This session explores the critical role of integrating health facility profiles and broader self-assessment tools-such as service availability and readiness-into national Health Management Information Systems (HMIS). Traditionally, this type of data has been collected through periodic, ad hoc surveys that are often costly, time-consuming, and quickly outdated. We will showcase how countries are moving toward embedding this information into routine systems using DHIS2, allowing for more sustainable, timely, and actionable data flows.
Participants will hear experiences from national implementations where facility profile information has been successfully incorporated into DHIS2, supporting planning, supervision, service delivery monitoring, and resource allocation. We will also discuss how DHIS2 tools-including custom forms, program rules, indicators, and dashboards-can be used to support facility assessments and ensure alignment with national and global data standards.
Whether you are working on service availability mapping, readiness assessments, or facility performance monitoring, this session will provide practical insights into using DHIS2 not just as a reporting tool, but as a strategic platform for facility-level decision-making. We will also reflect on the integration of other digital tools and datasets to complement the DHIS2-based approach.
Join us to explore how a more routine, systematized approach to health facility profiles can improve health system management and accountability.
