Presentation outline
• Role of health facility mapping/assessment:– What is it, what it does and what does not do
• Differences between health facility mapping and population based surveys
• Key approaches to health facility mapping:– Service Availability Mapping (SAM)– Service Provision Assessment (SPA)– Health Facility Census (HFC)– VCT and PMTCT mapping
• Conclusion

Definition
• Facility: Any site where clients receive formal sector health services – May includes temporary sites/outreach
service sites– Includes stand-alone VCT; maternity homes;
hospices– Includes private doctor offices (limited
availability of information thus far)

Why collect data on HF
• Huge investments in the formal health sector:– Construction and infrastructure development– Procurement of equipment and supplies– Procurement of medicines– Training – Pilot projects to strengthen service delivery and
systems (for specific services)

7What are the key questions
answered by HF data?• Quantity and availability of services
– Where are the service delivery points?– What services available?– In what quantity/frequency?– How many health workers are working?
• Quality of services– Is there a standard of care guidelines? Are they being used?– Are health workers adhering to the guidelines?
• Support mechanism– Condition of building– Availability and condition of equipment– Availability of supplies– Management systems and practice

Key questions answered by Population-based surveys
• What proportion of the population is using services? • What is the characteristics of individuals/ households
who are using services vis-a-vis those who are not? • What are the key facilitating and constraining factors
to service utilization? • What are the socioeconomic differences in morbidity
and mortality levels?• How are health outcomes impacted by access to
services?

Advantages of HF data
• Contribute to health system strengthening• Important component of the national HIS• Increase the domains of data for
investigation, making triangulation possible• HF data can help determine whether
population based surveys are necessary, saving costs (e.g. the IMCI-MCE Survey).

12 Characteristics of system
strength affected by HF mapping • Provisions of basic services• Well integrated & complementary services:
public/private, static/outreach, different levels: (pry, secondary, referral)
• Efficient use of facility resources, including personnel, infrastructure, equipment, supplies and time
• Existence of coordinating mechanisms among key levels and programs: outreach departments, community workers etc
• Ownership by, & support for, national/community counterparts
• RHIS/monitoring & evaluation systems

Profiles of key approaches
E va lua tion
14
Key approaches• Service Availability Mapping(WHO)
• Service Provision Assessment (ORC Macro/USAID)
• Health Facility Census (JICA)
• Facility Audit of Service Quality (UNC/USAID)
• VCT and PMTCT Mapping
E va lua tion
15
Service Availability MappingPurpose Supports decision making by providing planners with skills
and tools required to map and monitor services and resource availability on a regular basis
Key areas of information
•Location of health service delivery points•Availability and location of health services (MCH, HIV/AIDS, TB & Malaria)•Availability and location of health workers
What it does SAM is a district owned service monitoring system
Rapid and relatively inexpensive
Use of PDA and HealthMapper
Two phased approach: district SAM and facility SAM
What it does not do
Does not measure quality of services or resources.
Does not necessary provide detail information.
E va lua tion
16Service Provision Assessment
Purpose To provide information on quality of health services, as measured through resources, systems, and some observed practices
Key areas of information
•Availability of infrastructure and resources for a given service•Facility level support systems and maintenance of infrastructure and resources•Information on staff qualifications, training, supervision•Adherence to standards (observations and exit-interview)•FP, child health, maternal health, STI, TB, HIV/AIDS
What it does •Provides picture of the services and service quality•Validates reported information. Allows comparison between implementing organizations, facility types, and regions•Sample survey of facilities
What it does not
Does not provide representative information at the district level except specially requested and planned for
E va lua tion
17
Health Facility CensusPurpose To provide information for policy, planning, and management
of health system development with particular focus on physical assets
Key information
•Availability and conditions of physical assets•Location of health service delivery points•Availability and type of health services•Headcounts of health workers
What it does •Provide information on conditions and distribution of physical assets•Covers all health facilities•Cost estimates for future capital investment requirement
What it does not do
Does not collect information on service quality, patient satisfaction, and details of human resources

Facility Audit of Service Quality
Purpose Facilitates the mapping of availability and quality of all government and private facilities
Key areas of information
•Range of services offered, staffing and staff qualifications,
•Facility infrastructure – electricity, water, telephone, lighting, vehicles, privacy/capacity, emergency transportation, laboratory•Readiness to provide quality care •Digital maps of facilities and services available
What it does •Low tech application, minimal or no technical assistance needed for fieldwork; can be implemented by local staff
•Quick and low cost; feasible to repeat at intervals useful for monitoring applications (1-2 years)
•Measures standardized “short list” of service R/CH quality Produces integrated service profile covering all health facilities operating in district (government and private sector)
What it does not do
Trade off for rapid and low cost is the loss of some detail and in-depth information that would be available.

VCT/PMTCT MappingPurpose To provide information on availability and locations of
VCT/PMTCT services
Key areas of information
•Availability and distribution of VCT/PMTCT services•Conditions of facilities where services are offered•Availability of health workers and their qualifications
What it does •VCT/PMTCT mapping is implemented by various organizations•Provides information on specific services being offered•Information used to come up with directory of services
What it does not do
Often covers only delivery points that are currently offering services
Does not collect information on potential service delivery points

Displaying HF data
May display data using simple basic maps or advanced maps
E va lua tion
22
• Basic versus advanced mapping: • dot map or shaded polygon map; displays
simple patterns and geographic dispersions.• Choropleth, or shaded polygon maps can
also be a valuable way to display geographic data.
• Software requirements for basic mapping: EpiMap, SIGEpi (produced by PAHO), Healthmapper (WHO) as well as
• ArcGIS.Source: Spencer, John. 2006

• Advanced Mapping: key is that data is explored in greater depth to produce fuller understanding of the geographic patterns. Require more sophisticated program such as ArcGIS, and additional training.
• Basic mapping may be transitioned to more advanced mapping if relevant information is available and there is adequate planning at the start of the Project
