Health management information systems implemented in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) have provided availability of HIV-data. As such, dashboards have become increasingly popular as they provide a potentially powerful avenue for deriving insights at glance. This promotes use of data for decision-making by various stakeholders such as Ministries of Health as well as international donor organizations. Nonetheless, despite the use of dashboards in LMICs, their potential may go unrealized with underutilization of good design principles. In various LMICs, health facilities are required to submit HIV-indicator data on time for its use in decision-making. Hence, dashboards can be utilized in assessing facility reporting performance overtime in order to identify where interventions are needed. In this study, we applied good design principles in developing a dashboard, which presents the performance of facilities in reporting HIV-indicator data overtime (2011-2018). Timeliness and completeness in reporting were used as performance indicators and were extracted from the District Health Information Software Version 2 (DHIS2) in Kenya. Results for the system usability scale used in evaluating the dashboard was 87, which meant the dashboard usability was good.
在中低收入国家（LMICs）实施的健康管理信息系统提供了 HIV 数据的可用性。因此，数据看板越来越受欢迎，因为它们提供了一种潜在的强大途径，可以一目了然地获得洞察力。这促进了各利益相关者（如卫生部和国际捐助组织）利用数据做出决策。尽管在 LMICs 中使用了数据看板，但由于未能充分利用良好的设计原则，其潜力可能无法实现。在各种 LMICs 中，卫生机构都被要求按时提交 HIV 指标数据，以便将其用于决策。因此，可以利用数据看板来评估设施报告的绩效随时间的变化情况，以确定需要干预的地方。在这项研究中，我们应用了良好的设计原则来开发一个数据看板，该看板展示了设施在报告 HIV 指标数据方面的绩效随时间的变化情况（2011-2018 年）。报告的及时性和完整性被用作绩效指标，并从肯尼亚的 District Health Information Software Version 2（DHIS2）中提取。用于评估数据看板的系统可用性量表的结果为 87，这意味着数据看板的可用性良好。
