Welcome to the Kenya National Health Terminologies Service
This repository serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding and utilizing the data standards and terminology used within Kenya's Ministry of Health (MOH) healthcare systems.
The Kenya National Health Terminologies Service is a vital component of Kenya's healthcare infrastructure, providing standardized terminology and data elements essential for effective health information management, interoperability, and data exchange across various health information systems.
The primary purpose of this repository is to provide a digital representation of Kenya's National Health Data Dictionary, which serves as a foundation for harmonizing health data collection, storage, and reporting processes across the country's healthcare ecosystem.
Standardized Terminology: The National Health Data Dictionary offers a standardized set of terminologies and data elements for defining health indicators, services, and interventions.
Interoperability: By adhering to common data standards, the dictionary promotes interoperability among different health information systems, facilitating seamless data exchange and integration.
Data Governance: It establishes guidelines and best practices for data governance, ensuring data quality, consistency, and security in health information management.
Adaptability: The dictionary is designed to be adaptable to evolving healthcare needs and technological advancements, accommodating changes and updates as necessary.
This repository serves as a central repository for the National Health Data Dictionary, housing documentation, schemas, and related resources necessary for understanding and implementing the data standards defined by Kenya's Ministry of Health.
Contributions to the National Health Data Dictionary are welcomed and encouraged. Whether you're proposing updates to existing terminologies, suggesting new data elements, or providing feedback on documentation, your contributions play a vital role in enhancing the quality and usability of Kenya's health data infrastructure. Please refer to the contribution guidelines and code of conduct outlined in this repository to ensure that your contributions align with the project's objectives and standards.
