  1. Establishing interoperability between human resources and health management information system in India:  Opportunities and Challenges Bhawna Yadav HRIS Specialist 2 october 2014

  2. Need of Public Health Information Systems • To Develop policies and plans • To Monitor health status individuals and community • To Inform, educate, and empower people about health issues • To assure a competent public health and personal health care workforce.

  3. Examples of Current System • Human Resource Management Information System • Hospital Information System • District Health Information System • Mother and Child Tracking System

  4. Current Gaps and Issues • Vertical information systems developed by individual States and programs • These systems do not exchange any information • These systems do not support integrated decision making for public health planning management • Sub optimal efficiency and use of information systems

  5. Establishing Interoperability: Objectives • To be able to map common data elements. • To allow these system to exchange data and convert it into useful information • To be able to compare and analyze crosscutting data from different systems To develop combined dashboards to support decision making

  6. Interoperability between iHRIS and DHIS2 - An example from Bihar

  7. Defining Interoperability The ability of two or more systems to exchange information Fu Fundamental& Syntactic/ Structural In Interoperability

  8. Defining Interoperability The ability to use the information that has been exchanged Semantic Interoperability

  9. Background • State Health Society, Bihar (SHSB) decided to establish a web-based HR Management Information System in July 2010 • Used an open source application, iHRIS Manage • Received technical assistance from IntraHealth International in collaboration with NHSRC and HISP India • SHSB and Intrahealth envisaged integration of the state’s health management information system and the state’s human resource information system.

  10. Specific Objectives • To compare and analyze human resource data with service delivery data for decision making to inform Program Planning and Management • To identify Generic Data Elements in both the systems and make them interoperable • To be able to measure the impact of health workforce on service delivery and use combined data to improve population health outcomes • To develop reports and analysis tools which helps in planning and decision making

  11. Human Resource & Service Delivery Indicators • Human Resource Health Services Health Outcome Indicators/Data

  12. Key Steps Promote use of Combined Data

  13. Establishing Interoperability -Technical Prerequisites • Organization Unit Synchronization • Hosting the Interoperable Application • User Level Authentication • Filtering Indicators

  14. Organization Unit Synchronization • Identify Common data elements • Facility Mapping was done taking DHIS as source • Establishing mechanism for Synronization of facilities in HRIS and DHIS

  15. Hosting the Interoperable Application • Both the application are hosted at different server • A common dashboard developed which takes information from both the systems • A common interface for the end user to enter the sytems

  16. User Level Authentication and Functional Flow

  17. Filtering Indicators • Set of Indicators for which data has to be transferred from HRIS to DHIS for cross cutting analysis. • Set of Reports in HRIS which will be used for transferring data for desired indicators to DHIS.

  18. Work in Progress • Developed Requirement Study Report • Set Indicators and Reports • Developed Dashboard with crosscutting data indicator reports • Facility Mapping

  19. Challenges • Mapping Facility • Multiple Stakeholder • Name based tracking • Link to individual Performance • Adding Population based data

  20. Next Steps • Generating reports on interoperable data • Building an common interface for the end user • Building for use over data • Build capacity and promote use of combined dash board data

  21. Potential Opportunities • Demonstration of integrated use of data from different systems for program planning and management • Improved quality and synergy of data • Integration with other health information systems • Greater efficiency, better use of human and financial resources in the long run Improvement in quality and coverage of services and health outcomes
