Users' capabilities related to the electronic RHIS for newborn and stillbirth indicators: quantitative and qualitative findings of the IMPULSE study across 151 sites in the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The electronic routine health information system (eRHIS) is crucial for policy and planning. However, its effectiveness depends on end-users' capabilities in utilising it. Using a mixed-methods approach, we evaluated end-users' data in the Central African Republic (CAR), Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda in one of the first standardised cross-country assessment of eRHIS users' capabilities focussed on newborn and stillbirth indicators.

Methods

We collected data in 12 regions and 3 city administrations between November 2022 and July 2024 using the Every Newborn-Measurement Improvement for Newborn & Stillbirth Indicators (EN-MINI) Performance of Routine Information System Management (PRISM) tools. All data but staff opinions were collected through direct observation. W
