JSY EVALUATION STUDIES IN 6 STATES • Evaluation of JSY scheme carried out in 2007 in 6 states : - UP, Rajasthan, MP, Orissa, Assam and West Bengal Major Highlights • Increased utilization of ANC services. • Institutional deliveries have substantially increased • Positive shift to Institutional Delivery compared to previous birth. • Social Equity issues being addressed. • ANMs/ASHAs/AWWs – main source of information about JSY. Areas for strengthening • Timely payments to beneficiaries and ASHAs. • Costs incurred by BPL families on institutional delivery, including on transportation, accommodation and ANC checks.
JSY: STRATEGIES Steps to strengthen JSY • Payment prior to discharge through bearer cheque • Monitoring of JSY at all levels (including verification of specified proportion of beneficiaries by each level of officers) • Grievance redressal mechanism for JSY set up at the local level; listing of beneficiaries outside the health facility to be instituted for ensuring transparency and for facilitating grievance redressal. • Quality of deliveries at public health facilities to be monitored; private sector facilities accredited and monitored. • Two days stay after delivery to be promoted, and newborn care essentials (counselling and basic equipment) are focused upon in the facilities
INNOVATIONS • NRHM/ RCH II has fostered innovations due to the inherent flexibility provided for local need-based approaches for gaps in service delivery. • A directory is currently being prepared after a desk review of innovative schemes/ approaches implemented by states. • Innovations have been piloted within the NRHM/RCH II parameters of decentralization, flexibility, and results based performance • Many innovations are targeted at BPL, and seeking to improve equity of access to health services • Several are state specific but some span several states, or are similar across states (e.g. EMRI, Chiranjeevi-like schemes to promote safe motherhood/ institutional deliveries) • RCH II has provided a platform for sharing of innovations across states. • Several states have undertaken evaluation of their innovations, while some innovations have been evaluated nationally. • Range and spread of innovations is impressive, and over 200have been identified so far.
INNOVATIONS(CONTD..) • Innovative schemes/ activities address “needs/ gaps” • The Innovation document has been made according to the core areas which the innovations propose to address. For example the various sections are, referral transport, contracting out management of public health facilities, Safe Motherhood, etc. • Out of the 208 innovations compiled, around 50 have been taken up for desk review and 19 for field study • Innovations underway in states to be visited during CRM
MONITORING: WAY FORWARD Monitoring • Strengthening of system of Quarterly variance analysis reports (physical and financial) against approved state PIP • Review meetings for monitoring and handholding • DLHS-3 is currently underway; will provide inputs for mid course corrections. • Joint Mid-Term Review (MTR) currently underway. The program will also be reviewed against specified Indicators to measure outcome of the interventions in last 3 years of RCH II.
