This study aims to strengthen the strategy of public hospitals in Indonesia to face the SIC policy. The study design is qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations were conducted in the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd inpatient rooms. Data analysis was carried out by using the Atlas-TI software and Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat (SWOT) analysis. Based on the results of this study, it was found that general hospitals are ready for the implementation of SIC. Public hospital is ready for SIC implementation. Hospitals must also consider a work plan for managing and observing the current condition of hospital infrastructure, a compatible hospital infrastructure management system, and an adequate budget for procuring hospital infrastructure. This study concluded that the main effort to deal with the SIC implementation is to strengthen the infrastructure of hospital inpatient rooms by optimizing funding from the Government.</p>","PeriodicalId":55886,"journal":{"name":"Hospital Topics","volume":" ","pages":"133-141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143460925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
