| Summary: | Background: World Health Organization (WHO) developed a tool to measure
accessibility to health services, namely Access Mod. Tools is one extension of
Arc View 3.0 Geographic Information Sistem, which allows to calculate the
geographic coverage of health services using information and distribution of
population in a areas. The research regarding the accessibility of health care
facilities in Central Lampung district performed to obtain a public accessibility to
health services and as a tool Decision Support Sistems ( DSS ) for policy makers
concerned with the construction and development of health care facilities in order
to run an effective program of health development and efficiently.
Obyektif: This research aimed to measure the accessibility of health services in
Central Lampung District.
Methods: The research design used explanatory method, which connects different
patterns but have relevance and generate patterns of causality. Collecting primary
data obtained from measurements of location coordinates of health service
facilities. While the secondary data obtained from the sources of information
related to the accessibility of health services.
Results: Accessibility of health services in Central Lampung is not only
influenced by the distance and travel time, but also influenced the ability to pay
health care and transportation to the facility. There are 13 units of community
health centers (35%) are still shortages of health workers, as well as the quality
has not described the correspondence between the number of workers with the
kind of power needed. Accessibility to the health care facilities are good, judging
from the catchment area of health care facilities that can cover the entire
population. This analysis produces three models, namely: 1) catchment health
facilities based on capacity, 2) catchment based on travel time, and 3) cathment
based buffering. The final result is the location of the new health service facilities
that may be constructed or existing development by improving access to health
service facilities.
Conclusion: Accessibility to the health care facilities are good, judging from the
catchment area of health care facilities that can include the entire population, there
are 13 units of community health centers (35%) still lack health personnel,
produced three (3 ) models of catchment area (catchment ) health services are
taken into account by using the capacity, travel time and buffer, as well as provide
recommendations construction site and development of new health service
facilities in Central Lampung District.
