Abstract

This paper expands information on the 6 year process and implementation of a successful e-health initiative (to 2014). As the National Health Information System policy is revised, aspects of the Nigeria Evidence-based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) approach are being integrated into policy, especially the social audit and community surveillance system. The NEHSI project clearly demonstrates that strengthening the health information system contributes to strengthening the entire health system. This document explains how the planning phase contributed to the design, and provides an overview of key NEHSI principles.
