Landscape analysis of health service quality–related information systems and practices and their links to health purchasing in Uganda
REFNo: SS1390ES

The main purpose is to take stock of existing and emerging systems and practices for promoting, measuring, and rewarding health service quality. This will involve conducting a rapid landscaping of quality-related information systems, initiatives, and practices in Uganda’s health system, using the adapted ThinkWell’s Rapid Landscaping Tool. The study is not intended to carry out a quality assessment but rather taking stock of the current systems and their ways.

Specific objectives: The Cooperation for Evaluation Research and Training (CERT) firm, has been hired by ThinkWell to populate the landscaping tool with information on:
a. The current systems and practices that promote, measure and reward quality of health services
b. Existing opportunities for designing purchasing policies in ways that promote the delivery of high-quality services
