transformation is
organizational change from current conditions to expected conditions. The
transformation involves elements of organizational structure, organizational
culture, business strategy, infrastructure, competencies and people. Meanwhile,
the theory of Generic Process Transformation Model according to Hernaus (2008)
is transformation with a focus on process changes in organizations. This model has
3 (three) stages, namely: (1) a strategic phase where the organization realizes the
importance of change for the progress of the organization; (2) the transitional
phase, namely the transition phase of the organization to make changes; (3) the
operative phase, namely making changes based on the processes implemented in
the organization.
In the implementation of organizational transformation at RGH of
Prof.dr.H.M. Anwar Makkatutu, what was done was as follows
a. Identify of problems, possible solutions by analyzing strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats.
b. Convey the importance of changing hospital classes, or changing financial
management. Class changes will change the organizational structure and
become an opportunity for employees to occupy structural positions and
increase the quantity and quality of services as well as the flexibility of
financial management. Information is conveyed predominantly through
meetings and morning apples.
c. Forming a working group or team with a director's decision letter consisting of
management or structural elements and to prepare documents to meet the
requirements of the intended change and guard it until it is determined.
d. The vision of the hospital was changed according to the dream the hospital wanted to
achieve as a prima donna hospital in the southern region of South Sulawesi.
Likewise, changing the mission to adapt to the changing vision of the hospital.
1951

e. Changes in vision and mission are socialized through meetings, morning apples,
posters in every installation within the hospital area. The mission change
only involved a small team, did not involve all installation units. The
weakness is that the hospital does not have a regular meeting schedule,
both weekly and monthly. Meetings are only held if there are urgent and or
emergency interests.
f. Furthermore, according to the 2012 version of the accreditation standard, every
household employee is required to know and memorize the vision and
mission, including cleaning service and security. Leaders encourage the
achievement of the vision with the support of resources.
g. Hospitals have annual and five-year plans through the hospital's strategic plan or
strategic business plan. Annual and five-year performance indicators are
included in the document.
h. The leadership together with officials and heads installations conducts evaluation
meetings every 6 months to assess the achievement of the coverage of
service quality indicators and hospital performance indicators, synergistic
with the preparation of budget changes. Each section and installation is
given the opportunity to convey the problems faced (gaps between reality
and standards), possible solutions. the leadership determines solutions and
steps for acceleration and improvement to increase the achievement of
these indicators. Furthermore, the planning section compiles a change
document to accommodate programs and activities.
i. In the evaluation meeting, new steps or approaches which are considered to have
had a successful impact on the achievement of indicators, are stipulated in
the director's policy regulations, guidelines and standard operating
procedures are made in the hope that they will form a culture. Furthermore,
it will be part of the main tasks and functions of the related sections and
installation. Thus the urge becomes strong and can be grounded in the
hospital. This is in line with hospital accreditation.
j. Hospitals transformation through collaboration and partner with non-government
external parties to oversee and help achieve higher hospital performance
and quality indicators. Collaborating with legal aid institutions, namely legal
aid agency Suardi and Partners and the non-governmental organization
Balang Institute.
The hospital realizes the importance of transforming in order to achieve its
vision and mission and adapt to the demands of society. The transformation steps
carried out by the hospital still refer to the 8 steps of organizational transformation
(Kotter, 2011), with the addition of two aspects so that it becomes 10 steps,
namely identifying problems and collaborating or partnering with external parties.
non-government. This is intended to make the transformation step more effective
and efficient. This is supported by research. According to Zhenxiang (2014) a SWOT
analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) is needed in hospital
transformation, strengths related to marketing systems and facilities as well as

and the division of activities is getting more diverse horizontally, and getting simpler
vertically, professionalism is getting higher with increasing master's education,
specialist and sub specialists and configuration of activity divisions by director's decree.
