Abstract
This practical, interactive guide
walks health program implementers through how to use cascade
analytics to improve service delivery and client
outcomes. For policy-makers, it explains the power of the
cascade framework as an analysis tool and how it can help
identify bottlenecks and solutions, and inform quality
improvements and in-service reforms for more efficient,
client-centered services. Cascade analytics also offer a
practical way to track progress and demonstrate the concrete
impact that specific changes in service delivery have on
outcomes. In applications, we have found that cascades
provide a powerful visual summary of where care processes
stall and impact is lost. The guide helps readers master
key concepts and guides them through the process of
designing and conducting cascade analytics. It engages the
reader and facilitates step-by-step learning with
interactive features and real-life examples. The guide
contains tried and tested templates for cascade analytics
especially for non-communicable disease programs, and a
worked example on hypertension care. The tools can also be
used to better understand why clients are dropping out of
care and what opportunities exist to bring them back and
keep them in the program to attain their treatment targets.
