Every Newborn Measurement Improvement for Newborn and Stillbirths Indicators (EN-MINI) Tools, Tanzania, 2021

The EN-MINI Tools are free and have ready-to-use digital data collection platforms and generate automated reports. The EN-MINI Tools are intended to identify gaps in newborn and stillbirth RHIS data availability, quality, and use.

The tools are organized in three categories: (1) MAP newborn data availability, (2) assess USE of newborn data for decisions, and (3) identify how to IMPROVE newborn data quality. The USE and IMPROVE tools (Tools 1-6) are adapted from the MEASURE Evaluation Performance of Routine Information System Management (PRISM) series. The EN-MINI-PRISM Tools pilot study was conducted in October 2021 at all levels of health facilities in the Tanga Region of the United Republic of Tanzania providing inpatient newborn health services to maximize learning for possible future scale-up nationally and beyond.
