Analysis and use of health facility data: guidance for HIV programme managers

Overview

The overall goal of this guidance document is to extend existing guidance in the 2015 WHO consolidated HIV strategic information guidelines familiarize HIV and HMIS programme managers with the tremendous potential of using standard dashboards to routinely analyse and use programme data to more effectively monitor and manage HIV programs.

• Describe the essential, or “core” HMIS indicators recommended for use in routine programme management and how they relate to the recommended national and global indicators.
• Interpret each of the figures included in the reference HIV programme dashboard and apply them to improve programme management. 
• Assess the quality of HIV programme HMIS data and understand implications for interpreting dashboard figures.
