The Primary Health Care Performance Initiative (PHCPI), a partnership committed to improve the global state of primary health care (PHC) in low- and middle-income countries through better measurement and knowledge-sharing, is organizing the first training to be held in Washington DC on tools to help standardize and promote better measurements of high-quality PHC. This course will walk participants through a systematic approach to conducting an assessment of a PHC system. This short course, which is closely linked with the ‘Quality of Care at Scale’ one, can benefit country representatives and TTLs and World Bank HNP teams interested in and/or engaged in supporting analytical work or projects related to PHC strengthening. Learning objectives • Review key components of a strong PHC system as articulated in the Vital Signs Profile tool, including financing, capacity (governance & leadership; inputs; population health management; facility organization and management), performance (access, quality, service coverage), equity and outcomes • Familiarize with a systematic approach to assess PHC, looking at innovations in measurement and drawing from a number of quantitative and qualitative data sources to address key performance questions.
