Improving Perioperative Mortality Rate Data Capture in Hawassa, Ethiopia: A Mixed‐Methods Study
Explanations behind the discrepancies in POMR between data sources in this study include inconsistencies in data entry, lack of consolidation of postoperative deaths from different service points (wards, ICU), and reports generated without a mechanism to include updated registry or discharge counts. These findings, along with the diverse perspectives from our interviews, point toward the need for a well-trained workforce and the development of a digital record system to improve POMR data capture.
