Twinning partnerships for improvement (TPI) recovery partnership preparation package: building capacity to reactivate safe essential health services and sustain health service resilience
Overview
The package presents a simple, step-by-step framework to help organizations, facilities and individuals understand and systematically develop the processes associated with twinning and working in partnership, with a focus on four interdependent technical areas, namely:
- infection prevention and control and patient safety;
- health workforce;
- essential health services.
This partnership preparation package describes:
- Three main objectives on which to build twinning partnerships for health service improvement;
- The 6-step partnership improvement cycle;
- The main partnership activities conducted within each of the 6 steps;
- The expected outputs associated with each step of the partnership cycle;
- The tools and resources available to assist partnerships to undertake the activities and deliver results, both in the immediate and longer term.
This resource is focused on hospitals working together in a twinning partnership, but can also be used by any institutional health partnership, either for the immediate re-establishment of services or long-term service improvement. This resource can also be of significant use to health bodies and institutions unaffected by an outbreak or shock, but which want to undertake preparation activities to build stronger systems for service delivery and safety or learn from partnerships with other institutions.
