Towards a better health system
Reliable, scalable and cost-effective health data solution
Current healthcare systems are not perfect!
Here are just some of the drawbacks
Weak accountability mechanisms
Lack of a proper accountability mechanism is leading to problems such as misused funds. Without an efficient mechanism funds can be spent on any purpose other than the intended one which hinders the quality of services to improve.
Lack of visibility
Without an efficient mechanism that provides visibility about the services, the health workers who performed those services and the clients who received those services, making effective decisions about whether or not the services have proper quality or finding the underlying problems is almost impossible. Reliable data supports decision making and leads to high performance healthcare systems.
Input based financing
Paying funds to the low performing health centres has a negative, unintended result of working against performance improvement. Healthcare systems would not improve unless funds are paid based on their high performance. Without an efficient output based mechanism, no improvements would be made, because payments are done as long as system remains low performing.

Sustainability issues
Experience has proven that mechanisms with high reliability on financial, human and technological resources would not last long. We need mechanisms that allow governments to sustain the solution long-term, and be less dependent on external donor funds for support in data collection and data use activities.
We are here to solve the problems
Here are just some of the the use cases of our solution!
Outreach improvement solution
See the Outreach outputs, then Pay.
Always full transparency.

Results-based financing
Implement an effective results-based financing mechanism to improve the performance.
Outreach solution
See the outreach outputs, then Pay.
Always full transparency.

How does the current process of outreaches work?
Advance payment to districts

Conducting outreaches and preparing requisition
Payment to Health Workers after requisition approval
Sending compiled documents to MoH and Donors
Outreach solution >
Underlying problem
Weak accountability mechanism leads to misused funds and demotivated health workers who aren’t paid on time. As a result no outreach documents are sent and no payments are made!

“All as a reason of weak accountability mechanism”
Outreach solution >
How are we solving the problem?
First see the outputs, then pay!
Health workers conduct the Outreach using SPT solution
Supporting documents are digitized and requisitions are generated.
Requisitions are approved, mobile payments are made and integration with the account systems are done automatically.
Health workers are paid on time and directly into their accounts.

Support supervision solution
Encourage high performance by paying for improvements. Follow districts every step of the way.
Support supervision solution >
How does the current process of support supervision work?
Advance payment to the low performing districts
Meetings to review health facility performance, identify gaps, and discuss improvement actions
Support supervision visits to health facilities to ensure that actions are taken
Documents are compiled and sent to MoH and Donors
Support supervision solution >
Underlying problem
Paying low-performing districts has the unintended result of working against performance improvement. A weak accountability mechanism leads to misused funds, where support supervision visits are not done or do not bring the desired result because payments are made as long as districts perform poorly.

“The quality of services does not improve as long as funds are allocated only to the low-performing districts.”
Support supervision solution >
How are we solving the problem?
First see the improvements in quality of services, then pay!
Low-performing facilities are identified based on data regarding quality of services
Efforts to improve low-performing facilities should be undertaken
.svg)
Consequently, the performance of health facilities should be improved
Districts are paid for the output of their efforts when facilities improved their performance

Results-based-financing solution
Results-based financing is made easy and fast through automatic verification and payments made directly to facilities' and health workers’ accounts.
Results-based-financing solution >
How does the current process work?
Healthcare services provided to clients are documented in the HMIS.
At the end of the month or quarter, invoices for provided services are generated manually by health workers and submitted to the district.
The district team visits the health facilities, performs manual verification of the provided services, and approves the invoice.
An aggregated invoice is sent to the Payer, payments are approved, and money is provided to the districts so that health facilities can be paid.
Results-based-financing solution >
Underlying problem
Several problems contribute to the inefficiency of results-based financing. First, the indicators set to measure services are mostly quantitative and incapable of measuring the quality of services. Second, the manual verification of the invoices takes a lot of time, energy, and money, and is not precise. Lastly, since the payments are made from top to bottom and are not paid directly to facilities and health workers, the process takes several months to complete if done at all, causing health workers to become demotivated.

“Manual verification and delayed payments are the root causes of inefficiency.”
Results-based-financing solution >
How are we solving the problem?
Automatic verification and direct payments
to facilities and health workers with no delay!
Healthcare services provided to clients are documented on SPT forms.
Supporting documents are digitised and verified based on quantitative and qualitative criteria, and invoices are generated.

Invoices can be checked against supporting documents and they are approved and signed through the app on all levels.
Payments are simplified and can be done on time thanks to auto-validated payment details and integration with accounting systems.
