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 followup
– 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
