  1. Determinants of Data Use Session 2

  2. Session Objectives • Explain the data-use conceptual framework • Highlight the determinants of data use • List potential barriers to data use • Introduce the Assessment of Barriers to Data Use tool

  3. Session Overview • Determinants of data use • Barriers to data use • Assessing Barriers to Data Use • Small Group Activity 2: Action Plan to Address Barriers to Data Use

  4. Data Demand & Use

  5. TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORAL What Determines Data Demand & Use? - * Based on PRISM analytical framework (LaFond, Fields et al. (2005). The PRISM: An analytical framework for understanding performance of health information systems in developing countries. MEASURE Evaluation).

  6. Data often are underutilized because of… Technical constraints • Technical skills • Availability of computers • Data system design • Definition of indicators • Lack of data quality assurance protocols

  7. Data often are underutilized because of… Organizational constraints • Structural – roads, telecommunications • Organizational – clarity of roles, support, flow of information • Political interference

  8. Data are often underutilized because of… Individual constraints • Decision-maker attitudes • Staff motivation • Lack of “data culture”

  9. TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIORAL What Determines Data Demand & Use? CULTURE SOCIETY POLITICS * Based on PRISM analytical framework (LaFond, Fields et al. 2005 The PRISM: An Analytical Framework for Understanding Performance of Health Information Systems in Developing Countries. MEASURE Evaluation).

  10. Group Participation What barriers have you faced to using or getting others to use data and information?

  11. Assessment of Data Use Constraints Tool • Purpose • To improve understanding of the demand for data and the constraints on data use • Description • Key informant interview guide designed to identify constraints • Identifies effective practices in data use • Two versions - Facility level assessment & national and subnational assessments

  12. Assessment of Data Use Constraints Tool

  13. Action Plan for Addressing Barriers to Data Use

  14. Key Messages • Determinants of data use are technical, behavioral, and organizational • Decision making occurs within political, cultural, and social contexts • The Assessment of Data Use Constraints tool can help to clarify the barriers in your organization • Plan interventions to overcome barriers to data use

  15. Small Group Activity 2: Instructions Choose a reporter. Discuss barriers to data use experienced in your work. Here are some questions to start your discussion: • Have you ever had an experience while making a policy or program-related decision when you were concerned about the quality of the information being used? • Does your agency have the technical capacity to ensure access to and availability of reliable data? • What specific challenges have you experienced among your staff when it comes to using data? • How does your organization support having the necessary information to make decisions? Time for activity: 1 hour

  16. Action Plan for Addressing Barriers to Data Use

  17. Small Group Activity: Report Back • Share priority barriers • Discuss solutions crafted • Present action plan for two priority barriers • Time for report back: Each group has 10–15 minutes