Changes in the contextual dimension, where the number of personal hospital
employees was 215 people in 2007 (112 civil servants and 112 non civil servants,
balanced position) and in 2021 there were 658 people (245 civil servants or 37.39%
and 412 non civil servants or 62.61%). Agility and speed of work are higher for non-
civil servants and those with information technology skills. The medical technology
owned by this hospital is in accordance with the standards of a class B hospital, with
excellent services for heart care, eye care, and several service innovations. This is in
accordance with what was conveyed by Lubis (2015), that organizational
transformation will cause changes in structural and contextual dimensions.

The impact of changes in the form of additional services, illustrated that the
transformation journey has increased the quantity of services in hospitals. Since
class D until 2004, the hospital has 19 types of services. At the time of class C, it
had 20 types of services. Class C with changes based on Government Regulation
of the Republic of Indonesia Number 41 of 2007 to 2016, 38 types of services.
Class C with the implements the pattern of financial management of regional public
service agencies until 2021, has 56 types of services and since becoming class B
until 2022 it has had 59 types of services. The innovation services that have been
born in hospitals include:
a. Lotus continues to develop is a physiotherapy service for children with
special needs and integrated growth and development for all, namely integrated
integrated services between health centers, special schools, pediatrician services,
nutrition specialists and physiotherapy. This service started in 2019
b. Pandora Gesit is an integrated blood donor service, which is an external
blood donor activity in hospitals by actively involving regional government
agencies, central, professional organizations, community organizations, schools
and mosques to meet blood needs in the health services of RGH Prof.dr.H.M. Anwar
Makkatutu and the house. neighboring district hospitals (Jeneponto and Bulukumba
district). Innovation born since 2017
c. Raja Smile's innovation, which was born in 2019, is an outpatient service
with an excellent service information system, namely an online registration service
using an application with the name SI PANDAI application. It has been developed
with the addition of priority services (elderly and the child with special
needed/disabled, patient escort services and drug couriers to patients' homes.
These services are contested in national innovation competitions and have won the
top 45.
d. The innovations that have been born by each candidates for civil servants
starting from acceptance in 2019 are through the candidates for civil servants basic
training actualization program. The innovation from the basic training actualization
program is a simple innovation that was born as an adaptation and solution to the
problems faced by the unit/installation, so that innovation still exists today.
According to Basabih (2017), the establishment of a hospital as a unit that
implements the Financial Management Pattern of the Regional Public Service
Agency is one form of hospital transformation. The purpose of the hospital
implementing this is to improve services, and accelerate the response to customer
needs because they get convenience in financial management. flexibility in financial
management, is expected to stimulate growth and at the same time fulfill resources
for developed innovations.
The existence of service innovation as a form of adaptation to suit the
demands and needs of the community, as stated by Sisca et al., (2021) the
products produced by the transformation will be in accordance with customer
needs. Synergistic with this opinion, there are experts who state that the dynamics
of change will give birth to ideas for improvement (Akib, 2011), organizations are
1956
BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS ISSN 2029-0454
VOLUME 15, NUMBER 2 2022
more adaptive, and proactive in dealing with change and reducing reactive behavior
(Kotter, 2011), to achieve goals effectively and efficiently (Budihardjo, 2011),
behavior change and organizational performance improvement (Schneider and
Betty in Ritonga, Manurung, and Tan, 2019), improve bureaucratic performance
(Martini et al., 2019), and the resulting product will be in accordance with customer
needs (Sisca et al., 2021).
There are 8 main factors that influence cultural transformation in RGH
Prof.dr.H.M. Anwar Makkatutu are: 1) the breadth of health information and other
information with increasingly open information technology, 2) increasing the
quantity of learning through education and training, especially health functional
positions, 3) integrated improvement activities through hospital accreditation
activities 4) inspiring transformational leadership and provide obedience, 5) justice
in the distribution of services, 6). the factor of fear and wanting to be safe from
danger or epidemics, so adapting and the birth of a new culture, for example the
fear of being infected with the corona virus, so that a new culture is born, for
example the culture of keeping a distance, using personal protective equipment
(masks, handscoons, face shields, hazmat clothes) , boots) and avoiding crowds.
