Peer Consultant Job Aid: Master Facility List (MFL)

It contains a unique code assigned permanently to each facility, which remains unchanged. The list includes permanent data such as the facility's name, directions to locate it, and geocodes, as well as semi-permanent data that may change over time, such as the name of the health facility's in-charge and the types of services offered. The MFL does not store monthly data, personnel data, or personnel data on each facility. It is accessible through the website www.ehealth.or.ke/facilities, which has two separate sites: a public site for general access and a login site for authorized data managers for data entry, updating, and record management. The public site allows users to search for facilities and review their details, while the login site is used for data management and record updates. To access and explore the MFL, users can open a web browser and navigate to the website. They can use the quick search tool to find facilities by name or location. Additionally, users can report any mistakes in facility details and request changes through the website. There are two ways to search for a facility: by typing the facility's name in the search field or by using the Advanced Search function. The Advanced Search function allows users to search for facilities by name, location, or other criteria. Users can also use the search function to find facilities that offer specific services or have specific characteristics. When searching for a facility, users can verify the accuracy of the data by checking for any discrepancies or errors. If errors are found, users can record the necessary updates and apply them through the login site or communicate the changes to relevant personnel. The MFL is an essential tool for healthcare professionals and administrators in Kenya, providing a comprehensive and accurate list of facilities operating in the country. By using the MFL, users can access information on facility locations, services offered, and other relevant details, enabling them to make informed decisions and improve healthcare delivery.
