<![CDATA[Rural communities' low understanding of the function of health facilities and JKN's tiered referral procedures often triggers administrative discrepancies and a backlog of patients in hospitals. Village health cadres have a strategic role as providers of health information for the community. This community service activity aims to increase the understanding and capacity of Pekuncen Village health cadres regarding the types of health facilities, the flow of the tiered referral system, and administrative procedures. The activity was carried out at the Pekuncen Village Hall, Sempor District, Kebumen Regency with a participatory educational approach. The methods used include interactive lectures, discussions and questions and answers, reference case study simulations, as well as descriptive-qualitative based evaluations through pretests and posttests. The implementation of the activity showed a significant increase in health cadres' understanding of the differences in the functions of FKTP and FKRTL, understanding of referral administration procedures, as well as the creation of active and interactive participation during the discussion process. This educational outreach has proven effective in strengthening the understanding of village health cadres as mobilizers of tiered referral information. Similar activities are recommended to be carried out periodically with structured evaluation instruments to support the sustainable optimization of primary health care network governance.]]>
