Assessment of Third Party Payers in Jordan
The Partnerships for Health Reform, funded by the United States Agency for International Development, provides technical assistance in a variety of areas—including universal coverage of health services—to help improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity of Jordan's health system. This report outlines the findings of the assessment, conducted in June 1998, of private third party payers in the health sector and the potential roles they could play in a universal health system. The report also presents a brief overview of Jordan's health sector, quantitative data on third party payers, their organizational structure and business/service approach and plans. The report contains a list of short- and long-term recommendations on actions to take in order to determine the roles of private insurance and to enable third party payers to contribute to social health insurance.

Family Planning Market Segmentation in Jordan: An Analysis of the Family Planning Market in Jordan to Develop an Effective and Evidence-Based Strategic Plan for Attaining Contraceptive Security
This study presents a secondary data analysis of the 2002 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey. The sample size in JPFHS 2002 was 6,000 ever-married women ages 15–49. The wealth index constructed by MACRO was used for the market segmentation analysis. In developing a wealth index, each household asset or amenity is assigned a factor score generated through principal component analysis. In this way, MACRO defined the standard of living in terms of assets, rather than in terms of income or consumption.3

Policy: Changing the Environment to Foster Private Sector Delivery of Quality Reproductive Healthcare
At the Commercial Market Strategies (CMS) project, policy is broadly defined to encompass "the environment for sustainable delivery of family planning and other health products and services through the private sector." Policy, therefore, includes both the policy regime — the laws, policy statements, regulations, and procedures on record in a given country — and the policy environment — the real implementation and attitudes that affect the private sector. CMS recognizes that although the government controls some elements of policy, other key actors, such as medical associations or religious leaders, also profoundly affect policy. While the vision of policy at CMS is expansive, our policy activities and interventions focus on achieving those changes that can directly improve the environment for private sector delivery of family planning and reproductive health products and services.

Standards of Care for Health Centers: Volume 6, Performance Checklists
Health for all is an achievable goal for the citizens of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan where primary care focuses on providing high quality preventive, promotive, and curative care in a cost-effective manner. The Jordanian Ministry of Health and USAID-funded Primary Health Care Initiatives Project (PHCI) have formed a partnership to reach this goal. The Standards of Care for Health Centers described here represent a milestone in the road towards better health. They are tangible evidence of the considerable thought and effort that has been devoted to promoting quality of care by the Ministry of Health. The purpose of the "Standards" is to ensure that health center staff members have the basic and essential guidance required for safe, effective, and humane service delivery. The Standards are contained in five volumes, each addressing a distinct aspect of health center services. A sixth volume of performance checklists is included with the Standards to facilitate self-assessment and performance review. As a set, the Standards are intended to serve as a convenient reference, a guide for service delivery, and a tool to support performance improvement. When following the guidelines set forth in the Standards, members of health center staff are assured that services meet the accepted standard of care required by their communities. This is one of 6 volumes, and this volume is described below: Volume 6: Performance Checklists The performance checklists presented in each of the five volumes have been compiled in this final volume. These compiled checklists are a convenient tool and job aid for refreshing knowledge, guiding self-assessment, and standardizing performance assessment at the health centers.

This is one of 6 volumes, and this volume is described below: Volume 4: Preventive Services This volume addresses two different but complementary aspects of prevention, which are of great importance to the communities served by health centers. The first section covers prevention of childhood diseases through immunization; the second addresses the prevention of infection transmission within the health facility and among clients, staff, and the communities they serve. Immunization guidelines describe management of the cold chain and vaccines, immunization procedures and schedules, roles of staff, recordkeeping, and supervision. Infection prevention includes guidelines for maintaining protective barriers through handwashing, use of gloves and antiseptics, and procedures for decontamination, cleaning, sterilization, and waste disposal. Performance checklists are provided for all important procedures as a guide for self-assessment and performance review.
