AbstractCOVID-19started outbreaks in Indonesia from March 2020, with a large spread rate making not only Indonesia, but all exposed countries in the world find the difficulties to deal with it. The advance of technology has been used to overcome the COVID-19 cases. The Ministry of Health supported by Health Information System Programme (HISP) Indonesia adopted the DHIS2 platform in the development of a contact tracing application called SILACAK. In this study, we will discuss the development of the SILACAK application which is used as a COVID-19contact tracing application in Indonesia. The method in this study is a qualitative method with an action research approach. The use of SILACAK starts from the primary healthcare level by utilizing health workers and collaboration with volunteers and The Indonesian National Military and The Indonesia National Police. The use of SILACAK was used in stages and in July 2020 it was used by 34 provinces. Currently SILACAK is used as a tool for tracking and monitoring close contact, in which close contact tracing (at least 80%) and the ratio of close contact to confirmation cases are used as a national reference (1:15).  However, for some regions there are those that cannot exceed this provision because tacthe number of close contacts does not exceed the specified limit. So that, another assessment was also carried out to see the performance of contact tracing, which consisted of: close contacts who conducted entry and exit tests, close contacts who were monitored and completed the monitoring.Keyword: SILACAK, DHIS2, COVID-19, contact tracing applicationAbstrakCOVID-19 memasuki Indonesia di bulan Maret 2020, dengan laju penyebaran yang besar membuat tidak hanya Indonesia tapi seluruh negara yang terpapar di dunia merasa kesulitan dalam menghadapinya. Kecanggihan teknologi dimanfaatkan untuk menanggulangi COVID-19. Kementerian Kesehatan didukung oleh Health Information System Programme (HISP) Indonesia mengadopsi platform DHIS2 dalam pengembangan aplikasi Pelacakan Kasus Kontak COVID-19 yang disebut SILACAK. Dalam penelitian ini akan membahas perkembangan aplikasi SILACAK yang digunakan sebagai aplikasi pelacakan kontak COVID-19 di Indonesia. Metode dalam penelitian ini dengan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan action research. Pemanfaatan SILACAK dimulai dari level puskesmas dengan memanfaatkan tenaga Kesehatan dan berkolaborasi dengan relawan serta TNI dan POLRI. Penggunaan SILACAK digunakan secara bertahap dan di bulan Juli 2020 dimanfaatkan oleh 34 provinsi.  Saat ini SILACAK dijadikan sebagai alat untuk pelacakan dan pemantauan kontak erat, yang mana pelacakan kontak erat (minimal 80%) dan rasio kontak erat dengan kasus konfirmasi yang dijadikan sebagai acuan Nasional (1:15). Namun beberapa daerah belum bisa memenuhi angka tersebut di karena kan angka dari jumlah kontak eratnya tidak memenuhi sampai angka tersebut. Sehingga dalam menilai suatu kinerja dari keberhasilan pelacakan kontak suatu daerah juga dapat mempertimbangkan dari kontak erat yang dilakukan entry tes dan exit tes, kontak erat yang dilakukan pemantauan dan menyelesaikan pemantauannya.Kata Kunci: SILACAK, DHIS2, COVID-19, aplikasi pelacakan kontak

The primary aim around developing and optimizing an electronic health record is to improve patient care and population health. The objective of this study is to design and evaluate an action research approach for the optimization of the design of a summary page artefact within an electronic health record for newborn healthcare. An action research approach was chosen for its participatory democratic process for developing practical knowledge and solutions. Collaborative workshops lead by an independent graphic facilitator with a ‘bottom up’ approach, involving self-selected motivated members from multidisciplinary healthcare teams, were designed and conducted. To evaluate this approach, insights were drawn from behavioural and design science paradigms to demonstrate that knowledge and understanding of the design problem and its solution were acquired in building the optimized summary page artefact. Information system development for healthcare requires consideration not just of what we do but how and why we do things. Our analysis demonstrates that action design research represents an agile and lean approach for successful optimization and implementation of information system development in healthcare.

Abstract Background: Health information systems (HIS) in most developing countries face many challenges. In view of recurrent weaknesses in preparedness and response during the management of epidemics, we have examined the organization and function of the health information system in Burkina Faso.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 including a review of HIS documents, key informant interviews and direct observations. The study was conducted at the public primary health care (PHC) and community level of Bama and Soumagou in the rural health districts of Dandé and Tenkodogo. Study participants included community-based health workers (CBHWs) and health workers in the PHCs area, community-based organization animators (CBOA), CBO monitoring-evaluation officers and members of the District management team (DMT).Results: While reporting forms used in all health facilities are standardized, they are not necessarily well understood at community level and at the health center. Reports prepared by CBHWs are often delayed by the head nurse at the primary health care service. Case definitions of epidemic diseases are not always well understood by community-based health workers and front-line health workers.Conclusion: The health information system in Burkina Faso could be further improved. There is a need to hold regular training/refresher sessions for agents involved in surveillance and to ensure the development of simplified case definitions for emerging diseases and/or diseases of public health interest for community use. Furthermore, existing epidemic management committees need to be revitalize.

