Work Relationship Design for the Preparation of Regional Property Requirements Plans (RKBMD) at Semarang City Health Office

Abstract

Background: Managing goods owned by local governments in the health sector is an important part of efficient and accountable governance. However, in preparing the Regional Goods Requirements Plan (RKBMD) at the Semarang City Health Office, there are still difficulties in inter-departmental cooperation and limitations in integrating asset information systems. This has led to an imbalance between the proposed goods and those actually obtained, thereby reducing the efficiency of budget utilization.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze interdepartmental workflows in the preparation of the RKBMD and identify factors that influence governance, public planning, and budget management, thereby improving the regional health asset planning process.

Methods: This study uses a mixed approach with a sequential explanatory pattern, conducted at the Semarang City Health Office from September to October 2025. The data used included the 2023 RKBMD document, the 2021–2026 Strategic Plan, and related regulations (Permendagri No. 19/2016, Semarang City Regulation No. 1/2024). Quantitative analysis was used to calculate the percentage of imbalance between proposed needs and actual goods obtained. Meanwhile, qualitative analysis was used to understand the governance context, work processes, and policy integration through thematic analysis.

Results: The results showed an average imbalance of  34.6% between proposed needs and goods obtained. Departments that collaborated across fields and used the SIPD-BMD system effectively achieved higher realization. An integrative work model based on collaborative governance was also found, which connects the planning, budgeting, and digital asset management processes.

Conclusion: RKBMD performance is highly dependent on interdepartmental integration, the quality of the asset information system, and the application of transparent governance principles. This study recommends strengthening cross-sectoral cooperation, increasing workforce capacity, and developing a sustainable health asset governance framework to support budget efficiency and the quality of regional public services.
