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.

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
