The eight step change model in practice, a case study on medication error pri...Dr. Wazhma Hakimi
Medication Error Prioritization System (MEPS) is used to improve the quality care and the culture of patient safety within organizations. MEPS can be effective in identifying and controlling high hazard medication (e.g., narcotics and anti-coagulants) and expired medicine and it can help with reducing preventable medical errors including errors in prescriptions, inappropriate use of medication and their adverse effects. Preventable medical errors are the leading cause of death in many countries while two-thirds of such errors could have been prevented and the most successful error-reduction strategy is MEPS. Using the online MEPS database, pharmacists answer a series of questions to report a medication error, including medication name, type of error, and location of event. Then, it provides recommendations on prevention of error and has the ability to teach employees how to prevent the error in the future. In addition, it provides insight that how the organization can improve patient safety by reviewing medication errors. For introducing MEPS and its successful implementation, in this document I recommend the Kotter’s 8 Steps of Change Management Model which can be implemented step by step.

Improving Data for Decision-Making: Leveraging Data Quality Audits in Haryana...HFG Project
Resource Type: Report
Authors: Gajinder Pal Singh, Jordan Tuchman, and Michael P. Rodriguez
Published: May 31, 2014
Resource Description:
The Government of India has prioritized 184 of the 640 districts in the country for focused maternal and child health interventions under an integrated program called the Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) initiative. A key factor in the success of this initiative is the ability of the government to effectively track health outcomes through the routine collection of data from service delivery points across the high-priority districts.
The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)1 is responsible for monitoring RMNCH+A indicators across the country and has leveraged the rollout of a web-based national health management information (HMIS) for this purpose. In several states, another information system – the web-based District Health Information System (DHIS) 2.0 – is used. A number of reviews of the data produced through the national HMIS have indicated that there are data quality issues. However, there are limited reviews of data quality taking place across the NRHM facilities and no systematic assessment mechanism is currently in place.
To address these issues, the Haryana State NRHM partnered with the HFG Project to conduct a data quality audit (DQA) across four of the state’s high-priority districts. The DQA exercise took place in December 2013, beginning with a presentation of the methodology to a cadre of Haryana NRHM Program Managers, HMIS Officers, and District Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Officers. Presented here is a brief summary of the findings and recommendations, sorted by the five domains evaluated in the DQA exercise.
The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare in Bangladesh oversees a complex healthcare system with numerous affiliated organizations at the national, divisional, district, upazila, union, and community levels. It collaborates with directorates, hospitals, and departments to manage public health programs, service delivery, research, and workforce development. While Bangladesh has made progress in improving health indicators, its healthcare system faces challenges of limited rural access, underfunding, shortages of specialists, and high out-of-pocket costs. The growing private sector provides additional capacity but also increases inequities in access.

Currently, half of adolescent girls and one-fifth of boys are married, a quarter are already mothers, and contraceptive use is low. Nutritional deficiencies and poor access to education, especially for girls, also negatively impact adolescent health. The strategy aims to improve adolescent health through increasing access to information, counseling services, and an enabling and supportive environment. It outlines roles for various stakeholders and priorities for the program.
This document summarizes a term paper on critically analyzing Nepal's 2006 National Policy on Skilled Birth Attendance. It includes a recommendation letter, approval sheet, acknowledgements, and table of contents sections. The introduction provides background on Nepal's high maternal and neonatal mortality rates and the goal of the policy to increase skilled attendance at birth. It defines skilled birth attendants and outlines the policy's objectives, strategies, and institutional arrangements to strengthen training, deployment, and support for skilled birth attendants to improve health outcomes.
The document provides guidelines for human resource development procedures within the Ministry of Health in Kenya. It establishes several bodies responsible for coordinating training at the national and county levels, including the Authorized Officer, the Department of Human Resource Management and Development, and the Ministerial Human Resource Management Advisory Committee at the national level. The guidelines outline the composition and functions of these bodies, and provide standard operating procedures for key areas of human resource development such as planning and approval of training, bonding and scholarships, and monitoring and evaluation.

