Health Results-Based Financing Impact Evaluation 2012, Health Facility Baseline Survey

Facility assessment module : The facility assessment module seeks to collect data on key aspects of facility functioning and structural aspects of quality of care. The respondent for this module is the individual in charge of the health facility at the time when the survey team visits the health facility. The full Facility Assessment module was conducted at all Health Centers and Hospitals. For Health Posts, a more simplified questionnaire that evaluates basic facility functioning was used.

Health worker interview module : A stratified random sample of clinical and lay health workers with maternal and child health service delivery responsibilities at sampled health facilities were interviewed as part of this module. The full Health Worker module was conducted at all Health Centers and Hospitals. For Health Posts, a more simplified questionnaire was used.

Observations of patient-provider interaction module: While the health worker interview module collects information on what health workers know, the purpose of this module is to gather information on what health workers actually do with their patients.

Patient exit interviews : A systematic random sample of 10 patients visiting the facility (5 patients aged under-five and 5 patients aged over 5) for curative care with a new complaint were interviewed to assess the patient's perception of quality of care and satisfaction at all Health Centers surveyed. If the patient is a child, the child's caregiver was interviewed. The 5 under-fives included in the patient exit sample were the same 5 children whose consultation with a provider was observed.
