In 2012, the WHO and International Telecommunication Union (ITU) National eHealth Strategy Toolkit was released. It recommended a step-by-step process to establish and document a NeSF that supports both care delivery and UHC-focused workflows. The WHO-ITU Toolkit is available here:

In 2013, the Joint Learning Network released a white paper entitled “Provider Payment Reform and Information Technology Systems: A Chicken and Egg Question for National Health Coverage Programs”. This paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding the Information Technology requirements of various payment methods. It explores the choices, trade-offs, and implications by highlighting areas where complexity and costs arise from these decisions.
