Developing standards and accompanying elements of a standards-driven quality improvement initiative.

1.Identify the intended beneficiaries 2.Define the health outcomes to be achieved 3.Define the health services and commodities to be delivered to achieve these health outcomes 4.Identify the health service and commodity delivery points 5.Identify the problem statements (the gap between desired quality and actual quality) 6. Formulate the quality standard statements 7. Choose the set of criteria to be achieved for each quality standard to be achieved 8. Identify the actions to be taken at national, district and local levels for the criteria to be achieved 9. Specify ways and means to verify the achievement of the criteria 10.Outline the preparatory work that needs to be done at the national level before the quality standards can be applied

1. Identify the intended beneficiaries What is the population segment (e.g. 10–19 years) we want to address? Why? Within this, which population group do we want to focus on? (E.g. those living and working on the street). Why?

2. Define the health outcomes to be achieved What are the health outcomes we want to achieve? Why?

3. Define the health services and commodities to be delivered to achieve these health outcomes What are the health services to be provided in relation to each of the health outcomes above?

4. Identify the health service and commodity deliver points Where are the health services to be provided? Where are the health-related commodities to be provided?

5. Identify the problem statements (the gap between desired quality and actual quality) How does each of the health service delivery points/health-related commodity delivery points relate to the desired quality?

Service providers: - are non judgemental & considerate in their dealings with adolescents - deliver the services in the right way 'Required' quality of health service provision to adolescents. Community members support the provision of health services to adolescents. Adolescents - are aware of what services are being provided - are (& feel) able & willing to obtain the health services they need Points of service delivery: - enable adolescents to obtain the health services they need - are appealing to adolescents & respectful of them - provide the health services that adolescents need

Adolescents are generally not aware of where they can get services. Example from India – Problem statement. Identify the main problems

6. Formulate the quality standard statements When we say that we want to improve the quality of these health service delivery points, what exactly do we mean?

Adolescents are generally not aware of where they can get services. Example from India – A problem statement & an accompanying standard statement. Identify the main problems Formulate the standards. Adolescents are well informed about the availability of good quality health services from the service delivery points.

Problem statement 1. In many situations: - community members (especially parents) are not aware of the value of providing sexual and reproductive health services to adolescents; - they do not believe that adolescents should be able to obtain these health services. This deters health service providers from providing health services to adolescents. It also deters adolescents from seeking health services. Standard statement 1. An enabling environment exists in the community for adolescents to seek the health services they need. Example from India: Problem statements and accompanying standard statements– 1

Problem statement 2. Adolescents are generally not aware of where they can get health services. Standard statement 2. Adolescents are well informed about the availability of good quality health services from the service delivery points. Problem statement 3. In many places, service delivery points do not provide adolescents with the health services they need. Standard statement 3. Service delivery points provide the specified package of health services that adolescents need. Example from India: Problem statements and accompanying standard statements – 2

Problem statement 4. In many places, health services are not provided effectively by service providers for a variety of reasons (e.g. service providers are not in place, service providers do not have the required competencies, the required supplies, equipment and basic amenities are not available). Standard statement 4. Service delivery points deliver effective health services to adolescents. Problem statement 5. Because of a variety of reasons, e.g. judgemental attitudes, service providers in many places are not motivated to serve their adolescent patients. Standard statement 5. Service providers are sensitive to the needs of adolescents and are motivated to work with them. Example from India: Problem statements & accompanying standard statements – 3

Problem statement 6. Adolescents do not obtain health services because the physical environment and procedures put them off. Standard statement 6. Adolescents feel at ease with the surroundings and procedures of the service delivery point. Problem statement 7. In many places service delivery points do not receive supervisory visits. If they do, this is often done in a perfunctory and demeaning manner. Further data that is gathered at sub-centre, primary health centre and community health centres is generally sent to a higher authority for analysis. Often no feedback is received. Only rarely is the data used locally to address problems and fill gaps. Standard statement 7. Management systems are in place to improve/sustain the quality of health services. Example from India: Problem statements & accompanying standard statements – 4

7. Choose the set of criteria to be achieved for each quality standard to be achieved What needs to be in place for the quality standard to be achieved?

Criteria Input Process Output Standard: The things that need to be in place in a health service-delivery point. The way in which staff at a health service- delivery point deal with adolescents & with other community members.. The desired effect on adolescent users of the health service delivery point & other community members.

Example from India: Standard statement & accompanying criteria Input CriteriaProcess CriteriaOutput Criteria SDPs display a sign board welcoming adolescents & informing them about the availability of quality health services. No process criterion. Adolescents are well informed about the availability of quality health services from Service Delivery Points. A plan is in place for SDP staff to visit educational institutions in the catchment areas to inform adolescents about the availability of quality health services. SDP staff are visiting educational institutions to inform adolescents about the availability of quality health services. A plan is in place to engage organizations (e.g. NGOs) working with children/adolescents on the street) to inform the adolescents they come into contact with about the availability of quality health services. SDP staff are meeting these organizations to brief them about the availability of quality health services, and to request them to communicate this message. A plan is in place to engage local performing groups to provide information about the availability of services through folk media. SDP staff are meeting with local performing groups to engage them in communicating information about the availability of services through folk media. Information about the availability of quality health services has been posted in pharmacies and shops in the area. No process criterion. Information about the availability of quality health services has been provided in the mass media. No process criterion.
