Child immunization data quality in Rwanda: an assessment of routine health information system data
Data quality in the paper based HMIS was variable across districts and health facilities. Improvements in quality of e-Tracker data over time demonstrate increased uptake of e-Tracker use by health workers, possibly explained by the removal of paper documentation and reporting. Further improvements in data quality can be achieved by purposefully designed implementation strategies to support health workers with digital data entry.
