Data Quality in South Sudan’s Routine Health Information System: A Baseline Assessment
This study assesses the completeness, timeliness and accuracy of routine health data across 45 facilities in three states, identifying systemic gaps and proposing practical improvement interventions led by trained health information officers.<p>Data Quality in South Sudan’s Routine Health Information System: A Baseline Assessment is part of the South Sudan Health Informatics Association’s peer-reviewed research programme — work that sits at the heart of the association’s mission to strengthen the health information foundations of the national health system. The study is categorised under clinical and was published through the association’s double-blind peer review pipeline, with methodology, findings and reference apparatus documented in the full record.</p><p>The association’s approach combines three elements that its field evidence shows matter most: certified people, disciplined routines and practical tools. Its training programme certifies health workers in data collection, quality assurance and data use; its mentorship network embeds those skills in county practice through supportive supervision; and its published standards and guidelines give every facility a common professional language for recording, checking and acting on information.</p><p>Members and partners are encouraged to engage directly with this work. Members can join the mentorship network, contribute to the knowledge base, and enrol in certified courses at preferential rates. Institutional partners can explore collaboration windows through the partnership pages, and county health departments can request mentorship support through the association’s programme offices. Progress across all association programmes is reported openly through the transparency and accountability pages, in keeping with the publication discipline the association asks of the health system itself.</p><p>For further information, updates and participation opportunities, follow the association’s News Centre, browse the training catalogue and mentorship programmes, or contact the secretariat directly through the Contact Us page.
