Abstract

In order to improve their patient’s health status, doctors generally carry out medical examinations, give treatments and determine prognosis for their patient. In addition to this, they can also carry out medical examinations in order to give medicolegal assessments of their patient, especially used for law enforcement purposes, both for the living and dead victims. The results of the medical examination for legal purposes as above are stated in the form of reports, namely in the form of Visum et Repertum. Visum et Repertum has a role in proving a criminal case against someone’s conditions, both physically and mentally. As written in the article 184 KUHAP, the VeR can function as a legitimate evidence in the judicial process, therefore, the VeR is expected to provide enough information for law enforcers, especially judges, in making court decisions. For this purpose a good quality VeR is needed. A research on the Visum et Repertum quality of wounded living victims in Toba Samosir district had been conducted. The research used all VeR done during the period of January 01, 2017 to December 31, 2018 in 19 UPT Puskesmas and Porsea Hospital. It was conducted with the analytical descriptive research methode, with total sampling, using Herkutanto's scoring tool on 13 variables. The total number of cases examined by doctors and supported with VeR was 60 cases. The quality of VeR in the introduction parts is 84,5 % (good quality). The quality of VeR in the body section is 53,5 % (medium quality). The quality of VeR in the conclusion is 48 % (poor quality). Therefore, the VeR quality of the wounded living victims in Toba Samosir districts is 52,57 % (medium quality)
