Interoperability: Connecting RBF and HMIS data

Better measurement of results at national, regional and global level

Why a single standard taxonomy of health results is important

Reliable data matters for decision making and accountability at all levels

Routine data

National level : Connecting RBF to National HIS: • Brings verified data, data on quality of care, patient

satisfaction and financing in HIS systems• Reduces parallel data entry processes

Example of the current situation: Multiple and not standardized definitions of health indicators. Extreme complexity to link systems

Our proposal : A single taxonomy for aggregated data

Proposal: Set up a standard taxonomy for health system outputs and results.

Make the standard taxonomy available on the web (WHO, OpenRBF, DHIS2, OpenHDD) and regional/governmental websites

Implement this taxonomy in RBF and HMIS data systems i.e. Benin, Burkina, Senegal, Laos, DRC,…

In practice : A database with a standard codification and definitions of health outputs that indicates the date, location, type of output/result in a health system.

Why a standard taxonomy matters

Facilitates RBF and HMIS interoperability at national level

Facilitates the tracking of results and funding in national multi-donor RBF platforms (Benin, Burundi, DRC,…)

Facilitates regional integration of aggregated data systems (HMIS or RBF)

Facilitates the set up of a global data warehouse for health results connected to national routine data systems (HMIS, RBF and others data systems)

Facilitates the set up a global RBF financing platform

The taxonomy will link with existing efforts

In relation with the multi-agency working group and current harmonization processes and data initiatives

• OpenHIE • ICPC (WHO)• IATI standard. International aid transparency

Diseases • Service Delivery Indicators (SDI)
