This guide describes approaches and standards for integration of vertical information systems with the RHIS. It uses HIV/AIDS information systems primarily, as examples of best practices and what is required for achieving integration with RHIS. These principals are cross-cutting, however, and can be applied to nearly any disease or program-specific information system. General aspects of information system integration are first presented, followed by the case of HIV/AIDS integration. The concept of interoperability as a method for achieving the goals of integration is then presented, with generic models and country examples of different types of integration. JSI, 2015.
We strive to build lasting relationships to produce better health outcomes for all.
