ISSUES• MOH 731 generated monthly by facilities

offering HIV care services• Manual compilation and validation process

poses a big challenge – data quality issues of incompleteness, inaccuracy,

unreliability and untimeliness

DESCRIPTION• The KenyaEMR , an open source EMR system

developed by I-TECH, was installed in Ndaragwa Health Centre in August 2013

• Retrospective data entry was completed within two months

• Point of care implementation commenced in October 2013 and real time data entry ensued

• The facility auto-generated the first MOH 731 report in November 2013 which addressed the previous compilation & validation issues

Description cont’• Inter alia, the indicators reported in MOH 731 include:-– Patients newly enrolled in care– Patients initiated on ART– Current patients on care– Current patients on ARV’s– Cumulative patients on care– Cumulative patients on ART– ART Net cohort at 12 months

LESSONS LEARNT

• The Electronic system has:-– Aided in patient management and better follow-

up– Eased monthly report generation burden• Reduced effort• Reduced time • Data quality issues substantially improved

– Enabled the facility to focus more in enhancing data quality, promoting data use

Lessons learnt cont’

• Data validation simplified – the system provides a line list of all patients for

each indicator and hence easier and faster validation

• The system however requires dedication– Health information– Health facility staff

NEXT STEPS

• Addition of modules for other services besides HIV care and treatment as well as their reports– This will go a long way in easing data management

and improve overall patient management

• Linking the KenyaEMR to DHIS which will obviate the need for double data entry
