A few examples of useful information to share:
- A statement or policy that clearly outlines the roles and responsibilities of different levels of the health system - not only in broad terms, but very specifically, for example, stating who is responsible for each function such as procurement of drugs
- A statement on the rules regarding access to services - not just broadly, but specifying what services are meant to be available to people in what locations, at what cost, or at no cost
- A policy or guideline on procurement of appropriate technology
- Documented procedure for competitive bidding for contracting services
- Documented procedure for identifying those who are to be exempt from charges
- Documented procedure for transparency and accountability to the community for how the health budget is spent
- A maintenance schedule for buildings, equipment and vehicles
- Standards regarding staffing numbers, mix and distribution
- Standards for patient privacy and maintenance of personal information
