| Description: | This toolkit responds to the research question: What are the stages of HIS development in the context of low and middle income-countries? The toolkit facilitates: 1) the identification of HIS components and subcomponents; 2) assessment of HIS status; and 3) the creation of an HIS improvement plan in relation to the future HIS improvement goals. The toolkit includes a measurement scale, data collection tool, and a user guide. The scale outlines key components and sub-components of HIS improvement. It defines attributes of each sub-component on a five-point scale.
The version currently available is the draft version first developed by MEASURE Evaluation; a new version is under development in a joint undertaking by the CDC, MEASURE Evaluation, and the HDC's Digital Health and Interoperability Working Group. Check back in 2018 for updates. |