BACKGROUND Improving capacities of health systems to quickly respond to emerging health issues, requires a health information system (HIS) that facilitates evidence-informed decision-making at the operational level. In many sub-Saharan African countries, HIS are mostly designed to feed decision-making purposes at the central level with limited feedbacks and capabilities to take action from data at the operational level. OBJECTIVE This paper presents the case of an e-health innovation designed to capacitate health district management teams (HDMTs) through participatory evidence production and peer-to-peer exchange. METHODS With an action-research design, we developed District.team, a web-based and facilitated platform targeting HDMTs. On District.team, knowledge sharing processes are organized in cycles. Each cycle has fundamentally five steps: i) identification of a health issue to investigate together; ii) development of the online questionnaire by the facilitation team; iii) completion of the questionnaire by the HDMTs; iv) data analysis, production and publication of results; and v) discussion of results on the online discussion forum. This initiative was tested in Benin and Guinea from January 2016 to September 2017. The action-research methodology allowed us to progressively improve the approach. The evaluation rests on mixed methods data collection techniques including data extraction from intermediary reports, web analytics, nine focus groups and 18 semi-structured interviews of key stakeholders. Besides the documentation of the level of participation on the platform, we have collected data on the barriers and enablers affecting the participation of the district medical teams. RESULTS Participation on the platform was good. District.team improved explicit (data) and tacit (experience and exchange) knowledge exchange among HDMT members in Benin and Guinea. Five groups of factors affect participation: characteristics of the digital tools, the facilitation effort, profile of participants, shared content and data and support by the leadership from health authorities. CONCLUSIONS District.team has shown that there is room for knowledge management platforms and processes valuing horizontal knowledge sharing among peers active at the decentralized levels of health systems in poor resource settings. We recommend health authorities to promote the integration of such initiatives in existing health information system platforms.

Objective:  To evaluate the general status and functioning of health information system (HIS) in district Nowshera. Methodology: An observational study was conducted in district Nowshera Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan between June 2015-2016.The study population included all districts, health information system (HIS) health workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. District Nowshera was selected for the purpose on non probability sampling technique. The data collection instruments used in this study was adapted from the PRISM tool package that was modified for the purpose of this study.    Results:   A total of 30 health facilities of District Nowshera were assessed for Quality of Data and Use of Information through DHIS Diagnostic Tool. 60% of the health facilities compile DHIS data and 93% do not get feedback from DHO office. 94% of the health facilities have not displayed map of their catchment areas. 87% of the health facilities do not arrange meetings regarding the managerial issues. Regarding the use of information, no documentation is available in any health facility of the district. The DHIS workers were assessed and interpreted according to the scale of Mann-Whitney-U method. The organizational and behavioral assessment was done which was statically insignificant.  Conclusion: There is an immediate need to install the system wide up gradation of technology and software. The manageable data would help the health personnel and managers to formulate the policies that would be helpful in up grading the standard of HIS and a universal HIS should be operated throughout the province.

IntroductionFront-line health workers in remote health facilities are the first contact of the formal health sector and are confronted with life-saving decisions. Health information systems (HIS) support the collection and use of health related data. However, HIS focus on reporting and are unfit to support decisions. Since data tools are paper-based in most primary healthcare settings, we have produced an innovative Paper-based Health Information System in Comprehensive Care (PHISICC) using a human-centred design approach. We are carrying out a cluster randomised controlled trial in three African countries to assess the effects of PHISICC compared with the current systems.Methods and analysisStudy areas are in rural zones of Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique and Nigeria. Seventy health facilities in each country have been randomly allocated to using PHISICC tools or to continuing to use the regular HIS tools. We have randomly selected households in the catchment areas of each health facility to collect outcomes’ data (household surveys have been carried out in two of the three countries and the end-line data collection is planned for mid-2021). Primary outcomes include data quality and use, coverage of health services and health workers satisfaction; secondary outcomes are additional data quality and use parameters, childhood mortality and additional health workers and clients experience with the system. Just prior to the implementation of the trial, we had to relocate the study site in Mozambique due to unforeseen logistical issues. The effects of the intervention will be estimated using regression models and accounting for clustering using random effects.Ethics and disseminationEthics committees in Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique and Nigeria approved the trials. We plan to disseminate our findings, data and research materials among researchers and policy-makers. We aim at having our findings included in systematic reviews on health systems interventions and future guidance development on HIS.Trial registration numberPACTR201904664660639; Pre-results.
