A national AIDS program evaluation system has been applied to the ranking of the performance of involved public health organizations in China since 2007. The system provides quantitative performance comparison information based on automatic mining of the data stored in a unified web-based national information system, China AIDS Comprehensive Response Information Management System (the CRIMS). Hence, the quality of the AIDS program evaluation system is directly related to the data quality in the CRIMS. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the AIDS program evaluation system. The research method is qualitative interview of public health practitioners in Jiangxi Province. The public health practitioners believed that the introduction and ongoing usage of the CRIMS has significantly transformed the practice of AIDS prevention and control. They believed that the AIDS program evaluation system has brought in increased accountability of public health. They suggested that the accuracy and completeness of AIDS program evaluation needs to go beyond the data from the CRIMS. Further research will continue to identify the unknown factors that undermine the performance of AIDS programs in China.
自2007年以来，一个国家艾滋病项目评估系统已被用于对中国相关公共卫生组织的绩效进行排名。该系统基于对存储在统一的基于网络的国家信息系统——中国艾滋病综合防治信息管理系统（CRIMS）中的数据进行自动挖掘，提供定量的绩效比较信息。因此，艾滋病项目评估系统的质量与CRIMS中的数据质量直接相关。本研究旨在评估艾滋病项目评估系统的绩效。研究方法是对江西省的公共卫生从业者进行定性访谈。公共卫生从业者认为，CRIMS的引入和持续使用显著改变了艾滋病预防和控制的实践。他们认为，艾滋病项目评估系统提高了公共卫生的问责制。他们建议，艾滋病项目评估的准确性和完整性需要超越CRIMS的数据。进一步的研究将继续识别影响中国艾滋病项目绩效的未知因素。
