Description: 127 pISBN: 9290611065Subject(s): Health planning | Information services | Management information systems | Information Systems and CommunicationNLM classification: Z 699.5.M39Online resources: Click here to access online Abstract: Provides guidelines, based on practical experience in Western Pacific countries, for the development of information systems as an aid to the more effective management of health services. Emphasizing the complexities involved in efforts to improve the timeliness, quality, accessibility and use of health-related data, the book aims to help health authorities and senior managers think through all steps of the planning process before any decisions are made or resources committed. The book has two parts. The first, concerned with the development of a major system for health information, takes readers step-by-step through the various activities needed for thorough planning. Readers receive advice on how to calculate costs, estimate staff needs, conduct a situation analysis, identify the types and forms of data needed by different users, conduct a situation analysis, finalize project plans, and understand which technical computing tasks will be required. Details range from advice on how to approach donors to a list of the main types of routine statistical tables that should be generated by the system. The second part explains how a national system for health information can be coordinated with other, smaller information systems, such as those for hospitals, finance, human resource management, specific diseases, epidemiological monitoring, and systems for collecting and storing data on individual patients. The book concludes with a series of practical exercise designed to facilitate understanding of key components in the planning process.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
