Integrating Electronic Health Records, Health Analytics, and Workforce Management for Hospital Quality Improvement and Patient Safety: A Narrative Literature Synthesis
Hospital digital transformation requires the integration of technology, healthcare processes, and organizational capacity to improve healthcare quality and patient safety. This study aims to develop a socio-technical framework that integrates the key components of hospital digital transformation through a narrative literature synthesis. The study synthesized five peer-reviewed articles published between 2023 and 2025 covering Electronic Health Records (EHRs), Big Data Analytics, process mining, medication safety, and workforce management. The findings demonstrate that EHRs serve as the foundation for integrated clinical data, Big Data Analytics transforms data into actionable insights for risk identification and evidence-based decision-making, process mining evaluates real-world healthcare workflows to identify process inefficiencies, and medication safety applies these improvements to high-risk stages of patient care. Furthermore, organizational factors, particularly workforce management, staffing, workload, and system usability, determine the sustainability of digital transformation. This study contributes by proposing an integrated socio-technical framework that connects technological, process, and organizational dimensions, providing a conceptual reference for hospitals to align digital investments with continuous improvements in healthcare quality, patient safety, operational efficiency, and workforce sustainability.

From Self-Actualization to Spiritual Transcendence: Developing an Ihsan-Based Humanistic Counseling Model for Quarter-Life Crisis in Higher Education
The surge of mental health bracket disorders among university students during their early twenties has transformed the quarter-life crisis into an alarming academic and social pathology. This study aims to construct a holistic psychospiritual framework by integrating humanistic psychotherapy principles with Islamic ihsan values to mitigate this crisis. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a literature-based conceptual design, this study synthesizes psychological self-actualization and spiritual transcendence. The findings reveal that while humanistic therapy effectively restores self-awareness and personal autonomy, the integration of ihsan values provides a crucial metaphysical anchor through tawakkal (trust in God) and rida (contentment). This syncretic approach does not only alleviate superficial anxiety but fundamentally reconstructs the student’s existential meaning. Consequently, this study offers a novel, culturally responsive blueprint for modern psychological counseling services within Islamic higher education institutions. Abstrak Lonjakan gangguan kesehatan mental di kalangan mahasiswa selama awal usia dua puluhan telah mengubah quarter-life crisis menjadi patologi akademik dan sosial yang mengkhawatirkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkonstruksi kerangka kerja psikospiritual yang holistik dengan mengintegrasikan prinsip psikoterapi humanistik dan nilai ihsan untuk memitigasi krisis tersebut. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain konseptual berbasis kepustakaan, studi ini menyintesiskan aktualisasi diri psikologis dan transendensi spiritual. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa ketika terapi humanistik efektif memulihkan kesadaran diri dan otonomi personal, integrasi nilai ihsan memberikan jangkar metafisika yang krusial melalui tawakkal dan rida. Pendekatan sinkretis ini tidak hanya meredakan kecemasan permukaan, tetapi secara mendasar merekonstruksi makna eksistensial mahasiswa. Walhasil, studi ini menawarkan cetak biru baru yang responsif budaya bagi layanan konseling psikologis modern di institusi perguruan tinggi Islam.

This study aims to analyze students’ understanding of the values of religious moderation in the material of different sects in the subject of Fiqh class XII MAN 2 Semarang City. The background of this research departs from the weakening of the value of religious moderation in the Islamic education environment which triggers intolerance and fanaticism of the sect. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, questionnaire, and documentation techniques, as well as data analysis of Miles and Huberman’s interactive models. The results of the study show that Fiqh teachers have succeeded in integrating religious moderation values such as tawassuth (middle way), tawazun (balance), i’tidal (fairness), and tasamuh (tolerance) in learning. Most students (70–85%) have understood the difference in madhhab as a justified effort in Islam and show tolerance, openness, and rejection of extremism. However, about 15–25% of students still tend to be exclusive in understanding differences of views. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pemahaman peserta didik terhadap nilai-nilai moderasi beragama dalam materi perbedaan mazhab pada mata pelajaran Fikih kelas XII MAN 2 Kota Semarang.

