About This Book
Unique health identifiers help improve quality and continuum of care, strengthen surveillance of communicable diseases, eradicate diseases, and optimize provider and payer transactions in health financing schemes. They are important enablers for achieving Universal Health Coverage. Through this tool kit, governments and experts will learn how to assess the existing legal, policy, and institutional framework; information and communication technology infrastructure; and current use of identifiers relevant for the health sector, to inform policy decisions on advancing unique identification in the health sector.

Information
MODULE 1 LEGAL, INSTITUTIONAL, AND POLITICAL FRAMEWORK
This part of the tool kit aims to retrieve information on the legal, institutional, and political framework. These frameworks are important conditions to build robust, secure, and well-functioning unique identification in the health sector. The institutional setting contributes to well-managed and coordinated implementation of a unique health identifier for health purposes. Laws and regulations on data privacy and protection that regulate how state institutions may use data are required and need to be adapted to the age of electronic storage and ICT usage. They are important conditions to protect individuals from inappropriate privacy intrusion, data misuse, and discriminatory practices. Institutional checks and balances are important accountability and monitoring mechanisms of institutions involved in unique identification.
