HIV Data Management

Data Management:

As defined within the purview of the GHS Act 525, health facilities spanning both the private and public sectors are mandated to report on all availed services. These reports are channeled through the appropriate District, Municipal, Sub-Metropolitan, or Metropolitan Health Directorates, aligning with their respective locations. Conforming to this framework, the District Health Information Management System (DHIMS) serves as the repository for routine health service data. Those health facilities utilizing Electronic Medical Record Systems (EMRs) adhere to approved guidelines, ensuring their systems' compatibility with DHIMS for seamless interoperability.

Facility-derived data summaries are subjected to verification by designated in-charges, meticulously documented, and subsequently validated for integration into DHIMS. Data, serving as a quintessential foundation for national reporting requirements, is retrievable and deployable on the 25th day of the ensuing month. This data is secured under a "locked" state after a span of 60 days, a reduction from the preceding 90-day period. For facilities bereft of computer access, verified data is transmitted to the sub-district for further validation and subsequent data entry. With an upward trajectory, districts compile quarterly activity reports from sub-districts and facilities, a compendium forwarded to the regional level for further consolidation and onward submission to the national echelon.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS: All Health Professionals involved in the management of HIV / AIDS, and management of related data.
