Strengthening an Organization’s Capacity to Demand and Use Data
Significant human and financial resources have been invested worldwide in the collection of population, facility, and community-based data. However, this information is often not used by key stakeholders to effectively inform policy and programmatic decision making. As a result, many health programs fail to fully link evidence to decisions and suffer from a decreased ability to respond to priority needs of the populations they serve. There are many possible factors that undermine evidence-based decision making which relate to (1) how information flows to decision-makers and how they make their decisions, (2) the context in which information is collected and decisions are made, and (3) the organizational infrastructure and technical capacity of those that generate and use data.Oct 1, 2012

Health Workforce Productivity Analysis and Improvement Toolkit
CapacityPlus announces this toolkit, a process to measure the productivity of facility-based health workers, understand causes of productivity problems, and identify interventions to address them. Many countries are striving to meet the demand for family planning, end preventable child and maternal deaths, and achieve an AIDS-free generation.The health workforce is critical for ensuring access to high-quality services and improve health outcomes. While increasing the number of health workers where there are shortages is essential, it is equally important to improve the productivity of the existing workforce and make service delivery more efficient.Jan 28, 2015
Ghana Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity Project 2012
The Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project is a multipronged and multicountry research collaboration focused on understanding what drives and hinders health service provision. The ABCE Facility Survey in Ghana collected data from a nationally representative sample of health facilities on services offered, expenditure, revenue, personnel by category, and other variables related to facility operations. The dataset available for download provides information at the facility-year level.Jan 28, 2015
Kenya Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity Project 2012
The Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project is a multipronged and multicountry research collaboration focused on understanding what drives and hinders health service provision. Three datasets resulting from the ABCE project in Kenya are available for download: results of a nationally representative facility survey which gathered information on services offered, expenditure, revenue, personnel by category, and other variables related to facility operations; data collected in patient exit interviews conducted after patients visited facilities in the ABCE sample; and information extracted from the charts of HIV-positive patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Clinical chart extraction data and patient exit interview data can be linked to facility-level information from the ABCE Facility Survey.Jan 28, 2015

Ethiopia, Uganda
The Better Immunization Data Learning Network (BLN) recently hosted a webinar which elaborated on RED-QI (Reaching Every District incorporating Quality Improvement approaches). The “RED-QI” approach is a process that supports addressing larger priority problems (e.g. persistently high drop-out rates) using small, rapid, doable changes that can be quickly tested and evaluated for adoption, adaption, or abandonment at the local level.
