This presentation by Natsuki Hara from the Health Information Unit discusses the development of the Dominica Integrated Information System for Health (DIISH). DIISH aims to improve health data quality and facilitate timely analysis and reporting. It involves implementing tools like OpenMRS, a patient record system, and SComDis, a communicable disease surveillance system. SComDis allows users to enter data, generate reports for agencies like CARPHA, and analyze trends, maps and more to help inform health interventions. The goal is to make health information more accessible, standardized and support evidence-based decision making.

10. Health Information Unit (HIU)
HIU uses the data captured within the Ministry
of Health to make reports for regional and
global agencies (PAHO, WHO, CARPHA, etc.) that
illustrates the health of the population.
It also analyses this data for epidemiological
interventions.

11. Problems it the Current Systems
•
•
•
•
•
Data is difficult to access
Reports are difficult to generate
Information is not timely
Analysis result is difficult to disseminate
Lack of communication

12. Dominica Integrated Information System for Health
DIISH

13. DIISH Goal
• To improve the quality of data
• To disseminate to the appropriate departments
for analysis and reporting
This will facilitate health care providers and
administrators to make:
• Timely interventions
• Standardize procedures
• Dissemination of information
