Technical Assistance for HIV AIDS surveillance in Haiti

Mentor and support the NASTAD/Haiti Data Manager (DM) and other NASTAD staff to ensure all data are processed and available for use by MSPP, CDC, and other partners. This includes coaching and troubleshooting with the DM as needed. Support the DM and other NASTAD staff to ensure that all data reported are of quality, and that data describe what they purport to, especially as it relates to patient tracking (duplicate or not; progression through care, understanding missing values). This includes selecting and testing various input fields via communication with NASTAD/Haiti (via site visits) and electronic medical records (EMR) managers. Provide technical assistance to train NASTAD staff on the use of reporting databases and data sets; incorporate changes and updates that are suggested. Work with Haiti staff and partners to validate data quality, completeness and timeliness. Conduct validation activities to test the effectiveness of the current case matching algorithm, including assistance with adding biometric information in the algorithm. Work with NASTAD Haiti staff and partners to develop updated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and protocols to document: 1) regular electronic data transfer from EMRs to Solutions; 2) routine data checking, cleaning and feedback to EMRs; 3) production of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) reports for use by EMRs, sites, and NASTAD staff working with reporting sites. Collaboratively develop reports on data quality and completeness, as well on treatment and care processes to be provided to the ministry of health and partners implementing EMR and treatment and care services.
