Drawing on country implementation experiences, the guide describes a consistent, adaptable and replicable process for localizing DAKs to national health system contexts and incorporating their content into new or existing digital systems. The process covers country assessment and stakeholder orientation, localization and validation of DAK content, digital system development or updating, and implementation through training, continuous monitoring and change management.<\/p>\n<p>DAKs are one of the foundational layers of the SMART Guidelines approach, which translate narrative guidelines into systematic documentation for use in digital systems. DAKs are software-neutral, meaning that they can be used to inform the design of digital systems, independent of a specific software application.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"dynamic-content__details\">\n<div class=\"detail who-team\">\n<div class=\"label\">WHO Team<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n                 <span><br \/>\n                             <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/teams\/digital-health-and-innovation\">Data, Digital Health, Analytics and AI (DDA)<\/a>,                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nHuman Reproduction Special Programme (HRP),                  <\/span><br \/>\n                 <span><br \/>\nSexual, Reproductive, Maternal, Child, Adolescent and Ageing Health (LHR)                 <\/span>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Editors<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">World Health Organization <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Number of pages<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">41<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Reference numbers<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<div><strong class=\"label-sm\">ISBN: <\/strong><span>978-92-4-012028-0<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Copyright<\/div>\n<p>                <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"creativecommons-icons-wrappers\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/igo\/deed.en\" rel=\"license\" title=\"Click here to see the details of CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 IGO\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/cc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/by.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/nc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/sa.svg\"><br \/>\n                <\/a>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240120280?rand=6398\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download (1.8 MB) Overview This implementation facilitation guide provides ministries of health, system developers, digital health implementers and technology partners with a structured framework for adapting and using Digital adaptation kits (DAKs) to strengthen service delivery and optimize the impact of digital systems.
