Foreword
As part of the continuous efforts in assisting the Universal Health Care

Integration Sites (UHC IS) in integrating their local health systems into Province-Wide
and City-Wide Health Systems with the aim of addressing health system inefficiencies,
the Local Health Systems Maturity Levels Information System (LHS ML IS) was
designed and developed by the Bureau of Local Health Systems Development
(BLHSD). This information system will help improve the mechanism in collecting the
integration status of the UHC IS, as well as their technical assistance needs so that be
prompt and appropriate support will be provided.
The first half of the six-year transitory period provided in Republic Act No.
11223 or the Universal Health Care Act to accomplish the integration of local health
systems in select local government units (LGUs) is almost over. However, there are still
a lot to refine in implementing this reform to ensure that its contribution in improving
the health outcomes will be evident in the independent study to be commissioned by the
Joint Congressional Oversight Committee (JCOC) on UHC, and that such improvement
will be felt by every Juan and Juana.
The DOH, PhilHealth, UHC IS, and local and international health partners shall
continue working on the shared vision of making the Filipinos among the healthiest
people in Asia by 2040.

Users of this Manual
This User’s Manual intends to provide the general description and step-by-step guide in
navigating the Local Health Systems Maturity Levels Information System (LHS ML IS). The Manual
shall be used by key implementers of the integration of local health systems into Province-Wide and
City-Wide Health Systems (P/CWHS): 1) Universal Health Care Integration Sites (UHC IS) or Local
Government Units (LGUs) that committed to implement the integration reform; 2) DOH-
Provincial/City DOH Offices (P/CDOHOs) that are assisting the UHC IS to achieve the key results
areas (KRAs) of the different integration characteristics; 3) DOH-Centers for Health Development and
Ministry of Health-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao; and 4) concerned CO
Bureaus and Services that are overseeing the different integration characteristics.
Organization of this Manual

The Manual is organized into two chapters. Chapter 1 provides the legal basis for the
implementation of the integration of local health systems into P/CWHS, as well as the overview of the
data collection and validation processes to track progress. On the other hand, Chapter 2 discusses the
LHS ML IS, its system requirements, main interface including the icons and commands used in the
system, validation status of the monitoring forms, and five (5) different modules that outlines the
procedures in using the system.
The five modules include: Module 1 which discusses the general process on how all users can
access the information system; Module 2 which guides the LGU users in performing their expected
tasks; Module 3 which is the dedicated module for the P/CDOHO users; Module 4 which provides the
process on how the DOH-CHD/MOH-BARMM users can use the system; and Module 5 which gives
the DOH-CO users the directions in accessing the system.
Also included as Annex to this Manual is a copy of the LHS ML Monitoring Tool version 2
issued through Department Memorandum No. 2021-0277 which served as the main reference in the
design and development of the LHS ML IS.

I. Background
Republic Act (RA) No. 11223, otherwise known as the “Universal Health Care Act”, provides
for the organization of the local health systems (LHS) into Province-Wide and City-Wide Health
Systems (P/CWHS) to help in addressing fragmentation in health service delivery and health system
management. It enforces the accountability of the Local Government Units (LGUs) provided in RA No.
7160, otherwise known as the “Local Government Code of 1991”, in ensuring access of their
constituents to quality and safe basic health services. Further, the integration of local health systems
highlights the importance of inter-LGU cooperation in attaining health sector goals. Since the Philippine
Public Health Care Delivery System had been working on a devolved set-up since 1991, the UHC Act
and its IRR stipulated that the integration reform, which focuses on select management support systems
and programs, is to be implemented first in LGUs that expressed their intent to organize the P/CWHS.
These LGUs shall endeavor to achieve managerial integration in the first three years, and financial
integration in the next three years of implementation of the UHC Act. This is to first assess the overall
benefit of the integration before mandating its nationwide implementation six (6) years after the
enactment of the Act, and to give the LGUs, DOH, PhilHealth and other stakeholders ample time to
learn and refine the implementation nuts and bolts of integration.
To guide the Universal Health Care Integration Sites (UHC IS), three (3) overarching policies
were issued by the DOH, namely Administrative Order (AO) No. 2020-0019 on “Guidelines on the
Service Delivery Design of Health Care Provider Networks (HCPNs)” which defines the standards for
the establishment of the HCPNs; AO No. 2020-0021 on “Guidelines on Integration of the Local
Health Systems into Province-Wide and City-Wide Health Systems (P/CWHS)” which provides the
general procedures and mechanisms on integration; and AO No. 2020-0037 on “Guidelines on
Implementation of the LHS ML” which identifies the LHS ML as the framework to progressively
realize the integration of local health systems into P/CWHS.
The LHS ML has four (4) major components, as reflected on the table:
Table 1. LHS ML Components

