VHL Maturity Levels

The evaluation process and audience

The definition of the level of maturity is done through a self-assessment process. Periodically, the coordinating institutions of the VHL instances are invited by BIREME (VHL Network regional coordinator) to perform this activity with its consultative and/or executive committee, where aspects related to governance, organization and updating of contents, technological platforms used are observed. As a result of this process:

  • The coordinators of the instances of the VHL can identify the quality level of their structures, as well as aspects that should be developed in search of continuous improvement; and
  • BIREME receives development indicators from the Network that subsidize its regional coordination activities of the VHL and technical cooperation in management information and scientific knowledge.
