Mapping Health Information System Competencies for Health Workers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
The Health Information Systems Knowledge Hub’s Working Paper Series is the principal means to disseminate the knowledge products developed by the hub as easily accessible resources that collectively form a lasting repository of the research findings and knowledge generated by the hub’s activities. Working papers are intended to stimulate debate and promote the adoption of best practice for health information systems in the region. The series focuses on a range of knowledge gaps, including new tools, methods and approaches, and raises and debates fundamental issues around the orientation, purpose and functioning of health information systems.Jul 28, 2014

"For the research in this thesis, we mainly followed a phase‐by‐phase evaluation and user‐centered approach. Cross‐sectional surveys were initially conducted to assess the role of HEWs and identify gaps in improving maternal health care service delivery. Then, considering mobile technologies as a potential solution for improving the performance of the health workers, we developed and evaluated a set of appropriate smartphone mHealth applications using open source components, including a local language adapted data collection tool, health worker and manager user‐friendly dashboard analytics and maternal‐newborn electronic forms/protocols. This thesis includes the technical details of the application and electronic protocols."
