BACKGROUND/ RATIONALE

Page 4: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

Background/ Rationale Builds on 10 years of work developing a

comprehensive workforce information system in Kenya

HR information systems (HRIS) are a critical tool to help MOH and other stakeholders target scarce resources to scale-up and retain health workers

Significant global investment in HR information systems (HRIS) by major global health initiatives

Need for a systematic review of approaches to HRIS to help develop an evidence -base to guide HRIS implementation globally in HRH “crises” vs. non-crises countries

system for tracking the supply and deployment of the health workforce for strategic and operational health and HR decision-making

OBJECTIVES

Page 7: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

OBJECTIVES Review and systematically characterize the

implementation of HRIS in countries around the world

Identify models and features of HRIS applicable to crisis and non-crisis countries

Offer recommendations to ministries of health and global health policy makers on how to improve the science and application of HRIS

Review Process Screening of articles Assignment of articles to review pairs* Abstraction tool, with guidance

Individual abstraction record Joint abstraction record Country composite abstraction record

Entered data into Epi-Info database Aggregated results by WHO HR “crisis” and

“non-crisis” countries

* Reviewers did not review articles for which they were listed as an author

RESULTS

Page 15: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

RESULTS 11,922 articles were initially

identified in the peer reviewed and grey literature

After applying our exclusion criteria, 95 articles remained, representing HRIS from 65 countries and regions 32 WHO-designated HRH “crisis” countries 31 non-crisis countries Regional systems identified in Southeast Asia,

Mercosur, and the Pacific Islands

DOCUMENTATION OF KEY HRIS FEATURES IN COUNTRIES

REVIEWED

Data Collection Data Mgmt Data Utilization

Page 17: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

RESULTS General

“Unclear” was the most common response for 11 of 16 indicators displayed for crisis and non-crisis countries

No consistent reporting framework for HRIS Expected trends in features based on economic

development (crisis v. non-crisis countries)

Supply Data A high percentage of crisis and non-crisis countries

documented collecting workforce supply data generally (63% and 74%, respectively)

But collection of health worker qualifications and professional credentialing and demographic data was much more limited

Page 18: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

RESULTS Deployment Data

High percentage of crisis and non-crisis countries reported as collecting demand data generally (63% and 87%, respectively)

However, specific features of deployment data was much more limited: Workforce Attrition: Only 23% of 65 HRIS

examined explicitly collect data on workforce attrition Private, non-profit, and faith-based sectors:

documented in only 34% of HRIS reviewed (28% in crisis countries, 39% in non-crisis countries)

DOCUMENTATION OF KEY HRIS FEATURES IN COUNTRIES

REVIEWED

Data Collection Data Mgmt Data Utilization

Page 20: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

RESULTS Data Management

Linkages: 14% of countries documenting an established link between supply and deployment data, 11% linked to payroll, and 34% linked HRIS to an overall health information system

Data cleaning and accuracy: 6% of crisis countries and 19% of non-crisis countries reported methods for ensuring this component of an HRIS

Data Utilization The use of HRIS for identifying licensed practitioners,

making deployment decisions, and other planning and evaluation was limited, especially in crisis countries

Sustainability and Ownership Notable ambiguity with respect to the sustainability,

ownership, and endorsement of HRIS by local stakeholders (e.g. MOH)

Page 21: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

LIMITATIONS The review could only abstract features of

HRIS that are documented in publicly available literature

Of the documented HRIS, it was frequently unclear whether specific features of an HRIS were present, absent, or lacked written description

Nearly one-half of the documents were based on HMN assessment tool for HIS, which were inconsistent in reporting HRIS features

DISCUSSION

Page 23: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

DISCUSSION Despite global calls to action and significant

global investment in HRIS, there is a dearth of information on country experience, particularly in the peer-reviewed literature

Reporting emphasizes generation of supply and deployment data generation, but few reports of effective data management techniques and the use of this information for resource allocation and program planning

Page 24: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

DISCUSSION The small number of documented HRIS

collection of demographic data prohibits basic HR planning (e.g. age trends analysis)

The lack of attrition data (e.g. outmigration) limits countries from reporting related to the WHO code of ethical recruitment

Global inability to monitor health workforce from more than one sector impedes national sector-wide health planning, which is especially important where HR is in critical shortage

PROMISING DOCUMENTED HRIS MODELS

Promising models were those that were well documented in the literature and whose features were well articulated. Based on a method of scoring the abstraction records, we identified the following: Non-crisis countries: Canada, U.S., Brazil Crisis countries: Kenya, Malawi, and Swaziland

Page 26: Patrici a Riley,  CNM, MPH, FACNM, CAPT (Ret) Division of Global HIV/AIDS

RECOMMENDATIONS Greater global consensus on standardized

approaches to HRIS implementation and key features of HRIS, to improve implementation, with: A focus on crisis countries Emphasis on effective data management

and use Descriptive research of HRIS

implementation, including promising models and key features, to understand what successful approaches work in specific health systems contexts

Consistent framework for HRIS assessment and reporting (e.g. HMN HIS tool modification)
