Harnessing Data for Impact

The Ugandan Ministry of Health takes a multi-faceted approach to managing health data generated by various healthcare projects. This approach leverages a combination of paper-based tools and robust electronic systems, including the widely-used Ug EMR, DHIS2, and ALIS platforms.

To ensure optimal system functionality and data quality, IDI collaborates closely with the Ministry of Health and PEPFAR-designated partners. Through this collaboration, we provide ongoing support in the form of:

Software Updates: Ensuring health information systems remain current with the latest advancements and security protocols.
Targeted Training: Equipping healthcare personnel with the skills necessary to effectively utilize these data management systems.
Mentorship Programs: Providing ongoing guidance and support to promote data accuracy and best practices.

This integrated approach fosters the effective management and analysis of vital health data. By harnessing this data, healthcare officials are empowered to make informed decisions that drive program improvement and ultimately contribute to a more effective healthcare system for all Ugandans.
