Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Padang and Payakumbuh City has implemented Early Warning Alert and Response System (EWARS) in the surveillance system of public health centers in recent years, but there was public health centers that were not in accordance with the indicators. The aim of the study was to determine the capacity and implementation of Early Warning Alert and Response System (EWARS). METHODS: The study was conducted from March to April 2018 by using a cross-sectional design. Data analysis was carried out by univariate, bivariate using chi-square test and t-test. RESULTS: There are correlation between age (p=0.004), length of task (p=0.015), training frequency (p<0.001), double duty (p<0.001) and incentive (p=0.037) with EWARS data quality. The implementation of EWARS showed that the majority of public health center were not included data source from Private Clinic, 16,67% of respondents used the data processing application, data entry and disease case have done according to indicator, 86,67% have validation data and 13,33% unsuitable reporting indicator data. The data and analysis showed in graphic with descriptive analysis, feedback every week and evaluation from City Health Office. DISCUSSION: Lack of capacity such as human resources, and other equipment to be an obstacle for the implementation of EWARS, so the program implementation still needs improvement in terms of accuracy and completeness of the report. Health authorities need to pay attention to deficiencies contained in the capacity and monitor the implementation of the EWARS program regularly and make bulletins as feedback to the public health center.
