Three months into the project, the PANASIA coordination team paid us a visit. This is where we explain why we shifted from doing purely technical project involving the use of Short Messaging System to a full blown health information system project that integrated vertical programs in public health. The change in specifications enabled us to make the lives of health workers working in community health centers more bearable by making reporting of health data more efficient and making health information useful at the community level.


During immunization day, health workers are able to keep track of patients who are scheduled to come for immunization. Compliance rates are computed automatically for each patient so that health center staff are alerted to make extra effort to remind patients who have poor compliance with keeping immunization schedules.


Immunization tracking for mother and child are integrated. When the child comes for immunization, health center staff can pull up the immunization records of the mother as well. In this photo, Dr. Peachy Cruz, the health center physician, is seen with a young mother who brought her child for immunization.


Health center staff encourage and teach each other how to work with the system.

Dr. Portia Marcelo stresses an important point during the training of the community health workers.


Data management at the community level requires teamwork. The health workers need to realize that the data management activities they do at the health center and community level is not detached from the big picture but in fact creates it.


In this photo, Dr. Herman Tolentino, Dr. Alvin Marcelo and Prof. Ariel Betan award certificates to the first batch of indigenous health workers who complete the data management training for community health workers.
