Impacting health worker performance for quality care and better client outcomes: Learning from mentorship in Zambia, Tanzania and Afghanistan with Chantelle Allen Featured

ISQua were delighted to host Chantelle Allen who presented a fantastic live webinar with a Q&A session on Impacting health worker performance for quality care and better client outcomes: Learning from mentorship in Zambia, Tanzania and Afghanistan.

 

Webinar title
Impacting health worker performance for quality care and better client outcomes: Learning from mentorship in Zambia, Tanzania and Afghanistan.
 

Description
Dynamic, cost-conscious, effective models are essential to address the enormous gaps in quality in LMICs. This session will showcase three diverse country case studies – Zambia, Tanzania and Afghanistan – that demonstrate how team based mentorship models have successfully improved performance of health workers, strengthened the use of data to drive improvements, and improved overall quality of care (e.g. HIV care, maternal and newborn care and surgical care) demonstrated by measurable results. Country case studies will highlight how evidence-based learning approaches were contextualized and applied in diverse contexts and clinical areas to achieve results. The case studies will also highlight how technology was leveraged to support and sustain quality improvement.

 

Learning objectives
By the end of the session participants will know more about:

  1. Current literature and evidence of performance support to service providers.
  2. Application of evidence in three diverse country-based examples and across three diverse technical areas (e.g. Zambia, Tanzania and Afghanistan) and results.
  3. Innovative approaches and use of technology to increase and extend learning and address programming challenges.
  4. Recommendations for health systems, practice and further learning.

 

Intended audience
Senior health care managers and practitioners in LMIC settings.