Furthermore, washing hands in five conditions, namely before touching the patient,
before carrying out aseptic procedures, after being contaminated with the patient's
body fluids, after touching the patient and after touching the patient's
environmental area. Furthermore, 7) choosy nature (like being picky) and likes to
demand from patients or patients' families and 8) regulatory changes, including
from the guarantor, for example Social Security Administrator.
On the other hand, there are 11 (eleven) things that hinder the change in
the culture of innovation, namely 1). experience is treated unfairly, 2). the local
culture of “ siri’sipakatau” or culture of shame and respect is thinning, 3) not being
invited to participate, 4) not wanting to be busy outside the main tasks and
functions and feeling safe in the comfort zone, 5) having a monopoly on certain
parts or units 6). the unit in charge is closed, 7) the principle is about to retire, 8)
support is not available in full, 9) The explanation is not given in full, open and
clear, 10) Rewards are given unfairly and 11) the distribution of service fees for
employees has not been fair. The pattern of distribution of services has not used a
remuneration system, so that still 35% of employees receive income less than the
regional minimum wage. The Yamali study (2018) found evidence that there is a
significant positive relationship between compensation and organizational culture
Efforts made by the management or elements of the leadership of the
hospital in anticipating the rejection of transformation are: (1) providing
information, socializing and convincing the importance of change, (2) directing, (3)
team approach, (4) inviting and providing support, (5) increasing creativity and
innovation, (6) open communication, (7) comparative study. Efforts to anticipate
the rejection of transformation according to Sutrisno (2018) are: (1) providing
information, socializing and convincing, (2) inspiring, (3) directing, (4) individual
approach, (5) providing support, (6) preparing and develop individual abilities, (7)
1957

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 2 2022
increase creativity and innovation, (8) let individuals choose attitudes, (9)
negotiation, (10) team approach, (11) provide concrete examples/results, (12)
develop a design and organizational climate that conducive and (13) coercion.
According to Kurniawan & Maarif (2017) in the transformation at the
unfreezing stage, there is an element of determining the reasons as the basis for
the transformation and the process of the transformation resulting in changes in
goals, culture, technology improvements, organizational structure improvements
and an increase in the volume of activities. As also found in the research of Buvat
et al. (2017) that some of the inhibiting factors for transformation include a culture
that is difficult to change, lack of employee digital skills, small change initiatives
because employees are not empowered, not compensated for learning and there
are no incentives. According to Santiago, Baro, and Anna (2019), there are 3
(three) factors that influence transformation, namely digitalization, sustainable
evolution and humanization.
According to Anderson et al. (2014) stated that organizations with creativity
(idea generation) and innovation (idea implementation) will guarantee greater
depth in future inventions. According to Ferbriaty et al., (2020) states that the
challenges of global expansion, domestic and international competition, cultural
shifts and behavior control, challenges of creating quality products and services,
demands to be more creative, dare to take risks, able to work in increasing
demands and pressures. to improve performance in order to exist, be able to
compete and realize competitive advantage.
2. Determinant Factors of Transformation
a. Hospital organizational culture
There is a culture contained in the hospital strategic plan, namely 1)
honesty, 2) hard work, 3) humility, 4) willingness to serve patiently, sincere,
empathetic and sincere, 5) competent, 6) rational, 7) commitment and 8)
tolerance. Meanwhile, from the interview, it was found that what had an effect on
the transformation in the hospital were 1) hard work, 2) mutual assistance and
mutual assistance even though it later became thin, 3) honesty 4) Mutual respect,
along with changes then became thin 5) open and friendly communication , 6)
learning culture and 7) use of information technology.
