Project Description: This proposal describes a collaborative 2-years feasibility and implementation research study in Tanzania and Bangladesh, to advance newborn indicator uptake and use in routine health management information systems (HMIS). The opportunity is to capitalize on the momentum generated by testing the validity of selected indicators in phase 1 of every Newborn-Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH study). The concept for phase 2 is to assess whether the validated indicators are feasible to implement and... This proposal describes a collaborative 2-years feasibility and implementation research study in Tanzania and Bangladesh, to advance newborn indicator uptake and use in routine health management information systems (HMIS). The opportunity is to capitalize on the momentum generated by testing the validity of selected indicators in phase 1 of every Newborn-Birth Indicators Research Tracking in Hospitals (EN-BIRTH study). The concept for phase 2 is to assess whether the validated indicators are feasible to implement and is the next step to promote broad HMIS uptake in low and middle-income countries (LMIC). The main output of this work would be a toolkit to enable other high burden countries to implement and use selected newborn indicator in national HMIS/DHIS2
