Concordance of data on key malaria indicators between DHIS2 and source documents, and influencing factors at public primary health facilities in eastern Uganda: a mixed methods study
Data concordance between DHIS2 and source documents was below the World Health Organisation (WHO) performance standard of ≥ 80% on key malaria indicators. Presence of data clerks, and timely reporting were identified as the factors that improved data concordance. To improve the quality and timeliness of the DHIS2, having trained data staff at public health facilities is key. Alternatively, electronic primary data capture may help in reducing errors that arise during data capturing and aggregation.
