Data management Training

CSSC – ART project is conducting training on Data management to data clerks from new computerized LPTFs and new data clerks from old facilities. This is the part of capacity building to these staff so that they can perform their day to day activities effectively. This training will cover the discussion on how data can be managed on improving the quality of data they are collecting and using which will led to quality of services at facility level. Data collection tools such as CTC2 cards, exposed infants cards, TB screening tools, CTC2 database, cohort reports, cross sectional report, ART registers, appointment register and miss appointment register will be discussed in detailed. These tools are the ones used for monitoring of the patients and the facility in general.

This will be an avenue to discuss in details how the filling system should be for easier tracking of the clients’ files, confidentiality in terms of how the storage of clients files should be, how to manage the database and data recording and reporting tools for confidentiality as well as monitoring the clients.
