Streveler, Dennis J.Sherlock, Sheila M.2013-05-292013-05-292004-09https://hdl.handle.net/10986/13655This paper begins with the premise that it is not possible to implement an efficient, modern RAP strategy today without the effective use of information technology. The paper then leads the architect through the functionality of the systems components and environment needed to support RAP, pausing to justify them at each step. The paper can be used as a long-term guide through the systems development process as it is not necessary (and likely not possible) to implement all functions at once. The paper's intended audience is those members of a planning and strategy body, working in conjunction with technical experts, who are charged with designing and implementing a RAP strategy in a developing country.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABILITY TO PAYACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO INFORMATIONAGINGALLERGIESCAPITATIONCLINICAL OUTCOMESCLINICSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY PHARMACIESCONTRACEPTIVESDISCLOSUREDISEASE PREVENTIONDISEASESDISPENSARIESECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC EFFICIENCYECONOMIC STATUSEPIDEMIOLOGICAL TRANSITIONEXTENSIONEXTERNALITIESFAMILY PLANNINGFINANCIAL CONTROLFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTGENDERHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE COSTSHEALTH CARE DELIVERYHEALTH CARE FINANCINGHEALTH CARE RESOURCESHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH CLINICSHEALTH DELIVERYHEALTH DELIVERY SYSTEMHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH FINANCINGHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INFORMATIONHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PLANSHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH PROVISIONHEALTH RECORDSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STANDARDSHEALTH STATUSHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM PERFORMANCEHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH WORKERSHEALTHCARE COSTSHOSPITALSHOUSINGHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESHYGIENEINCOMEINFORMATICSINJURIESINSURANCE MARKETSINSURERSINTEGRATIONLABORATORIESLESSONS LEARNEDMANAGED CAREMANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMSMANAGERSMARGINAL COSTMARKET FAILURESMEDICAL COSTSMEDICAL EQUIPMENTMEDICAL RECORDSMEDICAL SERVICESNON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNURSINGNURSING HOMESNUTRITIONPATIENT INFORMATIONPATIENT MANAGEMENTPATIENTSPHARMACIESPHARMACYPHYSICIANSPOLITICAL PROCESSESPREVENTIVE HEALTH SERVICESPRIVATE SECTORPROGNOSISPROMOTING HEALTHPUBLIC SECTORQUALITY CONTROLQUALITY OF CARESAFETYSANITATIONSCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGESOCIAL EXCLUSIONWASTEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/13655
