• ENRS as a new system im plem ents param eters of quality to ensure • A ccuracy (Proper item in the proper cell), • Com pleteness (A zero blank cells), • Consistency (Matching of different columns)& • T im eliness (availability of data in the assigned tim e). • A ll these are done through electronic sheets w hich m ake it easy to fulfill all these param eters.

A genda: Setting the three days training agenda Im plem entation of Q uality training
Started at A ugust 2006 for provincial level Five groups and 73 trainees. 3 days of training on: •D ata cleaning •Q uality tables •D ata com piling •D ata analysis and quarterly reporting Channels of Com m unications
•A t B M U level: D ata is send on a CIC (floppy disk, flash stick, CD ..etc) to the D istrict Inform ation Centre/D IC. Shared folder •From D IC the data enter the governorate shared folder in the governorate inform ation centre/G IC. GIC GIC
•A t G CT level, the data is accessible through the shared folder at G IC. Shared folder •T he Central Inform ation Centre/CIC in the M inistry prepared an open DIC DIC DIC DIC channel directly to the Central NT P office. BMUs •A ll com m unication channels are secured and protected by a passw ord. M onitoring and Evaluation
M & E is done through supervisory visits to the chest units and D istrict IT centers in all governorates to evaluate the field w ork and solve any technical obstacles.
T he supervisory team is form ed from : •O ne of the T ask Force T eam •O ne from the Central IT center in M O H P •T he G CT and the m anager of the IT directorate center.

Com pleteness- Q uality ENRS-Lessons Learned
• Im prove accuracy, com pleteness consistency and tim eliness of reporting and indicators calculation in NT P at all levels. (high quality) • Save tim e for analysis, and facilitate feedback. • Facilitate supervision and increase it‘s efficiency • Facilitate locating the patients as per their residency not only their place of diagnosis, w hich w ill give m ore accurate inform ation about disease distribution, and access to services using G IS. ENRS-Next Step
• Produce com prehensive NT P database to be used in: V G IS for planning of treatm ent supporters (D O T ) netw ork. V O perational research V Evidence based planning and budgeting.
• Pilot the com piled package at the central to be expanded to the provincial level. T hank Y ou
