These
tools may be adapted to serve the specific needs of a health care
system and give a framework of important considerations. Quantitative
measures of the process of change can be captured by self-assessment,
even though it may take a long time to change outcome measures.
The MacColl Institute and IHS rating systems are quantitative so
that it is easier to measure progress over time. The BPHC Collaborative
tool has a yes-no checklist format that may be preferable for its
simplicity. The key to using these self-assessment tools is the
recognition of the importance of each component in creating effective
health systems change.
