4 Core indicators Four core indicators Water Sanitation Hand hygiene Healthcare waste management Cleaning and disinfection moved to expanded Outpatient departments 4 WASH in HCF: Monitoring update 22 June 2017

5 Core indicators Indicator Definitions of Basic Service 1. Basic drinking water Water from an improved source is available on premises 2. Basic sanitation Improved sanitation facilities are available and usable, separated for patients and staff, separated for women and allowing menstrual hygiene management, and meeting the needs of people with limited mobility. 5 WASH in HCF: Monitoring update 22 June 2017

6 Indicator Definitions of Basic Service 3. Basic hand hygiene Hand hygiene materials, either a basin with water and soap or alcohol hand rub, are available at points of care and toilets. 4. Basic health care waste management Waste is safely segregated into at least three bins in the consultation area and sharps and infectious wastes are treated and disposed of safely. 6 WASH in HCF: Monitoring update 22 June 2017

7 1. What is the main source of water for the facility? 2. Where is the main water source for the facility? 3. Is water available from the main source at the time of the survey? QUESTION ON ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF WATER REMOVED 4. Is there at least one usable improved toilet available for patients at the facility? 5. Is there at least one usable improved toilet designated for women and girls, which provides facilities to manage menstrual hygiene needs? 6. Is there at least one usable improved toilet designated for staff? 7. Is there at least one usable improved toilet that meets the needs of people with reduced mobility? 8. Are there functional hand hygiene stations available at points of care on the day of the survey? 9. Are there functional hand hygiene stations available at toilets on the day of the survey? 10. Is waste safely segregated into at least three labelled bins in the consultation area? 11. How does this facility treat and/or dispose of sharps waste? 12. How does this facility treat and/or dispose of infectious waste? 7 WASH in HCF: Monitoring update 22 June 2017

8 Monitoring WASH in HCF: Using the Core Indicators Lindsay Denny Center for Global Safe WASH at Emory University

9 Moving Beyond OPD Definition of facility size? Available services, patient load, WASH needs Ex: Hospital vs. non-hospital Meeting the indicator where? What is coverage?

10 Water 1: The proportion of health care facilities with basic water supply Facilities where the main source of water is an improved source (W1), located on premises (W2), from which water is available at the time of the survey (W3). OUR EXPERIENCE: Minimal interpretation Easiest of the core indicators to monitor Snapshot may not be accurate of the water supply year-round, recommend asking about seasonality.

11 Sanitation 2: The proportion of health care facilities with basic sanitation Facilities with improved toilets or latrines for patients located on premises (S1), that are functional at the time of visit, with at least one toilet designated for women/girls with facilities to manage menstrual hygiene needs (S2), at least one separated for staff (S3), and at least one meeting the needs of people with limited mobility (S4). OUR EXPERIENCE: Most detailed core indicator, however not difficult to collect data on the individual questions. Provides an adequate picture of the sanitation Usable vs. functional Gaining access to locked toilets Numbers of toilets

12 Hand Hygiene 3: The proportion of health care facilities with basic hand hygiene Facilities with hand hygiene stations including a basin with water and soap, or alcohol-based hand rubs, present at critical points of care (H1) and within 5 m of toilets (H2). OUR EXPERIENCES: Interpretation of critical points of care. Alcohol hand rub: Trolleys and pockets. Random selection per ward? Access to hand hygiene materials at all toilets?

13 Waste Management 4: The proportion of health care facilities practicing basic healthcare waste management. Facilities where waste is safely segregated in the consultation area (M1) and infectious (M2) and sharps wastes (M3) are treated and disposed of safely. OUR EXPERIENCES: Segregation question is straight forward. Treatment/disposal are the only reported responses for core indicators asking the correct individual. All bins in all wards for coverage?

14 SDG Target Drinking water Sanitation Hygiene Advanced service Advanced service Advanced service Health Care Waste Advanced service (to be defined at national level) (to be defined at national level) (to be defined at national level) (to be defined at national level) Basic service Water from an improved source on site is available at time of survey Basic service Improved facilities, separated for patients and staff, for men and women, and useable by those with limited mobility Basic service Hand hygiene facilities are available at points of care and toilets Basic service Waste is segregated into bins, and sharps and infectious wastes are safely treated and disposed. Limited service There is an improved source, but off premises or not available at time of survey Limited service There are improved facilities, but not usable or do not meet the needs of specific groups Limited service Hand hygiene stations at some, but not all, points of care and latrines Limited service Waste is segregated but not disposed of safely, or bins are in place but not used effectively No service No improved water source No service No improved toilets or latrines No service No hand hygiene stations with soap and water or alcohol based handrub No service Waste is not segregated or safely treated and disposed

15 Integrating indicators into HMIS Country updates Afghanistan undertook a quick review of questions and will be updating HMIS later in 2017 Laos, Ethiopia PNG adding to annual facility inventory survey Issues to address Frequency of data collection? 15 WASH in HCF: Monitoring update 22 June 2017

16 TdH / Christian Brun Using & Adapting Expanded Indicators in Mali (In addition to Core Indicators) WASH in HCF Monitoring Task Team 22 June 2017 John.Brogan@tdh.ch Samuel.Renggli@eawag.ch

17 WATER Expanded List adaptation summary XW1 Does the water available in the outpatient department meet national standards for E. coli, residual chlorine and Arsenic? Added questions: for Who performed the test?, and Date of most recent test. XW3 Are different water sources used for different purposes, e.g. drinking, washing and cleaning, medical procedures? Not tested XW4 Are procedures in place and followed consistently for keeping different water supplies independent and well identified? Not tested 17

18 18 WATER Continued XW5 In the last two weeks, did the outpatient department have enough water for drinking, food preparation, personal hygiene, medical activities, cleaning and laundry? Testing: In general, is there enough water available for x, y, z.? XW6 In the previous two weeks, was drinking water from the main source available for staff, patients and carers throughout each day? Testing: Is there routinely a time of the day when the facility has a severe shortage or lack of water? XW8 Drinking Water Point in the Outpatient Area? Not Tested Added: (Observation) How much functional water storage capacity is available on the facility premises in litres?
