View Award Description

Enhance the use of Human Resources for Health (HRH) data for evidence-based decision making on health workforce management and strategic planning within the South African Department of Health - Health Information Systems Program South Africa (HISP-SA), and IntraHealth International are pleased to present this proposal to enhance the use of Human Resources for Health (HRH) data for evidence-based decision making on health workforce management and strategic planning within the South African National and Provincial Departments of Health (N/PDoH). We will achieve this by supporting the design, development, and implementation of interoperable components of a Human Resources Information System (HRIS) that will provide high quality and timely HRH data at national, provincial, district, and health facility levels. In this proposal we have detailed activities linked to 5 strategies, namely i) strengthen HRH registry to inform strategic workforce management decisions; ii) strengthen the Health Professionals Council of South Africa (HPCSA) regulatory information system; iii) operationalize interoperability between HRIS sub-systems; iv) establish a functional HRH data warehouse; v) develop and implement protocol and training material data quality improvement and use. We present a strong team of thought leaders in both HRH information systems and HRH practice management domains. Our team has provided support to the N/PDoH for over five years and has established a trusted relationship with managers at both national and provincial levels. We have fostered strong relationships with the 3 Statutory Councils responsible for licensing of professionals, the 14 Nursing Colleges, and the 23 universities that train health workers in South Africa. Over the last 3 years HISP-SA has supported the NDoH to establish the Intern and Community Service Program (ICSP) system which is being used by young qualified health professionals to enter the public health workforce. Development of the ICSP system has highlighted a number of challenges, such as a need to establish simple data sharing routines between stakeholders and the NDoH, critical challenges in data quality, an absence of standardized databases, and low levels of understanding the basic principles of information management. Furthermore, while significant improvements have recently been made, data exchange between systems is still manual. This situation is exacerbated by significant staff shortages, absence of high quality and stable projections data, and a complex environment characterized by intense political interest and financial constraints. The proposal demonstrates our extensive expertise in addressing challenges such as those highlighted above. Our team has over 20 years of experience in applying standardized and best practice approaches to improve data quality and build capacity for improved use of information in support of program goals. Our partner, IntraHealth International brings to South Africa its extensive experience of HRH Information Systems development in other countries, as well as its experience in developing standardized information exchange within the Open Health Information Exchange (OpenHIE) community. A key aspect of our proposal is the emphasis on capacity building (CB). To this end, we have allowed for an additional Technical Lead for Capacity Building with the purpose of ensuring that skills transfer to HRH Practitioners takes place at all levels of the health system. The project staffing and management approach has been designed in an innovative fashion, ensuring it mirrors the NDoH’s own internal structures for optimal support, while also delivering on a matrix staffing structure. This ensures a focus not only on the delivery of high quality technical solutions/products, but that the product development streams view each solution holistically, while also ensuring solutions are not siloed.
