Improving Routine Health Information System Performance
This module contains a complete training course on improving Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) performance. It is an international course on comprehensive assessment of information use with an emphasis on accurate data use for evidence-based decision-making at all levels.
After completing this course, participants will be able to understand the roles of RHIS in health service management, understand three major areas of determinants of RHIS performance, and carry out a process to improve RHIS performance, including assessment, analysis, and problem-solving.
The course is comprised of a Trainer's Guide for Improving RHIS Performance and Information Use for Health System Management; a Participant Manual; and course handouts, worksheets and tests.
This course was piloted in August, 2005 as a collaboration among the School of Health Systems and Public Health, University of Pretoria, the MEASURE Evaluation Project, and Health Information Systems Programme (HISP). The pilot course was organized by Continuing Education at University of Pretoria (Pty) Ltd.
