Abstract

Posyandu is one of the social institutions that plays a role in the community participation approach in the health sector. The quality and effectiveness of Posyandu depend on the role of Posyandu cadres. Posyandu cadres of Kemala Bhayangkari still use a manual approach in collecting data on toddler development.

Furthermore, there is a Posyandu service website containing information about available services and data on the growth and development of toddlers. The success of implementing activities is assessed by participants through a questionnaire. The results achieved from this program show that the quality of the device, website and database system is very good (96%); the system is able to improve the quality of posyandu services, especially in the context of recording and reporting growth and development data at Posyandu Kemala Bhayangkari Ciracas (93%); and the need for posyandu cadres assistance and continuity of activities (93%).
