Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is a nonprofit international health organization composed of more than 1,800 people from 72 nations. MSH’s mission is to save lives and improve the health of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people by closing the gap between knowledge and action in public health. Together with partner organizations, MSH is helping managers and leaders in developing countries to create stronger management systems that improve health services for the greatest health impact.
MSH takes an integrated approach to building high-impact sustainable programs that address critical challenges in leadership, health systems management, health service delivery, human resources, and medicines. Wherever MHS’s partnerships succeed, the positive impact of good health has a ripple effect, contributing to the building of healthy nations. MSH works collaboratively with health care policy makers, managers, providers, and the private sector to increase the efficacy, efficiency, and sustainability of health services by improving management systems, promoting access to services, and influencing public policy. As a result, more children have survived infancy, fewer mothers have died in childbirth, more lifesaving drugs have been made available, and more families have been given a choice about the number of children they will have and when they will have them. Today, MSH is organized around two technical groups focusing on specific areas of expertise. These groups draw on each other to provide professional and comprehensive assistance that meets the diverse needs of MSH donors and other organizations.
The Health Programs Group (HPG) works with ministries of health, local governments, the private sector, and nongovernmental and civil society organizations to strengthen the delivery of health care. The HPG staff develop systems and build management capacity to support the delivery of lifesaving public health services. They address geographic and financial barriers to care using innovative approaches such as community financing, community case management, public-private collaborations, and performance-based contracting for services. HPG also works with health managers at all levels to develop high-performing health organizations and programs, and to improve the capabilities of managers to lead teams and achieve results. Innovative electronic technologies reinforce HPG’s technical assistance in leadership and management.
The Pharmaceutical and Health Technologies Group (PHT) works to improve access to essential medicines and medical products and ensure the effective use of these products. MSH drug management professionals work with partners around the world to strengthen the systems needed to select, purchase, store, deliver, and use high-quality essential medicines.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health in Rwanda, MSH is seeking to hire an international consultant who will work together with a local Rwandan consultant to carry out the tasks described in the following terms of reference.
Background:
Over the past decade, the Rwandan health system has strengthened various health care demand- and supply-side policy initiatives, including Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI), Community Health Worker (CHW) program, and a Performance Based Financing mechanism.
Recently, the CBHI was integrated into the Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) with an aim to consolidate the many separate insurance pools into a single national pool, where it can be managed alongside the civil servants’ social health Insurance (RAMA) and other social protection pools like the national pension fund. In order to manage these funds and process a large number of claims more efficiently, there is a great need for automation (particularly with the claims processing system).
In a parallel initiative, the Ministry of Health (MoH) is pushing forward with an ambitious plan to implement an electronic medical records system (EMR) with an automated billing module in all public hospitals. However, in order for these two systems to exchange data there is a critical need for standardization of coding systems.
In a separate initiative, the Ministry of Health and its partners have completed comprehensive costing exercises for both the public and private sector health services that have been used to establish standardized tariffs. Through this process, a list of over 1000 separate medical procedures have been identified by Rwandan providers as the most commonly provided medical services and procedures, however, this list is not linked to any standard classification system.
Earlier efforts to select coding standards for Rwanda have resulted in the adaptation of a sub-set of ICD-10 for diagnostic coding and the anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) codes for drugs and medical supplies. However, efforts to select the most appropriate coding system for medical acts and procedures have not been as straightforward. A variety of options have been considered such as the ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Coding System), ICPC-2 (International Classification of Primary Care), the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys’ Classification of Interventions and Procedures version 4 (OPCS-4) and SNOWMED.
There is an urgent need for technical support from an international expert in medical nomenclature and coding systems to work with a local consultant and a core team of stakeholders to complete the following tasks:
