As already seen in Module 2 Unit 1, sub-sections in the readiness modules are most commonly organized around information on:

  • service availability;
  • site conditions;
  • equipment;
  • medicines and commodities; and
  • support for quality.

For the category of service availability, the questions are different in each section. Information is usually collected through an interview with staff in the health facility about the services provided.

Questions do not pose particular challenges to the respondent, and the data collector generally just needs to select a coded answer, without any need to observe items or situations.

The remaining categories (site conditions, equipment, medicines and commodities, and support for quality) pose more challenges. The challenges are related to the following issues.

1. Data that all data collectors need to collect:

Some of the categories, such as site conditions, are asked in the same way across many questionnaire sections. This results in most data collectors having to collect exactly the same data regardless of which sections of the questionnaire they are assigned to collect at the health facility.

2. Data collection requiring observation:

Data on availability and conditions of the service site in the HHFA are collected through observation whenever possible. This requires that data collectors share a uniform understanding of:

  • how to assess and record physical site conditions.
  • how to identify and record availability of items; and
3. Observations requiring assessment:

Some of the observations require data collectors to record if the service site meets particular conditions.

There is some degree of subjectivity in this level of assessment.
