This guideline seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations on the use of home-based records for MNCH outcomes. This will enable country-level decision-makers and health care providers to better understand the value of home-based records, their impact on a broad set of outcomes, and their potential contribution to strengthening the quality of health service delivery and health systems. It is intended to be used by policy-makers and programme managers to help them decide whether home-based records should feature more prominently in their MCH programmes, and to encourage more effective implementation.
