HIS MODULE 2 Flashcards
are crucial in improving health.
Data
They are the essential starting point, telling us how many people suffer from various diseases and w hat health services are lacking.
Data
how successful policies and interventions are
Statistics
whether maternal mortality has decreased, w hether children are immunized, w hether our health goals are achievable, and strategies are on track.
Statistics
They alert us when we need to modify development programs and redirect resources.
Data
It needs to be compiled correctly, follow ing standard practices and methodology.
Data
must also meet the needs of users.
Data
ultimate objective of collecting data
to inform health program planning as well as policymaking and, ultimately, global health outcomes and equity
empower decision-makers to manage and lead more effectively by providing useful evidence at the lowest possible cost
Weel-functioning health information system
motivating factors why health information systems are increasingly implemented across health industries all over the world
Concern about the cost and quality of health care
enables the provision of more efficient and effective health care services.
combination of elements in a health information system
correlated and translated into harmonious operations.
components of a health information system
cover different systems that capture, store, manage, and transmit health-related information that can be sourced from individuals or activities of a health institution
HIS
These include disease surveillance systems, district-level routine information systems, hospital patient administration system (PAS), human resource management information systems (HRMIS), and laboratory information systems (LIS).
HIS
becomes the bases in creating program action
information collected from a well-functioning HIS
very useful in policymaking and decision-making of health institutions
information collected from a well-functioning HIS
This translates to efficient resource allocation at the policy level and improvement of the quality and effectiveness of health at the delivery level.
information collected from a well-functioning HIS
should be sustainable, user-friendly, and economical.
HIS
should be educated on the use of the routine data collected from the system and the significance of useful quality data in improving health
Health Care Personnel

These include the framework on legislation, regulation, planning, and the resources required for the system to be fully functional (e.g., personnel, logistics support, financing, ICT, and the component’s mechanism).
Health information system resources
Includes: • Policy and Planning • Infrastructure b. Indicators • Human and Financial Resources • Indicators

Indicators
They describe the way to track intended results and are critical for monitoring and evaluation.

indicators
are a vital part of the results framework.
good performance indicators
indicators can help to:
• inform decision making for an ongoing program
• measure progress and achievements, as understood by the different stakeholders
• clarify consistency between activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts
• ensure legitimacy and accountability to all stakeholders by demonstrating progress
• assess activities and staff performance
should be valid, reliable, specific, sensitive, and feasible/affordable to measure
Health indicators
They must also be relevant and useful for decisionmaking.
Health indicators
main challenge in indicators
identify a small set of indicator
often have a defined minimum list of indicators, usually at the instigation of external partners and donors.
Individual program ares
When combined, these —— can create a considerable burden in terms of data collection.

rational selection of a set of ————- is therefore essentia
core health indicators
Core indicators of a country’s health information system performance can be grouped into two broad types, namely:
- realted to data generation using core sources and methods
- related to country capacities for synthesis, analysis and validation of data
Reflect the country’s capacity to collect relevant data at appropriate intervals and using the most suitable data sources.
Indicators related to data generation using core sources and methods
Includes health surveys, civil registration or birth and death registration, census, facility reporting, and health system resource tracking.
Indicators related to data generation using core sources and methods
Benchmarks include periodicity, timeliness, and contents of data collection efforts and availability of data on key indicators.
Indicators related to data generation using core sources and methods
Indicators of country capacity measure critical dimensions of the institutional frameworks needed to ensure data quality, including independence, transparency, and access.
Indicators are related to country capacities for synthesis, analysis, and validation of data.
Benchmarks include the availability of independent coordination mechanisms and the availability of microdata and metadata.
Indicators are related to country capacities for synthesis, analysis, and validation of data.
data about individuals, households, or organizations and consists of records containing information on respondents or other entities.
microdata
data that enters A person’s details (email, first name, last name, age, location, etc.)
Microdata
is a set of data that describes and gives information about other data.
metadata
Having the ability to search for a particular element (or elements) of that metadata makes it much easier for someone to locate a specific document.
metadata
For example,author, date created, date modified, and file sizeare examples of very basic document file metadata.

• Data sources are divided into tw o main categories:
(1) population-based approaches such as civil registration, censuses, and population surveys,
(2) institution-based data such as individual, resource, and service records.
