Health Facility Surveys : An Introduction
Health facility surveys come in various
guises. One dimension in which they vary is their
motivation. Some seek to understand better links between
households and providers. Others seek to understand better
provider behavior and performance. Still others seek to
understand the interrelationships between providers, while
yet others seek to shed light on the linkages between
government and providers. Health facility surveys differ too
in the data they collect, in part due to the different
motivations. Surveys also vary in the way they collect data,
some relying on direct observation, some on record review,
and some on interview. Some quality data are collected
through clinical vignettes. Facility data have been put to a
variety of uses, including planning and budgeting;
monitoring, evaluation, and promoting accountability; and
research. Lindel and Wagstaff review some of the literature
under each heading and offer some conclusions regarding the
current state of health facility surveys.