In Zhenxiang's research (2014), the function of hospital culture, (1) The
function of cohesion and stability, namely core values are widely recognized and
the stronger the belief in accepting core values, the stronger the hospital culture
and the greater its influence on behavior; (2) The function of motivation and
restraint is to restrain the behavior of every employee and to encourage civilization
to advance and the formation and development of a new healthy and orderly
environment in the hospital; (3) The guiding and shaping function is that a good
hospital culture will guide employees to voluntarily comply with the principles of
serving the community wholeheartedly, fulfilling responsibilities and working with
integrity and being able to solve problems at work. Companies that are in a period
of transformation, various foreign cultures, traditional corporate cultures and
1958
BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS ISSN 2029-0454

modern cultures will intertwine, collide and clash with each other. Then there is
cultural integration, namely the process by which different cultures adapt and
coordinate with each other, and then cultural innovation is carried out by selecting
and integrating appropriate cultural elements to form a new culture. Furthermore,
the need for cultural reconstruction in the transformation of culture in hospitals.
The birth of a number of service innovations as an effort to promote a culture of
innovation is an effort to improve service quality. Synergistic with Hill (2017), in
the digital era, companies must be able to innovate faster than competitors and to
encourage rapid innovation, leaders build a culture of creativity. Confidence at
every level from new hires, to an active role-modeling culture that encourages risk
taking and discovery. Companies that avoid risk will be too slow to innovate.
According to Wisnu (2019), organizational culture can be developed, regulated, and
changed through organizational design. Organizations need structures and cultures
that accelerate adaptation and respond quickly to changing environmental
conditions and need flexibility to accelerate decision-making and discovery of new
goods and services. Meanwhile, according to Thyagaraju (2018), no organization
can develop without having a strong organizational culture
b. Transformative Leadership
In the aspect of transformative leadership in the transformation of hospital
organizations, it was found that leadership that was successful in bringing about
transformation was leadership that had the characteristics of 1) having hospital
knowledge skills 2) tiered disciplinary control 3) having speed of execution of
strategies 4) paying attention to employee welfare, 5) empowering staff 6)
developing staff potential, 7) encouraging organizational learning, 8) conflict
resolution management, 9) encouraging cultural and structural change, 10)
encouraging the growth of innovation, 11) open and friendly communication and
12) establishing and encouraging cooperative partnerships.
In this study, organizational culture and leadership have a major influence
in transformation. The fulfillment of the number of human resources, capital
adequacy and structure will not optimally deliver transformation without soft
elements including positive culture in hospitals and leadership. This is still in
accordance with the theory proposed by Ritonga et al. (2019) that the influential
elements in organizational transformation are hard factors, namely structure,
number of human resources, and capital adequacy, while soft factors are
organizational culture, communication, leadership and team work. Meanwhile,
according to Saxena and Prasad (2020), there is a relationship between leadership
ethics and an innovative work culture. Innovative work behavior forms a
competitive advantage. Ethical leadership at individual and collective levels has a
positive impact on an innovative work culture. Synergy with Parashakti, Rizki, &
Saragih (2016) in their research states that organizational culture and
transformational leadership have a significant effect on innovative behavior in
companies. The hospital transformational leadership occording to Dlamini et al.
(2017), occurs when the leader motivates, inspires, and intellectually stimulates

the change of status to a hospital that applies the Financial Management Pattern of
the Regional Public Service Agency which has been in effect since January 2016.
The Strategic Business Plan for 2016-2020 at the Regional Public Service Agency
has a study that looks at the customer perspective, internal business processes,
growth and learning and financial perspectives. Analysis of the external
environment was analyzed using a competitive setting profile method to assess
competitive conditions in the hospital business. The Strategic Business is also a
reference in submitting a class upgrade to a class B hospital.
