The iHRIS Suite of open source software supplies health sector leaders with information to track, manage, and plan the health workforce. Because the software is open source, it can be downloaded for free and customized for local needs. Each product addresses a specific health workforce leadership issue:

-- iHRIS Qualify tracks health worker training, certification, and licensure
-- iHRIS Manage maintains personnel deployment, performance, and attrition information
-- iHRIS Plan models long-term health workforce needs

While the iHRIS Suite was designed with the health workforce in mind, it can be adapted for other types of workforces or organizations.

iHRIS was developed by the Capacity Project (2005-2009), a global project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and led by IntraHealth International. It continues to be improved and supported by subsequent IntraHealth-led projects, including the global follow-on CapacityPlus.

CapacityPlus is a USAID-funded global project focused on the health workforce needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Launched in November 2009, this five-year project draws on the extensive experience and expertise of several global partners, associate partners, and numerous regional and local organizations.
