e-Learning Course on Cross-programmatic efficiency analysis

Course overview

 

This module on Cross-Programmatic Efficiency Analysis will provide you with an approach to analysing efficiency across health programmes within a health system. Using WHO’s System-wide approach to analysing efficiency across health programmes, you will learn how to unpack health programmes based on their common health system functions – financing, governance, service delivery, and creating resources (e.g. supply chain, information systems, health workers) – to understand how they interact with one another and the overall system, and where inefficiencies can be identified.  These cross-programmatic inefficiencies include duplications or misalignments across core health system functions.

This module is divided into six sub-sections and should take roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete. 

After completing this module, you will know how to identify inefficiencies by taking a system-wide approach and learn how to address these inefficiencies through targeted reforms. 

This e-learning module is open to the public and is directed towards leaders, managers, practitioners, and technical staff from both programme and system perspectives.  This includes country-level health authorities, WHO country/regional/headquarter staff, researchers, and development partners.

This is a supplementary module to WHO's “e-Learning Course on Health Financing Policy for universal health coverage (UHC)." It is strongly encouraged to complete this course before starting this module. 

This module is offered in both English and French.
