Toolkit for analysis and use of routine health facility data: integrated health services analysis: district and facility level

Overview

This document is part of the WHO Toolkit for analysis and use of routine health facility data – a set of capacitybuilding resources to optimize the analysis and use of data collected from health facilities through routine health information systems (RHIS). The toolkit is a collaborative effort by multiple WHO technical programmes and partners. It promotes an integrated, standards-based approach to facility data analysis, using a limited set of standardized core indicators with recommended analyses, visualizations and dashboards.

The Toolkit consists of a series of modules that can be used individually or together: „

• General principles introduces key concepts in RHIS data analysis that are applicable to all modules.
• Core facility indicators is a compendium of the indicators from the various modules. „
• The Data quality assurance (DQA) toolkit includes guidance and tools for systematic review of the quality of routine facility data. „
• Integrated health services analysis targets general health service managers, providing a comprehensive, integrated analysis of tracer indicators across multiple health service components and programmes. „
• The programme-specific guidance modules are customized according to the needs of the programme.

Each module contains a guidance document, training materials and an electronic configuration package for automated dashboard production.
