Health Management System Flashcards
This is data collection system specifically designed to support planning, management, and decision making in health facilities and organization
-Health management information system
What is the first step in developing Health Information Management System?
Review the existing system
A well-functioning health system DOES NOT ensure production, analysis dissemination and use of reliable and timely information on health determinants, health system performance and health status. This statement is.
FALSE
This is the used track changes in program performance over time.
Monitoring
This simply means counting or determining the frequency of a certain parameter or indicator.
Monitoring
This determines if the frequency has any significance at all.
Evaluation
What is monitoring and evaluation?
Process of data collection and analysis for informing policy, program planning and project management
This measure how well the program activities have met expected objectives.
Evaluation
This is also known as “research framework”
Conceptual Framework
This is also known as “Monitoring and Evaluation framework”
Logic Model
Correlation among variables indicates a cause and effect relationship
TRUE
This is an assessment of data fitness to serve its purpose in a given context
-Data quality
What is the easiest way of checking reports for completeness?
Visual Scanning
This feeds into evaluation and real-time learning
Monitoring
This measures program progress towards achieving program objectives
Monitoring
This is needed for continued review of partners’ capacity development needs
Monitoring
This is used to track changes in program performance over time
Monitoring
This measure how well the program activities have met expected objectives.
Evaluation
This tells us weather what we are doing is relevant, rational, and therefore justified.
Evaluation
This is a systematic impartial assessment which is external and separated from program management
Evaluation
This leads to improved positioning to influence next development planning through the use of framework.
Evaluation
This improves result based reporting on achievements
Evaluation
This measures the extent to which changes in outcomes can be attributed to the program or intervention.
Evaluation
What are the steps in developing a Health Management Information System?
Step1- Review the existing system
Step2- Define the data needs of relevant units within the health system
Step3- Determine the most appropriate and effective data flow
Step4- Design the data collection and reporting tools
Step5- Develop the procedures and mechanisms for data processing
Step6- Develop and implement a training program for data providers and data users
Step7- Conducts a pre-test
Step8- Monitor and evaluate the system
Step9- Develop effective data dissemination and feedback mechanisms
Step10- Enhance the HMIS

Process
Measuring these parameters determines progress toward objectives
Indicator
A variable that measures a particular aspect of a program helps track and assess the result of the interventions and aspects of a program.
