Abstract

This study aims to evaluate and analyze the implementation of the National Health Insurance Program in North Barito Regency and to find out and analyze what factors influence the implementation of the National Health Insurance program using the public policy implementation model proposed by George C. Edward III by pointing out four factors/variables that play an important role in the success of implementation, namely: communication, resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure. The method used in this research is qualitative method. Data collection techniques are by using interviews, observation, and documentation study. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out through four activity streams which constitute one interrelated unit, namely (1) data collection, (2) data reduction, (3) data presentation and (4) drawing conclusions. Based on the research results, it was found that communication: coordination between related agencies was felt to be less than optimal, especially with the Department of Population and Civil Registration to synchronize population data, resources: lack of health workers who were scattered in villages because there were many health workers who had accumulated in the city, disposition: awareness The number of people involved in the National Health Insurance Program in North Barito District is very low, bureaucratic structure: the number of procedures that JKN participants have to do when getting health services, because complicated procedures greatly affect the success of the program. The conclusion of the results of this study is that they can provide regular guidance to health workers so that they are more enthusiastic about providing communicative health services, provide more adequate resources, and resolve problems of disposition of health workers.
