Notes

Data: To learn more about our Core Indicators data click here, or e-mail us at info@improvingphc.org to provide feedback. Visit the Indicator Library for detailed descriptions of the rationale, construction, and limitations of Core indicators. Download VSP Indicator Descriptions (link at top) for details on VSP indicators. Indicator values presented on the VSP may differ from country data sources due to the use of standardized categories and methods to enhance international comparability. See Indicator Description Sheet for details.

Color coding: Scores for the Capacity, Performance, and Equity domains are color-coded to reflect good (green), medium (yellow), and poor (red) performance, where comparable data are available. Cut-offs can be found in the VSP Indicator Description Sheets. Scores based on data from non-comparable sources are colored gray. Finance indicators are not color-coded because these indicators lack common targets.

Capacity domain: The PHC Progression Model uses mixed methods to assess foundational capacities of PHC on a scale from 1 (low) to 4 (high).

Access Index and Quality Index: Because different data/indicators are used in each country, composite index values may not be comparable across countries. Click on the arrows to see the specific indicators used in this VSP.
