Hopefully, GIS application for can help monitoring of immunization LAM program.
Objectives: It aimed to develop spatial-based information system for Immunization LAM in Palangka Raya which included need assessment, system design and its utilization.
Methods: It was a descriptive – qualitative with action research method. The subject included 3 managers, 3 program managers at the health office, and 2 immunization program executors at health centers. The data were collected through in-depth interview, observation, and literature review.
Results: Development of the GIS-based Immunization LAM resulted coverage area maps for all antigen, distribution of PD3I diseases and stratification of tetanus nenonatorum. The system also can provide information about program’s problem for anticipation immediately.
Conclusion: The spatial-based immunization LAM Information System was useful for program efficiency and effectively since it could minimize the working time and delivered the required information by manager.
