| Description: | The RHIS Rapid Assessment Tool can be implemented as a stand-alone assessment tool or as part of a larger performance assessment (such as the PRISM Framework). As the name suggests, the RHIS Rapid Assessment Tool provides rapid assessment to identify gaps and facilitate planning. Local information systems are judged against global best practices. Implementation of the tool does not require special skills; ideally it will be administered by RHIS staff with knowledge of the local health system. The tool includes an Implementation Guide and two Excel workbooks for data entry and analysis. Results from this tool are not meant to be comparable across regions or countries. |
