Healthcare Metrics
For an understanding of the contemporary challenges of public health informatics, one useful article is “Where is all our health data going” by Sundeep Sahay and Arunima Mukherjee, published in EPW, 2020. Finally for an update on the current stage of digitization on health in India- which is in two parts. The first part is the Conversation on Decoding the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission and the second part is Conversation on Health Information Systems. We also include 2 papers on “Premature Adult Mortality in India: what is the size of the matter?” and one on subnational mortality estimates for India.
On this topic, we also include an article on the selection of performance measures in the context of UHC and another on the measurement of unmet healthcare needs to assess progress on UHC.
