Book Description
This strategy was developed to further support countries in their efforts to strengthen their capacity to implement key interventions to optimize their RHIS, enabling the monitoring and delivery of Health Care Services, especially Primary Health Care (PHC). The strategy proposes principles for integrated, interoperable, evidence-informed, aligned and partnership-based RHIS through five strategic goals with measurable interventions. The Strategy for optimising national RHIS is part of the World Health Organization's (WHO) SCORE (Survey, Count, Optimize, Review, Enable) for Health Data Technical Package to strengthen country health data systems and capacity to generate and use the information for health service management and monitoring of national and global targets. This strategy sets out to optimize RHIS and outlines a vision, supported by strategic goals, guiding principles, specific objectives and key interventions to improve health data collection, reporting, analyses and use at national, subnational (all levels below the national level including and not limited to public, private, nongovernmental) and community levels.

Regional Strategy for Strengthening the Role of the Health Sector for Improving CRVS, 2015-2024

Book Description
Globally, one third of births and two thirds of deaths are not registered. A well-functioning Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) system is crucial for the continuous and universal recording of vital events registration, and the accurate compilation of a country's vital statistics. This Regional Strategy is a guideline focusing on strengthening the health sector's role using efficient and evidence-based methods. It is aligned with the three goals of the Regional Action Framework for CRVS in Asia and the Pacific, and the World Bank/WHO CRVS Scaling-Up Investment Plan 2015-2024. The five strategic areas of the Regional Strategy are: "Strategic Area 1: Legal and organizational framework for CRVS;" "Strategic Area 2: Political commitment and intersectoral collaboration for national capacity-building, partnership, advocacy and outreach;" "Strategic Area 3: Birth and death registration - completeness and coverage;" "Strategic Area 4: Recording cause of death, ensuring completeness and quality;" "Strategic Area 5: Creating demand for health and vital statistics, enabling service delivery and planning through use in (a) evidence-based decision-making, and (b) linkages to other activities." Specific objectives and recommendations are detailed under each strategic area for their achievement, which also includes the roles and responsibilities of national and regional stakeholders involved in the program. Recommendations on the monitoring and evaluation activities to be performed are also included, to assess the country's progress against the Regional Strategy 2015-2024. These guidelines are thus for all the stakeholders of CRVS, such as governments, development partners and civil society organizations, to effectively strengthen the CRVS system of the countries in the SEA Region.
Verbal Autopsy Standards

ISBN: 9241547219
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
The dearth of reliable data on the levels and causes of mortality in poorer regions of the world continues to plague efforts to build a solid evidence base for health policy, planning, monitoring, and evaluation. As a partial solution to this problem, verbal autopsy has become the primary source of information about causes of death in populations lacking vital registration and medical certification. The purpose of this manual is to disseminate new standard data collection and cause-of-death assignment resources for verbal autopsy, and to provide some general guidelines for their use. The manual includes verbal autopsy questionnaires for three age groups, cause-of-death certification and coding guidelines for applying the International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems (ICD-10) to verbal autopsy and a cause-of-death list for verbal autopsy with corresponding ICD-10 codes. These resources are the consensus products of a three-year effort by an expert group led by WHO, consisting of researchers, data users, and other stakeholders under the sponsorship of the Health Metrics Network. They are intended to serve the needs of various users and producers of mortality information, including researchers, policy-makers, program managers, and evaluators.
