| dc.description.abstract | The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) report can be a benchmark for determining the quality of a nation's
Human Resources (HR) because the creation of a healthy, intelligent and quality future generation will
start from the time when the baby is born to adulthood. In the last five years, namely 2014 to 2018,
Tuban Health Department reported that the Infant Mortality Rate was still fluctuating. The IMR in
2014 was 186 cases, in 2015 there were 225 cases, in 2016 there were 219 cases, in 2017 there were
109 and in 2018 there were 158 cases. The success of development in the health sector is influenced
by various aspects, one of which is the political aspect. The existence of policies, programs,
implemented innovations, monitoring and evaluation will be several factors that influence the
political aspect. Researchers conducted a policy analysis of reducing IMR at the Tuban Health Office
Department using the Dunn method (1998). Forecasting data and recommendations are obtained
through a questionnaire with 59 respondents and a recommendation questionnaire based on the
criteria for effectiveness, efficiency, political feasibility, economic feasibility, and administrative
feasibility that will be assessed by the main research respondents. The result was that there was a
lack of effective communication between health workers who could be at risk of fluctuating IMR | en_US |
