Understanding iHRIS Qualify

Version 3.1 of iHRIS Qualify consists of several key modules designed to store and report health worker information:

User Management: Create and manage password-protected user accounts to control access to the system. Accounts are role-based so that non-authorized user actions and data sets are hidden from the user.
System Configuration: Turn on and off modules and set options for each module to customize the system and its features.
Database Management: Design a standard data structure by creating lists of items to be tracked in the database such as geographical locations, cadres and training institutions.
Record Management: Create records for health workers and record information about each health worker such as citizenship, marital status, birth date, contact information, educational history and identification numbers.
Pre-Service Training Management: Create records for students entering pre-service training programs and track completion rates and reasons for disruption of training.
Examination Management: Capture applications for national-level certification examinations and track exam results (optional).
Registration and Licensing Management: Issue registration numbers, licenses and license renewals for health professionals, track deployments, issue private practice licenses, manage out migration verification requests and record disciplinary actions.
Custom Reporting: Create reports to aggregate and analyze data in a variety of ways to answer key management and policy questions as well as generate health worker lists and directories.
Search: Search for health worker records in the system.
Offline data entry support for entering data into a desktop (Windows) version of the system when not connected to the Internet (download and install the offline version of iHRIS Qualify separately)

The following features ensure security and accuracy of data stored in the system:

Error checking and data correction by authorized data managers to ensure data integrity
Automated logging of the username, date and time when data are entered or changed for auditing purposes
Permanent archiving of all data changes to ensure a consistent record of each health professional's work history

iHRIS Qualify will be extensible to the Capacity Project's other iHRIS products, iHRIS Manage, a human resources management system for Ministries of Health and other employers of health workers, and iHRIS Plan, workforce modeling and planning software. Both of these systems are currently under development. For more information, please contact the iHRIS Development team (see Contacting the iHRIS Development Team).
