Stages of Health Information System Improvement: Strengthening the Health Information System for Improved Performance

Abstract:

This brief describes a suite of tools under development by MEASURE Evaluation to provide systematic guidance on how to assess the existing status of a health information system (HIS) and identify specific improvements that take an HIS through a defined progression toward optimum functioning. The goal of this suite of tools is to answer the question: “What are the stages of HIS development?”

TB DIAH will run until September 2023, PMI Measure Malaria until June 2024, and D4I until September 2023.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
