| Summary |
In 2000, the Reproductive Health Manager at the Provincial Administration of the Western Cape (PAWC) approached the Womens Health Research Unit (WHRU) to review the reproductive health information that was being collected at a provincial level and ascertain whether the data being collected was reliable and useful, and whether additional indicators were needed. At the same time, the Health Systems Trust expressed interest in commissioning a project that would develop a set of reproductive health indicators that could be used, particularly by health service managers.

Some issues raised by the study were that health providers and managers were unable to use the existing health idnicators for planning and decision-makers and were unable to define their health information needs, at development of RMR, district level managers were unable to be meaningfull involved partly due to a gap in knowledge on indicators and also because of many changes in the health sectors, staff were not trained on using the indicators for daily
management of services, health site managers recommended that RMR should be able to reflect workload e.g. time spent on counselling and add HIV as an
reproductive health indicator, the health information system in South Peninsula is still fragmented , with a strong tendency for vertical movement of data. |
