A Stronger Health Information System Means a Healthier Country

Abstract:

This poster illustrates how the quality and availability of health data can improve health outcomes. The illustration depicts a health system with only limited data function and what kinds of capabilities that health system would possess. It then shows what additional functions might be possible for a health system that had additional data at hand; and, finally, what kinds of health questions and trends could be identified with still more available and robust data.

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.
