Abstract
This study aims to assess the health information system (HIS) in Jordan, and to recommend future steps to support evidence based policies and actions. A rapid evidence assessment and qualitative meta synthesis for the health information system in Jordan. The HIS in Jordan does not secure prompt availability of data and timely publication of information. Also, HIS in Jordan is complex, with multiple data sources, various types of information, and many producers and managers of data. The HIS was shown to be missing key pieces of information. These features are explained by the fact that some of the key pieces of information for the identification of the health inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes of upstream forces do not lend themselves to population survey tools, as well as the absence of some relevant modules in population surveys, and also due to the ineffective capitalization on the potentials of the institutional HIS. Jordan's strategic commitment to improving health services and the existing solid foundation of its HIS are opportunities to be capitalized on. The recent package of indicators for HIS should be used as a foundation to support the realization of an effective health information system in Jordan.
