Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia is still high and is a major challenge in the health system, especially in the labor phase. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the BPJS patient labor referral system in reducing MMR at the Gunung Tinggi Health Center. The study used a qualitative method with a case study approach to health workers at the Gunung Tinggi Health Center. The results of the study showed that the availability of competent health workers, adequate facilities and infrastructure, and a referral system integrated with BPJS have made a positive contribution to labor services. However, challenges were still found in the form of late responses from referral hospitals, geographical constraints, and low public health literacy regarding the importance of referrals. This study concludes that strengthening the coordination system between facilities and educating the community is very important in increasing the effectiveness of the referral system and reducing maternal mortality.
