Subject: Partners Sought: Health Info.Systems For Development Research


> I am looking for expressions of interest in relation to a research
> proposal I'm developing.
>
> The research will investigate factors underlying success and failure
> in health information systems (HIS) in developing countries.  As part
> of the research, we will be looking for partners to write up case
> studies of HIS success, partial failure and total failure.
>
> The studies will be framed according to an HIS success/failure
> model which is being developed.  We will be interested in a broad
> range of cases: of HIS supporting - and failing to support - health
> care delivery, health care management, and health system
> planning from developing and transitional economies (i.e. all non-
> OECD countries).
>
> Following case development, we aim to work with a small number
> of the partners to develop a better understanding of critical HIS
> implementation factors (especially the human/political ones that
> tend to be overlooked).
>
> At this stage, I would be interested in receiving just a simple
> expression of interest from any one/any organisation working with
> developing country HIS who might be interested in acting as a
> research partner.

> Many thanks
