HMIS Fact Sheet_Dec 2012

The Health Information System (HIS) plays a vital role in this process by providing data on various health indicators. The data is collected from different sources, including health facilities, and is used to inform decision-making at the national and county levels. The data available for December 2012 shows a significant drop in reporting rates (RR) for several data sets, with some experiencing a decline of over 20% compared to October. The worst affected data set is MOH 710 (Vaccines and Immunization), which reported a RR of 62% in December compared to 91% in October. On the other hand, at least one data set has seen a comparably high increase in RR performance, from 4% in October to 16% in December. The HIS Fact Sheet for December 2012 highlights the challenges faced in improving the performance of the 60 data sets. However, it also notes the introduction of two new data sets, including 'Malaria Early Warning Data (MEWs)' and 'Statement of receipts and payment (Sources and uses of funds)'. The MEWs data set is required to be reported weekly, while the Statement of receipts and payment data set is required to be reported quarterly. The drop in RR performance is attributed to the Nurses strike, which demonstrates the impact of one of the most important elements in the HIS business process/cycle: data providers. The strike highlights the need for a robust data collection system that can withstand disruptions and ensure the continuity of data reporting. The data available for December 2012 also shows a significant improvement in reporting rates for some data sets, including MOH 105 Service Delivery Population, Baseline & Targets, which reported a RR of 61% in December compared to 28% in October. Similarly, the Population estimates data set reported a RR of 59% in December compared to 28% in October.
