At most health facilities, data collections tools (forms) are not readily available where and when they are needed. Storage of data is unsatisfactory resulting in a situation where data and information retrieval is very difficult. The data that is available is not analyzed or used to inform decision making by health managers. In addition the high turnover of staff in hospitals, health centers and dispensaries requires continuous training and support of new health workers.
OVERALL RESPONSIBILITIES
The Data Manager will work closely with provincial and district Ministry of Health (MOH) Records Clerks providing training and necessary support for data collection, analysis, dissemination, and use at all levels of health service delivery. He/she will assist facility based health workers and community-based groups to develop and maintain a system that facilitates use of data and information for their day-to-day functions and to track their own progress, compare their services to others, and better understand the value and meaning of the data they collect.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Train staff in all health facilities to make them aware of the provisions of the Government of Kenya (GOK) National Health Information System, NASCOP and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) data and information needs and their role in meeting these needs.
Ensure that appropriate data collection tools (e.g. Dispensing Register for Rural Health Facilities and other forms) are available in all departments of hospitals and at health centers and dispensaries.
Develop standard operating procedures and systems for collection, storage, and analysis of data.
Coordinate and provide training for data collection and analysis for Health Workers and Records Officers.
Monitor the quality of data that is being entered into the data collection tools (forms and registers).
Manage collection, compilation, analysis, and presentation of service data from participating health facilities and community groups.
Conduct regular site visits to health facilities and provide support to data collection and management activities.
Assist the Provincial Health Management Team (PHMT) and Project Director in preparing quarterly and annual work plans and reports to MOH and the United Stated Agency of International Development (USAID).
Perform other duties as required.
QUALIFICATIONS
A degree in Statistics/Health Statistics required. Masters degree in Biostatistics preferable.
At least two years experience in monitoring and evaluation of public health programs.
Knowledge of HIV/AIDS monitoring and familiarity with the PEPFAR indicators.
Computer skills in word processing, spread sheets, and database management packages.
