Assessing the feasibility of using publicly available data sources to identify healthcare data discrepancies and enhance service delivery: a retrospective cross-sectional study of four low human index scoring countries.

Quality of care (QoC) remains a persistent challenge in countries with low Human Development Index scores (LHDIS) despite global efforts to promote universal health coverage. Addressing root causes and systematically implementing improvement interventions in LHDIS countries require a better understanding and use of QoC data. We aim to describe the data gaps and illustrate the state of quality in health services across a small set of countries. We demonstrate how we can leverage currently available, although imperfect, public data sources to compile quality metrics across multiple LHDIS countries.
