Leveraging the Power of Healthcare Data with the Latest WHO Toolkit

Routine Health Information Systems (RHIS) are essential for gathering healthcare data from various sources such as individual health records, service delivery records, and resource management records. These systems play a crucial role in collecting accurate and up-to-date information to support effective health service delivery at both facility and community levels.

The “Implementation guide to the RHIS toolkit” serves as a resource for countries looking to implement the WHO Toolkit for Routine Health Information Systems data. The guide aims to help ministries of health, collaborating partners, and WHO country offices in strengthening national health information systems. By providing step-by-step guidance, the toolkit assists in preparing, implementing, and evaluating activities to continuously improve RHIS.

Key steps outlined in the guide include conducting a situation and gap analysis, developing an implementation, and resource mobilization plan, and implementing, monitoring, and evaluating key activities and progress. By following these steps, countries can enhance data collection processes, ensure data quality, and support better health service delivery. The toolkit is a valuable resource for countries looking to improve their RHIS implementation and data management practices.
