Indicator passport - WHO European Primary Health Care, Impact, Performance and Capacity Tool (PHC-IMPACT) (2019)

This document of indicator passports aims to provide a detailed technical description of indicators for use in the WHO European Primary Health Care Impact, Performance and Capacity Tool (PHCIMPACT). PHC-IMPACT sets out to support the monitoring and improvement of primary health care in the European Region and measurement of progress towards the services delivery component of global universal health coverage targets.

The framework underpinning PHC-IMPACT has been guided by the WHO European Framework for Integrated Health Services Delivery. For each indicator passport included here, the following details are specified: alignment to the framework (domain, subdomain, feature), indicator/question title, indicator/question definition, numerator/denominator or answer choices, unit of measurement, rationale, relevant definitions, disaggregation, known limitations and possible data sources. Key terms underlined in the passports are found an accompanied Glossary of terms – a resource providing clarifying definitions according to existing definitions and international classifications as far as possible.
