In 2010, IntraHealth partnered with the government of India to strengthen health workforce data in the states of Bihar and Jharkhand, piloting a modified version of our iHRIS software in one district in each state.
The pilots were so successful that Jharkhand is now scaling up the program statewide.
Jharkhand’s customized iHRIS data now provide a comprehensive picture of the state’s public health workforce, including where each worker is posted, employment and training history, specialization, and projected retirement date.
Working closely with the Department of Health and Family Welfare and the State Health Mission, IntraHealth helped Jharkhand officials to develop data entry protocols and build staff capacity for data entry, data verification, data use, and software customization to meet the state’s needs.
