Sistem Pencatatan dan Pelaporan Puskesmas (SP3) merupakan bagian dari SIK, yang telah diakui sebagai sumber data yang berasal dari Puskesmas. SP3 telah diberlakukan tahun 1981 dengan SK Menkes No.63/Menkes/SK/II/1981 dengan Petunjuk pelaksanaan SK dari Dirjen Binkesmas No.143/Binkesmas/Dj/III/1981. Dalam perjalanannya sistem pencatatan dan pelaporan Puskesmas (SP3) mengalami pemantapan, hasilnya tertuang dalam SK. Dirjen Binkesmas No. 590/BM/DJ/Info/V/96 tanggal 10 Mei 1996 dengan dua komitmen terpenting menurut penulis yaitu menghindari format lain diluar SP3 dan pembinaan SP3 berjenjang. Hasil penjajakan awal di lapangan di Kab. Karawang, tenyata ditemukan beberapa kendala pemanfaatan SP3 belum berjalan seperti yang diharapkan, diantaranya tumpang tindihnya laporan SP3 dengan laporan program lain, mekanisme alur pelaporan SP3 dan UPTD Puskesmas ke Dinas Kesehatan belum tertata dengan baik, ketidak tahuan tentang system operation prosedur (SOP), tidak adanya bimbingan SP3 secara berjenjang. Penulis meneliti apakah yang menyebabkan hambatan alur pelaporan dari Puskesmas ke Dinas Kesehatan dan tidak adanya proses analisa data, umpan balik serta pembinaan teknis secara berjenjang. Tujuan penulisan ini diharapkan tersedianya jaringan informasi kesehatan untuk kelancaran dan kelangsungan SP3 dan tersedianya SOP. Rancangan penelitian dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, dengan pendekatan evaluatif terhadap aspek review program SP3 yang saat ini berjalan di Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Karawang. Cara pengukurannya yaitu melalui hasil observasi langsung dengan menggunakan "Cheklist" dan melalui hasil olahan brain storming, wawancara mendalam serta work shop. Hasil yang diperoleh penelitian yaitu tersedianya mekanisme alur pelaporan SP3 dan SOPnya. Tersedianya tenaga pengelola SP3 dan sarana komputer di lingkungan Dinas Kesehatan maupun di UPTD Puskesmas, sangat memungkinkan untuk dikembangkannya jaringan informasi kesehatan pada SP3. Restukturisasi Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Dinas Kabupaten Karawang, memacu untuk menata kembali TUPOKSI para pengelola SP3 di tingkat Kabupaten maupun di tingkat UPTD Puskesmas. Untuk mengoptimalkan jaringan informasi kesehatan pada SP3 maka penulis menyarankan: Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Karawang dalam mengoptimalkan pelaksanaan SP3 dengan sistem jaringan informasi berbasis komputer maka diperlukan adanya peningkatan dan penambahan tenaga operator, teknisi komputer serta peningkatan kualitas komputer. Dan untuk para peneliti lain diharapkan adanya penelitian lanjutan tentang kebutuhan data esensial SP3 dan pembuatan software SP3 untuk tingkat Puskesmas yang langsung akses ke tingkat Kabupaten dan ke tingkat Propinsi.
