HRH stakeholders—from policymakers to facility managers—need data to understand how to improve HRH intervention implementation and drive performance. Accurate and timely HRH data are required to connect HRH inputs with health outcomes and calculate the relative success of HRH programs. The following systems and approaches are recommended for health workforce data collection, management, accountability, and use in decision-making:
- Monitor HRH availability and accessibility;
- Implement National Health Workforce Accounts (NHWA);
- Harness appropriate technologies at site and district levels;
- Monitor HRH financial investments (Fort et al., 2017; Riley et al., 2012)
