Abstract

Assessing the Impact of the National Health Insurance Program (JKN) on Healthcare Access in City Medan. This research evaluates the impact of the National Health Insurance Program (JKN) on healthcare access in City Medan, Indonesia. Implemented with the goal of providing equitable and affordable healthcare services to all citizens, JKN has undergone scrutiny to assess its effectiveness in improving healthcare access and outcomes. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this study amalgamates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Stratified sampling was utilized to collect data from diverse socio-economic groups across City Medan. Quantitative surveys focused on healthcare utilization patterns, awareness of JKN benefits, and demographic factors, while qualitative interviews explored nuanced perspectives, barriers to access, and suggestions for improvement. The analysis reveals a notable increase in healthcare utilization and improved accessibility to essential services following JKN implementation. However, disparities in service quality across healthcare facilities persist, coupled with geographical barriers and administrative complexities hindering seamless service provision. Maternal and child health indicators show promise, and preventive healthcare practices are gaining traction, indicating a shift towards proactive health-seeking behaviors. The research underscores the necessity for policy refinements, targeted interventions, technological innovations, community engagement, and efficient resource allocation to strengthen JKN's effectiveness. Strategic recommendations advocate for streamlined administrative processes, service quality enhancements, and geographical outreach to remote communities

Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of the digital economy in enhancing social inclusiveness and community economic empowerment. Along with the rapid development of information technology, the digital economy provides opportunities for marginalised communities to access markets, information and financial services, and empowers micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to grow their businesses. However, the research also identified a significant digital divide between urban and rural areas, and low digital literacy that hinders access to the potential of the digital economy for many. More inclusive policies and digital literacy training are needed to ensure the digital economy can have an equitable impact. This research recommends the need to strengthen technological infrastructure and policies that support equitable digital adoption to promote economic empowerment and social inclusiveness
