A problem-oriented systems approach to primary care system development: development and initial testing of the problem-oriented primary care system development record.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is significant global policy interest related to enabling a data-driven approach for evidence-based primary care system development. This paper describes the development and initial testing of a prototype tool (the Problem-Oriented Primary Care System Development Record, or PCSDR) that enables a data-driven and contextualized approach to primary care system development.

Methods

The PCSDR is an electronic record that enables the systematic input, classification, structuring, storage, processing and analysis of different types of data related to the structure, function and performance of primary care systems over time. Data inputted into the PCSDR was coded using the WHO's PHC-IMPACT framework and classification system. The PCSDR's functionalities were tested
