Responsiveness assessment of health system with the quality information is the key in effective evidence-based management of the health system.

Objectives: This qualitative study defines the necessary components required for the health system responsiveness assessment information system (HS-RAIS).

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted based on mixed-methods approach and by using Delphi technique (29 participants in first round and 25 participants in second round) and semi-structured interviews in Iran 2013.

The participant selection strikes a balance between being able to provide valid data, and increasing representative’s leverage.

The final framework for HS-RAIS was extracted from in-depth interviews with ten key informants.

Results: We followed these recommendations and developed a framework in 10 components including: minimum datasets, data sources, data gathering, data analysis, feedback and dissemination, legislative needs, objectives of health system responsiveness assessment, repetition period, executive committee and stewardship.

Conclusions: This framework provides useful information for decision-making at all levels about assessment of health system.
