The two-day implementation review workshop aims to assess the status of the implementation of the CHSR System in data collection, recording and reporting by the Community Health Team (CHT) partners/barangay health workers (BWHs). This activity serves as the venue for discussing the contributions, gaps, and sustainability of CHSR in collecting/gathering data from the National Household Targeting System (NHTS)/non-NHTS families to provide quality health services to those found with unmet need for family planning, maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition, and TB (FP/MNCHN/TB). Through house-to-house profiling of household members, all those found with unmet need are identified and immediately referred for utilization of appropriate health services, thus, significantly reducing unmet health needs and resulting in achievement of higher-level health outcomes. For FP, this strategic activity continues to be important at this time when the Department of Health Regional Offices (DOHROs) and Provincial/City Health Offices (P/CHOs) are scaling up FP strategies and activities in response to Executive Order No. 12 (Attaining and Sustaining Zero Unmet Need for Modern FP) issued in January 2017; and to DOH Administrative Order No. 2017-0005 entitled “Achieving the Desired Family Size through Accelerated and Sustained Reduction in Unmet Need for Modern Family Planning Methods.” This guide is intended for the use of the BHW coordinators of the DOHROs and P/CHOs in assessing the use of the CHSR, in coordination with the Regional/Provincial/City/Municipal Program Managers/Coordinators for FP/MNCHN/TB Programs. For health program managers, there is a need for them to provide oversight in ensuring continuous quality improvement in the implementation of health programs; and for the CHSR System, in particular, regular conduct of an Implementation Review is essential to institutionalize a periodic evaluation system to determine the status of demand generation, community referral system, and quality of community-generated data vis-a-vis referral data entries in the Target Client Lists (TCLs) as a support mechanism for improving the implementation of FP/MNCHN/TB Programs. The conduct of this CHSR System Implementation Review had been introduced in 2015 and 2016 by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) LuzonHealth Project in selected sites that were implementing CHSR, particularly in San Carlos City, San Manuel Municipality in Pangasinan, Santa Rosa City in Laguna, and in the provinces of Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan and Albay.. In the conduct of the review, the use of the CHSR Summary and Discussion Form and the CHSR Referral Percentage Contribution Worksheet was introduced. The CHSR Summary and Discussion Form is used during the review of the CHSR notebooks of the BHWs in a barangay health station (BHS) catchment area and the Rural Health Midwives’ (RHMs’) Target Client Lists or Tuberculosis (TB) Registry for the different health conditions