Essential Package of Health Services Country Snapshot Series: 24 Priority Cou...HFG Project
The document summarizes findings from analyzing essential packages of health services (EPHS) in 24 priority countries. Key findings include:
- 23 of 24 countries defined an EPHS, though specificity of packages varied. Most included the majority of priority reproductive and maternal health interventions.
- Countries delivered EPHS through community health workers and public facilities. Some used EPHS to standardize private sector provision.
- Governments addressed equity through EPHS-related policies on populations and financial protection, though mechanisms varied.
- Priority setting for EPHS appeared limited, with most listing all services rather than prioritizing based on resources. EPHS purposes also varied between guiding service delivery,

NITI Aayog has been mandated with transforming India by exercising thought leadership and by invoking the instruments of co-operative and competitive federalism, focusing the attention of the State Governments and Union Ministries on achieving outcomes. As the nodal agency responsible for charting India’s quest for attaining the commitments under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it was necessary to devise a mechanism for measuring outcomes particularly in the critical social sectors – such as Health and Education, where India’s record has been less than stellar. This was intended to provide
feedback to all stakeholders as to whether we are on course to what we have set out to achieve, and deviations, if any, to be pointed out in time to ensure necessary mid-course correction.

Preface
The RMNCH+A strategy encompasses all interventions aimed at Reproductive, Maternal,
New Born, Child and Adolescent Health under one broad umbrella with a focus on the life
cycle approach. To prioritize its implementation, a 5x5 matrix has been developed for the five
thematic areas of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health. The matrix
has been prepared on evidence based high impact interventions and also the cross-cutting
systemic support required for implementation.
The Government of India in partnership with the states and Development Partners is
constantly monitoring the performance and ways to improve RMNCH+A activities both at
the health facilities and in the community. However we did not have key performance and
quality indicators to quickly assess the level of progress. So a set of key performance and
quality indicators have been developed to monitor the progress of activities indicated under
the 5x5 matrix. I complement the Program Divisions of this Ministry and all the Development
Partners for their contribution in bringing out this document.
I believe, this will be helpful in facilitating the process of reaching the set goals and targets
for different thematic areas under the program and assist us to work together to accelerate
progress towards MDGs 4 and 5.

Foreword
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has developed a 5X5 matrix for the Reproductive,
Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) strategy, enlisting five high impact
interventions under each thematic area.
This matrix is a useful tool for programme managers and other stakeholders to monitor
the implementation of the interventions under each thematic area and strengthen the
implementation of the RMNCH+A strategy. Essential RCH Commodities have also been
enlisted to facilitate programme managers in ensuring their availability at health facilities.
A set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Quality Indicators (QIs) have also been
developed and consolidated into these documents. This would facilitate programme managers
at all levels to measure progress of activities under the 5X5 matrix both physical and in terms
of quality.
I expect that these indicators would be particularly useful to programme managers for
accelerating the progress of interventions in the 184 High Priority Districts identified by the
Government of India

Acknowledgement
The aim of introducing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Quality Indicators (QIs) document is to
provide a better understanding of the progress and performance of RMNCH+A implementation at state/
district level. If we see the service delivery figures for OPD, IPD, delivery, surgery etc., the quantum of
service delivery in terms of number has increased manifold at public health facilities. However, one of
our major challenges is to deliver quality services, which meets the aspirations of the clients.
The field visits reveals that there is a need for improving awareness about the standards of performances
among service providers. Therefore, in consultation with various program divisions, monitorable
indicators which can measure both the performance and the quality of services have been prepared.
The 5x5 matrix helps us in giving focused attention on different program activities and KPIs & QIs will
ensure its performance and quality aspects. Progress against KPIs and QIs needs to be shared during
RMNCH+A quarterly review meetings at district as well as state level for addressing identified gaps and
taking corrective actions to close the gaps.
The preparation of this document has been possible due to the active support and guidance provided
by Ms. Anuradha Gupta, Additional Secretary and Mission Director, National Health Mission, GOI
Mr. Manoj Jhalani, Joint Secretary(Policy) and Dr. Rakesh Kumar, Joint Secretary (RCH), National
Health Mission, GOI.
The contribution of all technical divisions under RCH is highly appreciated. The technical inputs from all
Development Partners particularly USAID, UNICEF, UNFPA, BMGF, DFID & JHPIEGO in preparing
the document were very helpful.
The efforts rendered by the team of experts at JSI, particularly, Dr. Rajesh Singh, Senior Technical
Advisor, Dr. Sebanti Ghosh and Dr. Sudhir Maknikar, National RMNCH+A Experts helped in finalizing
the guidelines after several revisions of the draft.
I also thank my Colleagues Dr. Manisha Malhotra, Dr. Dinesh Baswal and senior consultants Dr. Pushkar
Kumar, Dr. Rajeev Agarwal and Dr. Ravinder Kaur for their valuable inputs and support. The support
from the National Resource Unit (NRU) team is also appreciated.
I sincerely hope this document will help policy makers, state & district program officers to measure
and improve the service delivery through not only optimizing the performance but also enhancing the
quality.

