Assessment of Data Quality and Health Workforce Competency on Routine Health Information System Tasks in Ethiopia(Quant dat Set)

This study assessed the performance of the Routine Health Information System (RHIS) across selected health centers in Sidama, Amhara, Somali, Oromia, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Using a cross-sectional design and the PRISM framework, the research evaluated data quality and health workforce competency. Key findings revealed discrepancies in reported versus source data, particularly in family planning and malaria indicators, with overall data quality at 56.4%—well below the national target of 90%. Only 46% of Performance Monitoring Team (PMT) members demonstrated high actual competency, while service providers showed moderate levels of knowledge, attitude, and perceived competency. The study identified significant associations between providers' experience, knowledge, and attitude with their perceived competency. These insights were used to design targeted interventions, including a Telegram skill bot and PMT-focused tools, aimed at improving data quality and workforce capacity.
