Service Delivery
The NURHI 2 quality improvement strategy employed an evidence-based, process-improvement approach aimed at identifying and bridging gaps by comparing current realities with standards. This strategy fosters client satisfaction and expands access to high-quality family planning services. The NURHI 2 quality improvement strategy comprised five phases: define, measure, analyse, improve and control.
This approach influenced changes in six elemental areas, as outlined by the Bruce-Jain framework; namely, the choice of methods, information given to clients, technical competence, interpersonal relations, follow-up and continuity mechanisms, and appropriate constellation of services. These six elemental areas together constitute the foundation for defining goals and evaluating outcomes of the NURHI 2 quality improvement interventions. NURHI 2 used three types of interventions to improve the quality of family planning service delivery:
- Service Delivery Environment Enhancement
- Capacity Building Sessions
- Tools Provision
