Dieleman <strong>and</strong> Harnmeijer present a framework (see table 28) <strong>for</strong> <strong>in</strong>dicators <strong>in</strong> their literature<br />

review of promis<strong>in</strong>g <strong>HRH</strong> practices <strong>in</strong> resources poor sett<strong>in</strong>gs which attempts to synthesise<br />

various authors‘ conceptions. Per<strong>for</strong>mance is seen as the outcome of a number of factors (the<br />

availability of staff, their competences, productivity <strong>and</strong> responsiveness) that when comb<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

<strong>in</strong> various degrees of success. Process <strong>in</strong>dicators are grouped together as effects that are<br />

related to the efficiency of <strong>HRH</strong>. Indicators categories such as match<strong>in</strong>g of skills with tasks,<br />

match<strong>in</strong>g of staff with workload, <strong>and</strong> the appropriate ratio of staff to caseload listed <strong>in</strong> figure<br />

33 above could be <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the productivity section of this framework. The appropriate<br />

ratio of staff to population fits best under the availability section of effects. Outputs <strong>in</strong> this<br />

framework are related to effectiveness but health status is not <strong>in</strong>cluded.<br />

The review emphasises the need to measure <strong>in</strong>dicators at both the effect <strong>and</strong> outputs levels<br />

with the process of the implementation of <strong>in</strong>terventions be<strong>in</strong>g just as important as their<br />

results. Qualitative <strong>and</strong> quantitative <strong>in</strong>dicators are regarded as of equal value however the<br />

framework does not refer to <strong>in</strong>dividual or team per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
