Developing Dashboard Monitoring System for Puskesmas Resilience towards Disasters Index (PREDIX)

Puskesmas is a government-mandated community health centre in a sub-district level that provides comprehensive health development services and strengthens the function of both public and personal health efforts. Puskesmas has a critical role in minimizing the impact of a disaster. Thus, it is essential to promote the concept of Puskesmas resilience towards disaster. This paper aims to design dashboard system for performance monitoring and evaluation based on the general framework of Puskesmas resilience. We developed a “Puskesmas Resilience towards Disasters Index (PREDIX)” dashboard to visualize of Puskesmas resilience indicators designed to enable tracking of resilience index performance data in a clear, more user-friendly format. Steps to create a dashboard monitoring system for PREDIX include: identify parameters and indicators of Puskesmas resilience; proof of concept; build the technological infrastructure necessary to host the dashboard; design the visual interface for multiple platforms, and create systems to support the integration of finer-scale data. A conceptual framework was constructed for documentation of the measurement component of puskesmas resilience, which integrates possible measures for future development of an evaluation instrument. This framework has five parameters to measure the puskesmas resilience, namely: physical conditions, institutional issues, human resources, external relationships, and exposure to disaster. We developed the PREDIX dashboard to provide a visual interface which consolidates and presents information on an interface screen that can assist the process of strategic decision making to increase Puskesmas resilience toward disaster. This PREDIX dashboard provides charts showing structural and non-structural measurement of Puskesmas resilience and lays the foundation for a web-enabled, interactive resilience index dashboard. This new tool will assist to track progress toward the Puskesmas resilience, monitoring and reporting, and inform outcome-based policy making to increase resilience toward disaster.
