In order to gather accurate and up-to-date healthcare data from various sources, Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) are essential. These systems play a crucial role in supporting effective health service delivery at both facility and community levels. The “Implementation guide to the RHIS toolkit” serves as a valuable resource for countries looking to implement the WHO Toolkit for Routine Health Information Systems data.
The guide aims to help ministries of health, collaborating partners, and WHO country offices in strengthening national health information systems. By providing step-by-step guidance, the toolkit assists in preparing, implementing, and evaluating activities to continuously improve RHIS.
Key steps outlined in the guide include conducting a situation and gap analysis, developing an implementation and resource mobilization plan, and implementing, monitoring, and evaluating key activities and progress. By following these steps, countries can enhance data collection processes, ensure data quality, and support better health service delivery.
This valuable resource is accessible for download here for countries looking to improve their RHIS implementation and data management practices. It offers practical guidance on how to strengthen their health information systems for better overall health data management.
