Description
This didactic panel aims to share global and country-specific experiences in implementing national digital health and health information system (HIS) assessment tools to facilitate the transition from data to knowledge to action-namely the Global Digital Health Index, HIS Stages for Continuous Improvement, and the HIS Interoperability Maturity Model. The panel presentations and discussion are targeted toward policy makers, health managers and health informaticians engaged in design and use of digital health technologies to inform data-based decision making at the policy, program and service delivery levels. Discussion is expected to focus on emerging trends and findings from the assessments and what the global health and HIS community can do collectively to address them.
Learning Objective: 1) Describe the value proposition of digital health and health information system maturity assessment tools
2) Describe different tools/models available to assess progress in strengthening health information system (HIS) implementations in resource-constrained settings.
2) Better understand how to use maturity assessment tools
