Strengthening Health Systems through Digital Health and Data Use

Strong health information systems (HIS) are an essential building block of an effective health system. From measuring improvements in health outcomes and progressively working toward global health security to ensuring that people receive coordinated, high-quality healthcare, JSI has been supporting countries to develop, deploy, manage, and use HIS in the United States and around the world for more than four decades, supporting national-scale systems in more than 25 countries. 

At JSI, we know that getting information in the hands of the right people at the right time leads to better decision making, greater transparency, and more accountability in health. 

This month we highlight some of our recent and long-term accomplishments in strengthening HIS to allow for country ownership and use of data on the journey to self-reliance.
