Description: | The Health Metrics Network's framework and associated Health Information System Assessment Tool lay out the core elements of a country HIS. The tools do not formally assess the performance of health facilities' data reporting (facilities and reported data are not formally assessed), but are designed to give stakeholders an understanding of their HIS, identify strengths and weaknesses, build consensus, and identify priority areas for improvement. The assessment tool can be used to establish a baseline, monitor progress, and evaluate targeted interventions. |
