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.

Participants from CSSC supported facilities will be trained, preferably data clerk. This training will have participant from RMO and DMO offices in order to strengthen collaboration with the government as well as to build capacity to them so as to make it easier for them on managing these data clerks but also be on the same page with the data clerks in terms of the new knowledge updates and sometimes it will be easier for them to identify gaps during their supervision and work on them.
