Who Should Use this Registry
HIS managers and other personnel can use the registry to search by column for indicators that meet their needs. Information on each indicator was drawn directly from the document source, and information on scoring mechanisms and potential data sources are only provided if this information was explicitly stated in the source document for the indicator.
How to Use the Registry
Download the Excel spreadsheet then use the filter buttons across the top to refine the indicators by the criteria.
