Health Systems Strengthening Project Sample Clauses

Health Systems Strengthening Project. The objective of the Health Systems Strengthening Project is to improve the delivery of health services and management of the primary health care system in Lesotho resulting in improved health outcomes. The project’s theory of change, as shown below, starts with selecting interventions to change critical institutional behavioral factors of key people in the health system. The project aims to improve the patient registration and referral systems by improving staff competencies and supervision, integrating budgeting and financial systems, and improving coordination across all levels of health care staff in Lesotho. District level health staff will have the capacity and be empowered to make more effective use of health resources and use data for decision making. In addition, because of the improved referral system, those seeking health services will find care more easily and will not have to seek harder and more expensive to access care at central hospitals. Finally, the HSS Project will utilize Results Based Financing to promote accountability and incentivize improved quality of primary health care services. This will improve the ability of staff at all levels to deliver better primary care services. Key assumptions have to do with the institutional change within the Ministry of Health (MOH). The theory of change assumes that the central MOH will disburse funds to the district levels in a timely and organized manner, and that they will implement the supportive supervision components. We also assume that the performance incentives are structured correctly to catalyze change in the way the MOH implements primary health. We also assume that these improvements to the primary health care system will lead to observable improvements in health outcomes for people in Lesotho. In the long term, this is expected to lead to increased labor productivity, improved cost efficiency of MOH expenditure, and a reduction in household medical and associated expenses. These expected long term outcomes will not be measured as part of the evaluation.

Health Systems Strengthening Project. The HSS Project will implement policy and institutional reforms that are expected to strengthen the health system in ways that indirectly improve the quality and efficiency of health service delivery, which in turn is expected to result in improved health outcomes (reduced mortality and morbidity) and cost savings. The cost benefit analysis (CBA) applies the Value of Statistical Life concept to value forecast mortalities averted and a cost-of-illness approach to value forecast morbidities averted (reduction in non-fatal illnesses) because of the investment. The CBA explicitly incorporates the benefits of GBV prevention and treatment expected to result from the investment.