The results of the interview stated that the hospital business plan has the
following benefits: 1) a guideline that becomes a reference for hospitals in moving
to transform to fulfill their vision and mission as a dream hospital in the southern
region of South Sulawesi, 2) as an assessment standard in determining the
progress or achievement of home performance. hospital, 3) as a trigger for
inspiration in making changes or transformations for hospitals in adapting to the
service needs of the community in Bantaeng Regency and its surroundings, and 4)
documents that become concoctions in bringing out superior hospital services.
The weaknesses and obstacles in the preparation of business strategic plans
and achieving results are:
1). Installations and supervisory boards of regional public service agencies
as representatives of owners, are not present in the preparation of the strategic
plan
2). The hospital has not yet formed a team tasked with specifically reviewing the
strategic plan in order to maximize the hospital's transformation
3). Evaluation has not been carried out regularly and periodically related to
achievements as indicators in the strategic plan.
4). the strategic plan has not referred to the potential for development, and the
addition of unit services as market potential, so there are still a number of
opportunities that have not been taken as additional services.
5). Slow execution of strategy from the leadership
6). A number of activities are not mandated to related fields.
According to Pella (2020) the wrong strategy will contribute to failure in
organizational transformation. Strategy execution is the main job of every top
leader of the organization. There is a range of 70% to 90% of organizational failures
caused by strategy execution. So what is really important is after choosing a
strategy that is considered appropriate, then the next is how to execute it.
The results of the interview found several opportunities that have not been
glimpsed but have promising market potential, including: 1). Home care
physiotherapy is physiotherapy services to patients' homes, especially for stroke
patients, 2). Home care laboratory, namely taking samples at the patient's home and
providing information on results via whatsapp, 3). Laundry service for patient
companions, families, and officers, so that the needs for clean clothes can be met
quickly and in a short and affordable time, 4). Healthy food services for companions,
families and staff, so that they can meet the needs of healthy food and balanced
1963
BALTIC JOURNAL OF LAW & POLITICS ISSN 2029-0454
VOLUME 15, NUMBER 2 2022
nutrition, 5). Medical gas sales services to the general public, clinics and hospitals
within Bantaeng Regency, 6). Maintenance repair clinic that can provide repairs and
maintenance for patient office/home equipment, patient companions, community
and staff, 7). Place/room rental services, such as rental housing for
students/patients, canteen and supermarket rentals within the hospital area.
The transformation strategy built through integrated and comprehensive
quality improvement activities with the implementation of hospital accreditation,
which measures a number of performance indicators and evaluation of hospital
programs, ensures the implementation of regulations, policies and standard
operating procedures (SOPs) as quality assurance efforts. Furthermore, there is a
business plan that maps out objectives, how to reallocate resources, proper
placement of activities, and hospital development.
Hospitals need to make strategic efforts in improving business plan
documents in the following ways
1). Business planning starting from the unit/installation by actively involving the
supervisory board to explore development potential, and adding unit
services as market potential.
2). Formation of a work team to specifically examine the strategic plan in
overseeing hospital transformation
3). Periodically evaluate the achievement of strategic plan indicators.
4). Increase the speed of execution of strategy from the leadership
5). Placement of business potential according to related fields.
Accreditation activities are an effort to overcome weaknesses and improve
the system in hospitals at RGH of Prof dr.H.M. Anwar Makkatutu. According to
Adisasmito (2008) in the face of globalization, hospitals make changes by
overcoming weaknesses by: (1) improving systems in hospitals; (2) improving
human support facilities and systems, (3) transforming hospital management.
Thus, the implementation of the transformation that has been designed in the
business strategy with the fulfillment of resources, will be formulated with
accreditation activities, so that the output of the transformation will be of high
quality. This is still in line with Timmons et al. (2019) there are 10 (ten) strategies
in organizational transformation, namely (1) clear and consistent goals, (2) agency
culture, (3) proper work placement, (4) strong external and internal communication
planning, (5) reallocation/restructuring of resources, (6) professional development,
(7) consumer focus and engagement, (8) performance measurement, quality
assurance and program monitoring, (9) holistic approach and (10) multi-
community partnerships.
