Outcomes framework

Measure the health-system change—not the page views.

Until verified deployments and approved baselines exist, PHX describes the outcomes it is designed to improve rather than presenting projections as impact.

Outcome domains

What a country programme should be able to measure

Care coordination

Referral acknowledgement, acceptance, completion, outcome return, and avoidable delay.

Exchange reliability

Successful exchanges, recoverable failures, acknowledgements, conformance, and availability.

Coverage

Connected facilities, participating vendors, service availability, and responsible adoption.

Public-health action

Reporting timeliness, completeness, signal review, and time from authorized signal to action.

Trust

Consent coverage, appropriate access, audit evidence, incidents, corrective action, and user confidence.

Country capability

Local operating capacity, institutional ownership, sustainable financing, and knowledge transfer.

Evidence standard

Every published result needs context

01

Baseline

Define what was true before the intervention and how it was measured.

02

Intervention

Describe the approved scope without exposing confidential methods.

03

Result

Report the observed measure, period, source, and responsible approver.

04

Limitations

State uncertainty, confounding factors, missing data, and transfer limits.

Publication integrity

What PHX will not do

No invented scale

No patient, facility, country, uptime, performance, or adoption figure without current evidence.

No implied endorsement

No partner, ministry, donor, or standards-body claim without authority and permission.

No patient exposure

No personal health information or re-identifiable small-cell detail in public reporting.

Build the baseline first

Design measurement into the deployment.

Country and evaluation partners can define outcomes, safeguards, and evidence before implementation begins.
