Description: This technical brief discusses organizational, national, and international data standards that can help countries ensure the quality of their human resources for health (HRH) data. Human resources information systems help countries track and support their health workforces. Information systems are successful when they support policy and management decisions and when those decisions lead to better health care—but success depends on the quality of the HRH data going into the system.
