Toolkits for Strengthening Primary Health Care

In Albania, the PHRplus Project developed and tested a series of tools designed to introduce family medicine concepts and strengthen primary health care (PHC) services. Toolkits were developed and tested in four pilot PHC centers in one region, and are now ready to be used in additional PHC settings in Albania or adapted for use elsewhere. PHC facility managers will find the toolkits useful reference materials when developing strategies and tools to improve quality of care and monitor and evaluate PHC strengthening efforts. This series comprises three toolkits: (1) PHC Service Delivery Toolkit; (2) PHC Quality Improvement (QI) Toolkit; and (3) PHC Health Information Systems (HIS) Toolkit. Each Toolkit and accompanying forms are hyper-linked on the table of contents to facilitate navigation through the document.
