BACKGROUND: Health care technologies are now offering accountability, quality, robustness, and accuracy in disease surveillance and health care delivery programmes. With the advent of mobile hand-held devices, these technologies have become more accessible and adaptable for use by field staff working in remote areas. The Malaria Elimination Demonstration Project started collection of data and conduct of routine operations using paper-based reporting systems. Observing the need for a robust and quality digital mobile application, a comprehensive mobile application tool was developed that allowed the project to conduct disease surveillance, workforce management and supply chain management. METHODS: In June 2017, the project conceptualized a comprehensive mobile application tool in the local language (Hindi) for disease surveillance, human resources management, and supply chain management. The tool is also available in English. Solution for Community Health-workers (SOCH) mobile app is an android native application developed using android SDK and web-based tool using MVC.net framework. Construction of the application started in November 2017 and rolled out its pilot in April 2018, followed by pan-district roll out in July 2018. The application uses self-validation tools to ensure high level of data quality and integrity. RESULTS: The software is available in android based hand-held devices and web-screens with built-in data analytical capabilities. Using SOCH, the project has now successfully digitized its routine surveillance, attendance, tour plans, supply chain management components. The project has documented a reduction in 91% indigenous cases in the district, 60% improvement in stock accountability, and 99.6% accuracy in data collected through the mobile application. CONCLUSION: SOCH is an excellent and user-friendly tool, which can be customized for any public health management programme. The system ensures accountability and data robustness, which is needed for malaria elimination efforts throughout the country. The mobile application can be adapted for English or any other Indian or international language for use for malaria or any other disease surveillance and control programme. Another expansion feature of this mobile application is incorporation of indicators for Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), and minor engineering by the residents of community under surveillance. The authors believe that it would be highly desirable and appropriate for an international organization, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), to conduct an independent comparison of all available mobile e-surveillance tools, so that a high-performing and globally suitable system can be selected for use in malaria elimination programmes. The Foundation of Disease Elimination and Controlof India has decided to make the SOCH mobile application available to anyone who would like to use it for disease surveillance and health care programmes.
背景:医疗技术如今在疾病监测和医疗服务提供计划中提供了问责制、质量、稳健性和准确性。随着移动手持设备的出现,这些技术变得更容易被在偏远地区工作的现场工作人员使用和适应。消除疟疾示范项目开始使用基于纸质的报告系统收集数据和开展常规业务。鉴于需要一个强大而高质量的数字移动应用程序,我们开发了一个全面的移动应用程序工具,使项目能够进行疾病监测、劳动力管理和供应链管理。
方法:2017 年 6 月,该项目用当地语言(印地语)为疾病监测、人力资源管理和供应链管理概念化了一个全面的移动应用程序工具。该工具也有英文版本。解决方案社区卫生工作者(SOCH)移动应用程序是一个使用 Android SDK 开发的 Android 原生应用程序,使用基于 Web 的工具使用 MVC.net 框架。该应用程序的构建始于 2017 年 11 月,并于 2018 年 4 月推出了试点,随后于 2018 年 7 月在全区范围内推出。该应用程序使用自我验证工具来确保高水平的数据质量和完整性。
结果:该软件可用于基于 Android 的手持设备和带有内置数据分析功能的网络屏幕。通过使用 SOCH,该项目现在已经成功地将其常规监测、出勤、旅行计划、供应链管理组件数字化。该项目记录了该地区本土病例减少了 91%,库存核算提高了 60%,通过移动应用程序收集的数据准确率达到了 99.6%。
结论:SOCH 是一个优秀且用户友好的工具,可以为任何公共卫生管理项目定制。该系统确保了问责制和数据稳健性,这是全国消除疟疾工作所需要的。该移动应用程序可以适应英语或任何其他印度或国际语言,用于疟疾或任何其他疾病监测和控制计划。这个移动应用程序的另一个扩展功能是纳入由监测社区居民进行的室内滞留喷洒(IRS)、长效杀虫剂处理蚊帐(LLINs)和小型工程的指标。作者认为,世界卫生组织(WHO)等国际组织对所有现有的移动电子监测工具进行独立比较,以选择一个性能高且适合全球使用的系统,用于消除疟疾方案,这将是非常可取和合适的。印度疾病消除与控制基金会已决定将 SOCH 移动应用程序提供给任何希望将其用于疾病监测和医疗保健计划的人。
