SCORE for Health Data Technical Package. Essential Interventions
Overview
The new SCORE for Health Data Technical Package forms the cornerstone of WHO’s efforts to strengthen health information systems worldwide, and countries’ capacity to generate, analyse and use health data (i.e. health status and health intervention). The package is published during one of the most data-strained public health crisis responses ever – that of the COVID-19 pandemic – which is placing a huge burden on already overstretched health and health-related data systems worldwide. The SCORE for Health Data Technical Package can guide countries to take action by providing a one-stop shop for best technical practices that strengthen health information systems, using universally accepted standards and tools.
To meet the increasingly complex demands on countries for health information, the SCORE for Health Data Technical Package brings together for the first time a set of the most effective interventions and tools for addressing critical data gaps and strengthening country health data for planning and monitoring health priorities (see “SCORE for Health Data Technical Package and the COVID-19 response” section for details on how the package can be used to help meet COVID-19 data needs in particular).
