HHFA Quality of care record review questionnaire adaptation workshop package1 Topic
Participants 72
We have seen that the goal of the HHFA is to use the information obtained from the survey to inform decisions that will strengthen the health service delivery system.
Successful implementation of Step 6 – Interpret, communicate and use – is therefore critical to the success of the HHFA. However, ALL 7 key steps of the HHFA are important in reaching the HHFA goal.
Problems in any step can have repercussions on the steps following it, and can impact the quality and usefulness of the information produced by the HHFA.
Click each of the following steps for examples.
STEP 1
In step 1, the inclusion of modules and questions that are not relevant to the objectives of the country HHFA will impact on the cost and potentially on the quality of the survey. Furthermore, unnecessary content can also contribute to ‘background noise’ that can undermine recognition and understanding of important ‘signals’ within the HHFA data.
STEP 2
In step 2, inadequate adaptation of the questionnaire to the country context can result in incorrect understanding of the questions by data collectors and key informants, with a consequent impact on data quality.Â
STEPS 3 and 4
In steps 3 and 4, data that are not adequately collected because data collectors were not properly trained, will result in inaccurate findings.
STEPS 5 and 6
In steps 5 and 6, data that are not correctly analysed and interpreted will lead to incorrect conclusions and recommendations; and data that are not effectively communicated to the right audiences will not be used and will result in a waste of resources and time.
STEP 7
Finally, in step 7, if HHFA data and reports are not properly archived and managed, the data can be lost, with missed opportunities for making maximum use of the findings.
