Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to evaluate the integrated health service post programs for the elderly that have been implemented in the working area of the health center. This qualitative research was conducted from 7 to 11 March 2022 at the Somba Opu Health Center. The subjects in this study were Health center personnel and cadres as well as IHSPP targets with a total of 12 informants, each consisting of 5 health workers from UPT Health center Somba Opu, 4 IHSPP cadres and 3 elderly people. The instrument in this study used interview guidelines, observation forms and documentation. Based on the results of observations regarding the Evaluation of the Elderly IHSPP at the Somba Opu Health Center, the following results were obtained: Effectiveness criteria in three components (Input, Process, and Output) can be said to be quite effective. Although the output component there are obstacles that hinder. For the efficiency criteria, it cannot be said to be efficient, because the funds in implementing the IHSPP have not been efficient to support the running of the program, because to meet the needs of the elderly IHSPP they still depend on cadres who work together to collect funds. For the Sufficiency criteria, it can be said to be sufficient because the materials used in the IHSPP for the elderly such as medicines and vitamins are sufficient to support the needs of the elderly. For the smoothing criteria, it can be said to be evenly distributed because in practice the elderly who attended have received the same and even health services. The responsiveness criteria have been responded positively by the elderly because they do not need to spend money and are only present in the implementation of the program to get health services. For the Accuracy criteria, it is right on target for the elderly aged 60 years and over.
