This case study describes Uganda’s Human Resources for Health Information System (HRHIS), implemented with support from the Uganda Capacity Program and CapacityPlus, and documents perceptions of its impact on the health labor market against the backdrop of the costs of implementation. Through interviews with end users and implementers in six different settings, the article documents pre-implementation data challenges and considers how the HRHIS has been perceived to affect human resources decision-making and the health care employment environment.
