  • Using PROMIS measures to address practical measurement problems in health-related research and clinical practice.
  • Using PROMIS measures to improve community, opportunity, and engagement across all patients in health-related research and clinical practice.
  • Using PROMIS measures to inform individual and population-based patient care, clinical quality improvements, enhance value in health systems, and to meet regulatory/payor requirements.
  • Applying implementation strategies to move PROMIS from research settings into clinical practice or health-system wide integration.
  • Benefitting from psychometrically developed measures, like PROMIS to inform individual and group level change scores and support rigorous outcome assessment.
  • Determining how PROMIS can be used for screening, symptom management and monitoring in rare and chronic diseases.

Data and Digital Health Systems Impact Assessment Survey

Opublikowany przez

The Global Strategy on Digital Health Secretariat at the World Health Organization (WHO) invites professionals working in data and digital information systems for health to complete the Data and Digital Health Systems Impact Assessment Survey.

This rapid assessment aims to map and evaluate the effects of reduced financial and technical support to digital and data information systems to health systems, the health workforce, and patient populations, particularly in countries pursuing the Global Strategy on Digital Health.

Why This Matters

Recent shifts in donor priorities and funding reductions have placed critical digital health infrastructure, workforce capacity, and essential support systems at risk, affecting healthcare delivery in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Digital and data systems are foundational to health service delivery, decision-making, and patient care, and any disruption can have far-reaching consequences.

This brief, emergency survey is designed to capture the collective impact of these budget reductions on governments, development partners, civil society organizations, and others. The findings will help inform opportunities for a coordinated response through networks such as the Global Initiative on Digital Health to safeguard digital health systems and mitigate risks to data continuity, health services, and beneficiary populations.

Your Input is Critical

Your participation will help quantify the scale of impact and to inform urgent policy and funding discussions. WHO is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all responses – data will be aggregated and anonymized to ensure privacy.
