Kenya recently transitioned from a paper to an electronic system for recording and reporting of tuberculosis (TB) data.
During September-October 2013, the data quality of the new system was evaluated through an audit of data in paper source documents and in the national electronic system, and an analysis of all 99 281 cases reported in 2012.
While the new electronic system overall is robust, this assessment demonstrated limitations in the concordance and completeness of data reaching the national level.
Additional oversight and training in data entry are needed to strengthen TB surveillance data quality in Kenya.
肯尼亚最近从纸质系统过渡到电子系统来记录和报告结核病(TB)数据。
在2013年9月至10月期间,通过审核纸质源文件和国家电子系统中的数据,以及分析2012年报告的所有99281例病例,对新系统的数据质量进行了评估。
虽然新的电子系统总体上很强大,但这项评估表明,在数据的一致性和完整性方面,在数据到达国家层面时存在局限性。
需要在数据录入方面加强监督和培训,以提高肯尼亚结核病监测数据的质量。
