Polygon WebGIS of distric level for development and monitoring of PUSKESMAS in health care services

In the future, Community Health Center (PUSKESMAS) spread throughout Indonesia is expected to play an important role in improving public health. Currently, the government still has obstacles in monitoring the readiness level of PUSKESMAS service and conditions. This research is aimed at creating a prototype, web-based geographic information system (WEBGIS) with the polygon method. This application is used as PUSKESMAS monitoring apps at the district level. Monitoring conditions include the availability of health workers, medical equipment standards, the PUSKESMAS kind and type, PUSKESMAS building conditions, as well as the spread of disease. This application is named SIGAPNAS (Sistem Informasi Geografis PUSKESMAS Nasional); a prototype of this application is an earlier prototype development that is expected to assist the public in seeking PUSKESMAS information. This application can also help the government in monitoring the development and levels of PUSKESMAS and the spread of a disease in an area. SIGAPNAS is expected to help the government succeed in national health programs through information technology.
