Background

HIS SOCI assessment process

The process of conducting an HIS Stages of Continuous Improvement (SOCI) assessment is a highly collaborative and comprehensive endeavor which typically takes several weeks to complete. The assessment aims to evaluate and strengthen a country’s health information system (HIS) by assembling a group of experts to provide scores for the different HIS SOCI subcomponents and facilitating consensus building across all subcomponents of the five key domains. While the HIS SOCI website serves as a valuable tool for collecting and visualizing user inputs, it is important to note that the website is just one part of the overall assessment process.

In general, an HIS SOCI assessment begins with a government agency or another authority expressing interest in improving its HIS. The responsibility for conducting the assessment is then delegated to an organization or individual. Then the first step is to assemble a group of stakeholders with expertise in the five domains measured by the HIS SOCI assessment tool.

The process entails individual and collective assessments of the country’s HIS by gathering data on current status and future goals for each subcomponent within the domains. This data is then analyzed and consolidated to reach a consensus on the overall HIS stage of development. The assessment leadership team conducts stakeholder consultations, discusses findings, and works together to finalize the consensus scores for each subcomponent, domain, and the overall system.

To reinforce the consensus-building process, a multistep approach is encouraged. This approach involves assigning each domain to different groups to assess specific domains in detail, consolidating their findings in small groups, and seeking input from other groups in plenary sessions for general consensus building.

Throughout the assessment process, facilitators and participants should collaborate closely to ensure accuracy and alignment with the assessment’s objectives. An HIS SOCI assessment requires careful consideration, in-depth discussions, and strategic planning to generate meaningful results supported by strong evidence and a comprehensive improvement roadmap.

Given the complexities involved in assessing and strategizing improvements for an HIS, a typical HIS SOCI assessment may take several weeks to complete depending on the scope and scale of the evaluation. Effective communication, well-structured meetings, and efficient data sharing are crucial for the successful completion of the assessment.

Steps for a successful SOCI assessment

Here, we outline the key steps involved in a SOCI aAssessment.

Step 1: Small group assessments

Before the consensus assessment begins, individuals are required to complete small group assessments for one or more HIS domains. A small group assessment is defined by either an individual or small group assessment. Your group facilitator will assign you specific domains to assess. For each domain, you will evaluate the current status, set future goals, and provide supporting evidence and comments to justify your assessments.

Step 2: Consensus assessment

As a group, you will complete the consensus assessment based on the scores and evidence provided in the small group assessments. This phase involves collaborative discussions and stakeholder consultations through a multi-step process to reach a collective consensus on final scores.

Step 3: Assembling your improvement roadmap

After completing the consensus assessment, the next step is to create your improvement roadmap. This involves adding improvement roadmap activities to address identified priorities. Refer to the Prioritization page to focus your efforts appropriately and set achievable goals.

Step 4: Assembling your report

Once your improvement roadmap is complete, the next task is to compile the assessment report. If you need support in completing the report, you can download and complete the Process Documentation Template file to send to CHISU. Alternatively, you can use the Assessment Report Template to prepare your assessment report.

Step 5: Submit your completed report

If you wish to have your finalized report included in the “Reports” page of this website for public access, please submit it using the provided link.

The Assessment Hub serves as your gateway to the various components of the SOCI assessment, allowing you to navigate through each step seamlessly and contribute effectively to the improvement of health information systems.

Small group assessments

Conducting small group assessments is a crucial step in the HIS SOCI assessment process, where individual participants evaluate the current status of their HIS domains and subcomponents. This section will guide you through the process of completing small group assessments effectively.

Understanding the small group assessment

Small group assessment involves evaluating the current status of each HIS domain and its subcomponents based on specific criteria. You will be presented with questions related to the following aspects for each subcomponent.

For Facilitators:

As a facilitator, you play a crucial role in capturing activities on the HIS SOCI online tool within the improvement roadmap section. Here’s how to guide your group participants effectively.

Prioritizing HIS interventions and addressing gender integration gaps

To optimize the planning process, participants are encouraged to conduct prioritization in two steps. Firstly, prioritize the HIS interventions within each domain, and then prioritize them across all HIS domains.

The resulting scores will reveal the current status of the HIS and highlight the identified future goals. Use the measurement scale to identify gaps between the current and desired status, and outline specific steps to progress towards improved HIS performance.

When selecting interventions, it is crucial to distinguish between tasks and interventions. HIS interventions refer to a comprehensive package of activities aimed at addressing specific identified gaps and working towards the desired future goals.

Furthermore, the digital HIS SOCI tool automatically generates a gender analysis table with detailed scores for key subcomponents. It is essential to address gender integration gaps observed from the gender analysis table in your planning process.

By following this systematic approach, you can enhance the planning process, effectively prioritize interventions, and promote gender integration in the HIS.

Compiling your assessment report

As a group participant, with guidance from the facilitator, your active involvement is essential in compiling this significant report. Once you have completed the Improvement phase, the subsequent step is creating the assessment report. It is essential to produce a report documenting the process and experience of conducting the assessment and activities involved. If you wish to receive support from CHISU in completing the report, please download, complete, and send CHISU the Process Documentation Template file, following the instructions provided.
