dc.description.abstract | The aim of this implementation research project was to address the following objectives: To develop a mobile web software application that will lead to the integration of databases from two information systems namely the IQ-Care and AFYA-IT at MSCH; To create seamless flow of information and reporting between different existing Information System within MSCH and other health facilities in Kenya and the world; To count the number of Health Management team members who have been trained on the integrated systems and ensure consistent increase in the number yearly; To do an assessment of the people who have been trained on the system to gauge their level of understanding and confidence.
SCRUM, an agile methodology was adopted as the software methodology for development of the application.
After implementation of this project it is expected that there will be improvement in operational efficiency and standardization of data collection/reporting within different existing IS’s. This will aid in dispensing timely and up to date information for decision making.
A comprehensive investigation on integration of systems locally and around the world was performed. Data collection instruments such as interviews and observations were performed to collect information. This included both qualitative and quantitative methods of data analysis. Results of data analysis aided in informing system requirements and design of the software application. System testing was performed to ensure usability, reliability, completeness and correctness of the developed application.
The project budget summed up to USD 3,500 and was undertaken over a period of 7 months | en_US |
