Mechanisms for stimulating facility quality improvement
Tanzania launched the nationwide Star Rating Assessment in 2015 and has implemented it as a cornerstone of its national quality improvement program. We use variation in assessment results to explore mechanisms through which facilities improve quality. A mixed-methods positive deviance approach was applied by ranking all primary care facilities included in the Star Rating Assessment (n = 5,595) by their change in score between 2015/16 and 2017/18.…
How and why does mode of birth affect processes for routine data collection and use? A qualitative study in Bangladesh and Tanzania
The World Health Organization recognises Routine Health Information System (RHIS) data as integral to data-driven health systems; needed to improve intrapartum outcomes for maternal and newborn health worldwide. However, research in Bangladesh and Tanzania suggests that mode of birth affects register data accuracy, but little is known about why. To address this gap, we undertook qualitative research in these two public-sector health systems. We c…

Consequently, we have explored the ch…
