Routine data systems related to case management
Mac Otten
Surveillance, Monitoring, and Evaluation
Global Malaria Programme, WHO
Content
• Recommended routine data package for high-burden African countries– Core indicators and data elements– Core analysis– Use of data for decision making
• Impact monitoring
• Gaps in routine data systems
• Proposed remedies
Two types of routine data
• Logistics distribution data (logisticians)– National– Sub-national stores– District distribution to health facilities
• Health facility– Logistics– Disease surveillance
Indicator philosophy
• Simple
• Fit into integrated HMIS
• Full stock data at health facility is too much (stock-outs y/n)
• Operational manual being printed
Routine disease surveillance
• Indicators– Impact
• Confirmed malaria cases
• Test positivity rate• In-patient malaria cases• In-patient malaria
deaths
– Quality• % tested (diagnostic)
• Data elements– Out-patient
• Suspected• Tested• Confirmed
– In-patient• Cases• Deaths
Out-patient data collection form
• Epidemiologic data– Suspected– Tested– Confirmed
• Lab data– Tested– Positive
Routine logistics and reporting indicators
• Logistics– Number treated with ACT– % ANC1 received LLIN– % IPT2
• Stock-outs (yes/no)– ACT, RDT, LLIN
• Completeness of reporting– Health facility, district
Case management
• ACT– Number treated– Stock-out (yes/no)
• RDT– % tested (number tested)– Stock-out (yes/no)
Community data elements
• No. workers expected to report• No. workers reported this month• Suspected malaria cases seen • Suspected cases tested for malaria• Confirmed malaria cases• Cases referred• No. workers with stock-out of ACT• No. workers with stock-out of RDT

In-patient predictive value is good,Evidence from national data
• Matches with out-patient lab-confirmed malaria cases
• ~90% decline in Zanzibar and Sao Tome and Principe
• Pronounced seasonality
• In-patient malaria trends nearly identical to very severe anemia trends
Limited impact/wasted resources in many countries
• Severe cases and deaths should be rapidly reducing
• Reasons– Stock-outs at national level
• Global supply chain issues
– Stock-outs at health facility• Weak routine data
• Weak supervision
• Inadequate analysis for action

Routine data systems are not difficult to establishMonthly confirmed cases from all countries in Africa as of 31 May
Remedies
• National-level stock-outs– Monitor each month
• Logistics distribution dataMore TA– Logisticians– Data systems– Analysis
• Health facilityMore routine M&E TA– Data systems– Analysis– Supervision: data and case management– Performance assessments at regular meetings– Monthly bulletin with data by district
Summary
• Routine data important to minimize stock-outs at health facility level and avoid wasted resources
• Routine surveillance can monitor impact and contribute to monitoring drug resistance and fake drugs
• Routine data systems are not difficult to establish– Operational manual ready– Funds available at country level (GF M&E)– Major gap: technical assistance and electronic tools
