Objective:Program PengelolaanPenyakitKronis (PROLANIS) or Chronic Disease Management Program (CDMP) is a healthcare system that was conducted by Healthcare and Social Security Agency in Indonesia to improve patients’ quality of life. The objective of this study was to analyze level satisfaction of patients, physicians, and private Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) with this program, focusing on hypertension care.Methods:This study was conducted in 7 private PHCs in Bandung City, Indonesia. A cross sectional study was performed to measure patient satisfaction with PSQ-18 on 143 PROLANIS patients with hypertension. A total number of 8 physicians and 7 private PHC managers were involved in this study. Level satisfaction of physicians and private PHC managers were observed by using in-depth interviews.Results:The results showed that patient satisfaction was estimated to be 68.52±8.54, which could be interpreted that patient satisfy with PROLANIS. In-depth interviews showed that physicians did not satisfy with PROLANIS due to several factors (e.g., unintegrated prescription systems, lack of medicines, uncompleted laboratory facilities, lack of physicians, unintegrated referral services, and lack of collaboration between primary and secondary healthcare system). On the other hand, private PHC managers were quite satisfied with PROLANIS due to its linearity with other activities in private PHCs.Conclusion:Level satisfaction of patients with PROLANIS is quite good, while physicians might not satisfy with this program. In particular, private PHC managers confirmed that they are satisfied with this program
