Optimizing Performance and Quality (OPQ) is a stakeholder-driven, cyclical process for analyzing human and organizational performance and setting up interventions to improve performance and quality or build on strengths and successes. It has been used by country leaders in over 15 countries to strengthen health-sector governance through greater accountability and transparency, broadened partnerships, and measurable results in improved service quality. The OPQ process builds capacity within an organization to recognize and address problems or performance gaps on an ongoing basis. Each of the seven stages provides evidence-based guidance and steps to follow, with a suite of tools to help users through the process.

Applying Stakeholder Leadership Group Guidelines in Ghana

Like many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana faces health worker shortages, limiting the country’s likelihood of meeting the Millennium Development Goals. Working together with the stakeholders and partners that make up the Ghanaian health care system, CapacityPlus supported the revitalization of the Ghana Health Workforce Observatory to address key human resources for health issues. This case study discusses the steps taken to revitalize the observatory through the application of Guidelines for Forming and Sustaining Human Resources for Health Stakeholder Leadership Groups. Success factors that contributed to the Observatory’s revitalization are highlighted, along with challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations.

WHO Country Assessment Tool on the Uses and Sources for HRH Data

There is widespread recognition of the need for accurate, timely, and effective human resources for health (HRH) data to inform the development of policies on HRH. However, many countries have weak information systems that can generate these data. This diagnostic tool contains questions intended to gather information on the uses, type, and quality of data on HRH at the institutional level in countries. The resulting information can then be used to identify priorities and develop strategies to strengthen human resources information systems at the district, regional, or national level. CapacityPlus contributed to the development of this resource through the WHO Health Workforce Information Reference Group (HIRG).

Stakeholder Leadership Guidelines (French)

Ces directives proposent un ensemble de mesures pratiques, claires et simples d’utilisation que les chefs de file en ressources humaines pour la santé (RHS) au niveau national peuvent mettre en œuvre afin de lancer et de pérenniser des groupes d’action regroupant les parties prenantes (GAPP). Un GAPP dans le domaine des RHS rassemble des représentants de toutes les entités essentielles impliquées dans la planification, la production, la gestion et le soutien des effectifs sanitaires d’un pays donné. Il est à présent clairement établi que les dynamiques régissant le personnel de santé et les défis auxquels celui-ci fait est confronté sont trop complexes et trop segmentés pour pouvoir être traités par une seule entité. Alors qu’il peut sembler aisé de mettre sur pied les alliances et les réseaux diversifiés nécessaires à l’atteinte d’un tel objectif, cela s’avère en pratique plus difficile que prévu. Les mesures recommandées et décrites à travers ce document de référence ont pour but de vous aider à envisager la création d’un tel groupe, de sorte qu’il fonctionne idéalement, qu’il ait un impact positif et qu’il évite certaines difficultés communes ou qu’il s’y attaque.
