Abstract
  • As digital routine health information systems (RHIS) become more prevalent, there is a growing interest in using them for evaluations. Rakha et al. used data from an integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) database to evaluate under-5 mortality and the timing of IMCI implementation in 213 districts in Egypt. Bennett et al. used data from Zambia’s RHIS to evaluate an insecticide-treated net program and confirmed outpatient malaria incidence. Lalla-Edward et al. used data collected from nine roadside wellness centers in South Africa to evaluate the services accessed by long-distance truck drivers and the drivers’ sociodemographic characteristics. Brennan et al. used data from the National Health Service (NHS) in Leicester to assess hospital cost efficiency.