Building Blocks Fundamental components of the health systems based on the World Health
Organization (WHO): 1) Leadership and Governance; 2) Financing; 3)
Health Workforce; 4) Information; 5) Medical Products, Vaccines and
Technologies; and 6) Service Delivery
Characteristics Features of the integrated local health system based on Sections 41.4.c and
41.4.d of the UHC Act IRR
Key Result Areas Minimum outputs expected to be delivered by the P/CWHS that can
(KRAs) facilitate the achievement of integration. Means of verification or
documentary evidences are used as bases to identify the status of each KRA.
Levels of Preparatory Level (Level 1) – covers KRAs relating to preparatory works
Progression and other supporting mechanisms needed for the integration
Organizational Level (Level 2) – covers KRAs that are important for
organization and management of the integrated LHS. Other UHC Act
reforms that have effects on integration are also covered.
Functional Level (Level 3) – covers KRAs to monitor functionality of the
integrated management support systems
To facilitate the assessment and monitoring of the progress of local health systems integration,
the LHS ML Monitoring Tool was crafted. It is a self-assessment and a validation tool that specifies the
means of verification (MOVs) and evidences that serve as bases in identifying the status under each
KRA. The tool consists of two (2) parts – 1) the Summary Form which reflects the general information,
summary of progress, and recommended interventions and/or assistance needed by the UHC IS; and 2)
the ten (10) Monitoring Forms, one per characteristic which specify the building block, monitoring
tool code, integration characteristic, and MOVs.
Page 5 of 109
An MOV is tagged as “Achieved” if the UHC IS was able to provide an approved document or
met the set target indicated in the tool. An MOV has a status of “Ongoing” if the UHC IS was able to
provide a draft document or when the target set was not met but initiatives have already started to attain
the MOV. “Not Yet Started” status is given if there are no existing initiatives to achieve the MOV. On
the other hand, the status of the KRAs depend on the status of its corresponding MOV/s. KRAs with
only one MOV follow the status of that MOV. If a KRA has multiple MOVs and these MOVs have the
same status, the KRA will have the same status. If a KRA has multiple MOVs but these MOVs have
different status, the KRA will be tagged as “Ongoing”.
The data collection and validation process of LHS ML starts with the self-assessment by the UHC
IS which is facilitated by the Provincial/City Health Board (P/CHB), through the P/CHO. They then
have to endorse the accomplished and signed LHS ML Monitoring Tool and MOVs tagged to have
“Achieved” or “Ongoing” status to their respective P/CDOHO and CHD/MOH-BARMM. The
submitted tool and MOVs are reviewed and validated by the concerned P/CDOHO and CHD/MOH-
BARMM. The results of the first level data review and validation are then endorsed to the concerned
CO Bureau/Service for second level data review and validation. Once completed, the results of the
second level data review and validation are endorsed to the Bureau of Local Health Systems
Development (BLHSD) for consolidation. BLHSD drafts the official LHS ML National Report and
facilitates the approval and dissemination of the report to all stakeholders.
The figure below provides the summary of the data collection and validation process of LHS ML.

II. Local Health Systems Maturity Levels Information System (LHS
ML IS)
The Local Health Systems Maturity Levels Information System (LHS ML IS) was designed and
developed to facilitate the collection, consolidation and analysis of information on the progress of
implementing the integration reform. It shall serve as the main platform for the encoding of status and
uploading of the LHS ML MOVs by the UHC IS, and validation of results by the CHDs, MOH-
BARMM and concerned Central Office Bureaus and Services. It also has a messaging platform for ease
of communication among key implementers and a repository for the MOVs submitted by the UHC IS
that were validated by the CHDs, MOH-BARMM, and Central Office Bureaus and Services to have
“Achieved” status.
A. System Requirements
To use the system, a user should have an internet connection, electronic device and web browser.
Internet Connection: The internet connection speed should at least be 1 mbps
Electronic Device: A user may use any of the following to access and navigate the system:

Encoding Status means that a concerned LGU User Account is still

in the process of completing the needed information for a particular
integration characteristic’s monitoring tool. The encoding status is
computed as follows:
UHC IS is required to encode the status

for all MOVs of a particular integration
60% for the Encoding characteristic. Each MOV is allotted a
of MOV Status particular percentage, depending on the
total number of MOVs in that
characteristic.
40% for Recommended UHC IS is required to identify presence
Interventions/Assistance of recommended interventions or
Needed technical assistance needs.
Ongoing Validation (CHD) means that the concerned CHD or

MOH-BARMM is still conducting the 1st level data review and
validation.
Ongoing Validation (CO) means that the concerned CO
Bureau/Service is still conducting the 2nd level data review and
