Health Information Systems Interoperability Maturity Toolkit: Assessment Tool

Author(s): MEASURE Evaluation

Year: 2017

Abstract:

The Health Information Systems (HIS) Interoperability Maturity Toolkit addresses challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where information systems are largely fragmented. The purpose of the HIS Interoperability Maturity Toolkit is for ministries of health, their implementing partners, and other stakeholders to identify the key domains for interoperability and the required levels of maturity to achieve HIS interoperability goals.

The toolkit consists of a users' guide, interoperability maturity model, a complete list of references from the literature review that was conducted as part of the toolkit’s development, and this maturity assessment tool. The objective of this assessment tool is to measure the stage of development of each domain and subdomain for a resilient HIS that serves a country’s data needs. Countries can use results from this assessment to plan for the implementation of HIS activities to achieve a strong and interoperable national HIS.