13. Key Performance and Quality Indicators for High Impact RMNCH+A Interventions 1
Introduction
In February 2013, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government
of India (GoI), released a comprehensive Reproductive Maternal Newborn Child and
Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) strategy that was developed using a life-cycle and
continuum-of-care approach to meet the Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5. In
the year that followed, a series of other guidelines and handbooks on RMNCH+A have
been developed for better understanding of the strategy and for role clarification
among the Development Partners , state governments and other stakeholders.
Apart from these guidelines, the MoHFW also developed a RMNCH+A 5x5
matrix enlisting five high priority interventions under each thematic area. These
interventions have been proposed to be closely monitored by program managers and
other stakeholders for better performance monitoring. Alongside, a list of essential
commodities has been enlisted in order to ensure their availability in the facilities as
well as in the community.
In continuation of strengthening the implementation of RMNCH+A strategy, there
is a need to monitor the performance of high impact interventions identified in the
5x5 matrix. Setting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is a way to periodically assess
the performance of organizations, departments, employees, or programmes. Quality
indicators (QIs) are statistical measures that give an indication of output quality
or process quality. Accordingly, KPIs and QIs need to be defined in a way that is
understandable, meaningful, and measurable.
This booklet provides a list of KPIs and QIs that the MoHFW has developed to monitor
progress of high impact interventions identified in the RMNCH+A 5x5 matrix. These
indicators can be uniformly used by program managers at state, district and block level
across all over the country, with special focus on 184 high priority districts identified
by the GoI. It is proposed that the findings from the first round be considered as the
baseline and used to monitor the progress in the coming years.
14. Key Performance and Quality Indicators for High Impact RMNCH+A Interventions2
Guidance Notes
• Data will be collected, compiled and analysed on a quarterly basis for reporting
against the indicators mentioned in this booklet. The states will report the
progress made against the KPIs and QIs on a quarterly basis and in a prescribed
format. Appropriate software will be developed to facilitate online reporting.
• The findings from the first round will be considered as the baseline information
and used to monitor the progress in the coming years.
• In most cases, the data will be compiled at the block level and a cumulative
summary will be prepared at the district and the state level. The data would be
gathered and compiled using the following: Mother and Child Tracking System
(MCTS), routine Health Management Information System (HMIS), health facility
level records and registers, frontline worker records and registers, programme
and scheme specific reporting formats, training records, Anganwadi records, and
beneficiary survey (on a sample basis), in some specific cases.
• The states are encouraged to maintain district-wise segregated data and closely
monitor the progress against these indicators so that timely and quality data is
generated and used for informed decision making to improve RMNCH + A service
delivery.
• Similarly, the districts would maintain block-level disaggregated data and
undertake its regular review to take facilitative and corrective actions at the
periphery for improving the performance, with focus on quality.
• Designated supervisors at the state/district/block level would conduct data
validation during supportive supervision and/or block monitoring visits.
• Progress against KPIs and QIs needs to be shared during RMNCH+A quarterly
review meetings at the district and the state level for addressing gaps that have
been identified and required corrective actions.

ESB: Under the scheme, services of ASHAs will be utilised for counselling newly married couples to ensure delay
of two years in birth after marriage and to ensure couples with one child have spacing of three years after the
birth of the first child. The scheme is being implemented in 18 states of the country (eight Empowered Action
Group (EAG) states, eight North East (NE) states, Gujarat, and Haryana). ASHA would be paid following incentives
under the scheme:
• ` 500 for ensuring spacing of two years after marriage
• ` 500 for ensuring spacing of three years after the birth of the first child
• ` 1000 in case the couple opts for a permanent limiting method (up to two children only)
