Maternal Service Coverage and Its Relationship To Health Information System Performance: A Linked Facility and Population-Based Survey in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Studies in Ethiopia show an increasing trend in maternal health service use, such as having at least 4 visits of antenatal care (ANC4+) and skilled birth attendance (SBA). Improving the health information system (HIS) is an intervention that can improve service uptake and quality. We con...

description | BACKGROUND: Studies in Ethiopia show an increasing trend in maternal health service use, such as having at least 4 visits of antenatal care (ANC4+) and skilled birth attendance (SBA). Improving the health information system (HIS) is an intervention that can improve service uptake and quality. We conducted a baseline study to measure current maternal service coverage, HIS performance status, and their relationship. METHODS: We conducted a linked health facility-level and population-based survey from September 2020 to October 2020. The study covers all regions of Ethiopia. For the population-based survey, 3,016 mothers were included. Overall, 81 health posts, 71 health centers, and 15 hospitals were selected for the facility survey. A two-stage sampling procedure was applied to select target households. The study used modified Performance of Routine Information System Management tools for the facility survey and a structured questionnaire for the household survey. Multilevel logistic regression was employed to account for clustering and control for likely confounders. RESULTS: Maternal service indicators, ANC4+ visits (54.0%), SBA (75.8%), postnatal care (70.6%), and cesarean delivery (9%) showed good service uptake. All data quality and use indicators showed lower performance compared to the national target of 90%. Maternal education and higher levels of wealth index were significantly and positively associated with all selected maternal service indicators. Longer distance from health facilities was significantly and negatively associated with SBA and the maternal care composite indicator. Among HIS-related indicators, availability of electronic HIS tools was significantly associated with maternal care composite indicator and ANC4+. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal service indicators showed promising performance. However, current HIS performance is suboptimal. Both service user and HIS-related factors were associated with maternal service uptake. Conducting similar research outside of the project sites will be helpful to have a wider understanding and better coverage. |
