Health System Strengthening Sample Clauses

Health System Strengthening. During Q1, HFA coordinated a four-day workshop to draft the National Roadmap for DHIS2 (and Open LMIS) in conjunction with GTI and GEPE, bringing on board PSI/Global experts and local staff. During the workshop, representatives from MOH, donors, and partners learned about the relevance of coordinating national efforts to improve the health information system and to avoid duplication of tasks and waste of resources. Working together, all participants identified the timelines and budget needs for developing the different components of DHIS2. After the workshop, HFA worked separately with different partners to identify the financial resources each one will contribute to DHIS2 implementation, integrating that information into the final version of the Road Map, which was immediately shared with USAID for comments and inputs. It must be noted that the Road Map produced in Q1 was used by NMCP and MOH as a reference to develop the Angolan proposal for the next round of the Global Fund Health System Strengthening concept note. Using the jointly drafted Road Map as general framework, HFA also developed the following products/ activities during Q1, all aiming at having a fully DHIS2 platform by the end of the FY2018:

Health System Strengthening. Using the DHIS2 Road Map as a reference and the subsequent HFA implementation plan, targets for Q2 will focus on training key personnel prior to the roll out in all six provinces; for example, training 6 TOTs, plus 2 people at central level (GTI/GEPE). During Q3 and Q4, training of municipal and provincial personnel will take place in three provinces each quarter. Although it is expected that DHIS2 will be fully implemented by the end of Q4, many municipalities will still be adjusting to the new platform, so a conservative target of 70% was established for municipal reports submitted on time. It is also expected that at least 70% of the municipal authorities in the six PMI provinces will meet at least quarterly with provincial level authorities to analyze reports and make decisions based on DHIS2 information. To achieve targets for Q2, the following activities are envisioned for January-March 2018: ✓ Continue the improvement/configuration of official malaria and other disease forms. ✓ Hire and train six TOTs for the six PMI provinces. ✓ Start implementation in three out six provinces on a first phase (provinces will be defined by GTI/GEPE, in coordination with USAID and PSI). In Q3 and Q4, HFA expects to finalize the DHIS2 implementation in the remaining three provinces. ✓ By the end of the FY18 (when DHIS2 is fully operational), an evaluation of the DHIS2 platform will be planned to adjust for improvements and to fix errors. ✓ Coordinate a Health Technological Camp to identify current informational tools used in the private and public sectors that can potentially be integrated into or linked to the DHIS2 platform, in order to enrich the National Health Information System. ✓ Develop the Study Design and get Ethical Approval for the iCCM evaluation. Fieldwork for a baseline survey will be conducted using existing tools to evaluate the new geographical areas to be covered by the ADECOS program (Zaire and Lunda Sul provinces). ✓ Develop the Study Design and get Ethical Approval for an operational research on Southeast Asian migrants in Angola, to understand health seeking behavior in case of fever and malaria symptoms. ✓ In coordination with NCMP and CDC, HFA will conduct a Rapid Urban Malaria Assessment (XXXX) to improve understanding of urban malaria epidemiology, evaluate health facility readiness for outbreaks, and the accuracy of diagnosis of febrile illnesses. The geographical area is yet to be defined, and is pending final approval from MOH.

Health System Strengthening. 108. The CHAPS model introduced interventions in health system strengthening to complement the six technical interventions. These included training in management components such as logistics management and health information management, establishment of regular work planning and monitoring, and emphasis on regular and supportive supervision. While Project Hope Malawi had previously been involved with extensive program implementation particularly at the community and health center levels, the focus on management and system strengthening was new. Similarly, the districts had not previously partnered with NGOs to strengthen their management systems. As a result, the new relationship presented challenges both in scope of influence and establishment of trust.

  • Health Screening The Contractor shall conduct a Health Needs Screen (HNS) for new members that enroll in the Contractor’s plan. The HNS will be used to identify the member’s physical and/or behavioral health care needs, special health care needs, as well as the need for disease management, care management and/or case management services set forth in Section 3.8. The HNS may be conducted in person, by phone, online or by mail. The Contractor shall use the standard health screening tool developed by OMPP, i.e., the Health Needs Screening Tool, but is permitted to supplement the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool with additional questions developed by the Contractor. Any additions to the OMPP Health Needs Screening Tool shall be approved by OMPP. The HNS shall be conducted within ninety (90) calendar days of the Contractor’s receipt of a new member’s fully eligible file from the State. The Contractor is encouraged to conduct the HNS at the same time it assists the member in making a PMP selection. The Contractor shall also be required to conduct a subsequent health screening or comprehensive health assessment if a member’s health care status is determined to have changed since the original screening, such as evidence of overutilization of health care services as identified through such methods as claims review. Non-clinical staff may conduct the HNS. The results of the HNS shall be transferred to OMPP in the form and manner set forth by OMPP. As part of this contract, the Contractor shall not be required to conduct HNS for members enrolled in the Contractor’s plan prior to January 1, 2017 unless a change in the member’s health care status indicates the need to conduct a health screening. For purposes of the HNS requirement, new members are defined as members that have not been enrolled in the Contractor’s plan in the previous twelve (12) months. Data from the HNS or NOP form, current medications and self-reported medical conditions will be used to develop stratification levels for members in Hoosier Healthwise. The Contractor may use its own proprietary stratification methodology to determine which members should be referred to specific care coordination services ranging from disease management to complex case management. OMPP shall apply its own stratification methodology which may, in future years, be used to link stratification level to the per member per month capitation rate. The initial HNS shall be followed by a detailed Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool (CHAT) by a health care professional when a member is identified through the HNS as having a special health care need, as set forth in Section 4.2.4, or when there is a need to follow up on problem areas found in the initial HNS. The detailed CHAT may include, but is not limited to, discussion with the member, a review of the member’s claims history and/or contact with the member’s family or health care providers. These interactions shall be documented and shall be available for review by OMPP. The Contractor shall keep up-to-date records of all members found to have special health care needs based on the initial screening, including documentation of the follow-up detailed CHAT and contacts with the member, their family or health care providers.