Dynamics of Prophetic Leadership and Teacher Performance in East Lombok Islamic Schools
Despite the growing demand for managerial innovation in Islamic schools, the practical integration of spiritual leadership models remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate the operational dynamics and impact of prophetic leadership on teacher performance within a highly competitive and inclusive educational ecosystem. Employing a qualitative single-case study design, this research was conducted at MAN 1 Lombok Timur. Primary and secondary data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with the principal and teaching faculty, non-participant observation, and institutional document analysis. The data were subsequently analyzed using the interactive model encompassing data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing. The empirical findings reveal that the four pillars of prophetic leadership Siddiq (integrity), Amanah (trustworthiness), Tabligh (transparent communication), and Fathonah (visionary wisdom) function synergistically as a cohesive managerial framework. Siddiq fosters intrinsic motivation through personal exemplification, Amanah empowers educators via delegated pedagogical autonomy, Tabligh ensures psychological safety through humanistic feedback, and Fathonah catalyzes continuous innovation. Ultimately, the internalization of these attributes transforms the teachers’ psychological contract, shifting their commitment from mere bureaucratic compliance to a profound form of spiritual devotion. This research concludes that authentic spiritual leadership is a pragmatic strategy for sustaining educational excellence. Abstrak Meskipun tuntutan inovasi manajerial di sekolah Islam semakin meningkat, integrasi praktis model kepemimpinan spiritual masih jarang dieksplorasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi dinamika operasional dan dampak kepemimpinan profetik terhadap kinerja guru dalam ekosistem pendidikan yang inklusif dan kompetitif. Menggunakan desain studi kasus tunggal kualitatif, penelitian ini dilaksanakan di MAN 1 Lombok Timur. Data primer dan sekunder dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur dengan kepala sekolah dan dewan guru, observasi non-partisipan, serta analisis dokumen institusi. Data tersebut kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif yang mencakup kondensasi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan empiris menunjukkan bahwa empat pilar kepemimpinan profetik Siddiq (integritas), Amanah (tanggung jawab), Tabligh (komunikasi transparan), dan Fathonah (kecerdasan visioner) berfungsi secara sinergis sebagai kerangka manajerial yang utuh. Siddiq menumbuhkan motivasi intrinsik melalui keteladanan, Amanah memberdayakan pendidik melalui otonomi pedagogis, Tabligh memastikan keamanan psikologis melalui umpan balik humanis, dan Fathonah mengkatalisasi inovasi berkelanjutan. Pada akhirnya, internalisasi sifat-sifat ini mentransformasi kontrak psikologis guru, menggeser komitmen mereka dari sekadar kepatuhan birokrasi menjadi bentuk pengabdian spiritual yang mendalam. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kepemimpinan spiritual yang autentik merupakan strategi pragmatis untuk mempertahankan keunggulan pendidikan.

This article aims to examine the concept of the philosophy of the unity of sciences (Unity of Sciences) within the vision of the State Islamic University (UIN) Walisongo Semarang. This study is motivated by a social phenomenon in which modern scientific knowledge tends to be fragmented and detached from moral and spiritual values, resulting in a dichotomy between religious and general sciences. Such conditions highlight the importance of integrating knowledge based on Islamic values in Islamic higher education. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were obtained from secondary sources, including academic books, national and international journal articles, and official institutional documents relevant to philosophy, philosophy of science, and the unity of sciences paradigm. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive-analytical techniques with the interactive model of Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that the Unity of Sciences paradigm serves as a philosophical foundation that integrates Islamic sciences, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences into a unified framework grounded in Islamic values. The study concludes that strengthening the philosophical foundation of the Unity of Sciences is essential to ensure substantive and sustainable knowledge integration in Islamic higher education.
