- Open AccessDrivers and Barriers to Improved Data Quality and Data-Use Practices: An Interpretative Qualitative Study in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaHibret Tilahun, Biruk Abate, Hiwot Belay, Abebaw Gebeyehu, Mohammed Ahmed, Akiliu Simanesew, Wondimu Ayele, Afrah Mohammedsanni, Barbara Knittel and Yakob WondaradGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2100689; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00689
The Ethiopia government’s implementation of strategies to improve data quality, as outlined in its Information Revolution Roadmap, has led to higher data quality and improved data use, but barriers to optimal data-use practices must be addressed to create a culture of information use.
- Open AccessLessons Learned From the Capacity-Building and Mentorship Program to Improve Health Information Systems in 11 Districts of EthiopiaHiwot Belay, Afrah Mohammedsanni, Abebaw Gebeyehu, Hibret Alemu, Naod Wendrad, Biruk Abate, Wubshet Denboba, Frehiwot Mulugeta, Shemsedin Omer and Barbara KnittelGlobal Health: Science and Practice September 2022, 10(Supplement 1):e2100690; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00690
Health information systems strengthening interventions, such as the capacity-building and mentorship program used, leverages the expertise of stakeholders from multiple disciplines and can help improve data quality and information use at health facilities.
