Adherence to integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) guidelines by community health workers in Kano State, Nigeria through use of a clinical decision support (CDS) platform
These results demonstrate that utilization of a digital clinical decision support tool such as THINKMD's IMCI based CDS platform can significantly increase CHW adherence to IMCI guidelines over paper-based utilization, increase clinical quality and capacity, and improve identification of key danger signs for under-five children while being highly accepted and adopted.
