Many developing countries face daunting obstacles to meeting the health care needs of their people. To ensure that the right health care provider is in the right place with the right skills, these countries require current, accurate data on human resources for health (HRH). A strong human resources information system (HRIS) enables health care leaders to quickly answer the key policy and management questions affecting health care service delivery. The iHRIS Suite was developed to offer health-care providers in developing countries low-cost information systems for tracking and analyzing health worker data. The iHRIS Suite consists of three tools for managing human resources information:

  • iHRIS Manage, a human resources management system
  • iHRIS Qualify, a training, certification and licensure tracking database
  • iHRIS Plan, workforce planning and modeling software

Open Source Software

The Capacity Project is developing the iHRIS Suite of free, Open Source HRIS solutions, distributed under the General Public License (GPL), to supply health sector leaders and managers with the information they need to assess HR problems, plan effective interventions and evaluate those interventions.

Open Implementation

We don't provide just software but rather a program of technical assistance and expertise to ensure that the technology is transferred effectively and serves the ability of decision makers to use data to lead and manage. Our participatory approach results in systems that are appropriate for the context in which they are used and sustainable after we leave. With a solid, sustainable, technological foundation, we can work with local partners to ensure the success of the various strengthening activities with an Open Implementation

What and Why

Open implementation is our philosophy of systems implementation which strongly encourages the sharing of people, methods, and documentation.

  • Various components of the iHRIS Suite are deployed in different types of environments. With clear documentation of how we implemented a particular system, we empower local groups to take ownership of the system, thereby decreasing the reliance on the Capacity Project and Intrahealth and increasing the local technological capacity and sustainability
  • Several groups may be involved in a particular implementation. Having a centralized and open implementation plan ensures all interested parties and partners informed and involved.
  • The eco-system of donors and their activities is large and not homogeneous. By knowing the progress of a particular implementation, various partners can quickly assess areas of needed additional support and areas for possible collaboration and contribution.
