Research study -9 Improve the HMIS data quality of Rajasthan 2012-13 Objectives 1. To assess month wise completeness of data uploading-State and district level, (data uploaded and committed). 2. To assess completeness of data element wise (Coverage/Zero and Blanks). 3. To analyse district wise consistency checks through validation error/outlier checks. 4. To find out the district wise institutional availability of services ; based on quarterly and annual reports. Findings 1. The Overall validation errors were reported 177 in 2011-12 while this figure for 2012-13 was increased at level of 608. 2. Maximum error 167 reported in variable of BCG. 3. The highest validation error reported in Kota district (38) followed by Baran (32) and Barmer (31). 4. About 85 percent of the errors reported from October 2012 to march 2013. Suggestion The data of HMIS format of various level of facility shows that higher facilities like District hospital and Sub district hospital had more validation error in HMIS data because of lack of HMIS trained manpower in preparation of HMIS format. Therefore it is suggested that who are involved in preparation of HMIS data format at higher facility should be trained.
