Drug Supply Dashboard - Using Executive Dashboards in AIDS Treatment & Research in Rwanda

The Republic of Rwanda is a small east-central African nation with around 8 million people. Unfortunately, it is best known for its problems such as the genocide of a million Tutsis by militant Hutu groups.  Today, AIDS is a major problem. It is being addressed via a rapidly expanding anti retroviral care and treatment program. 10,000 Rwandan adults are receiving treatment, and the government plans to expand coverage to as many as 101,000 adults and children by 2007. 

The program is supported by the Ministry of Health and the Treatment Research and AIDS Centre (TRAC) through an IT project named TRACnet.  It is an enterprise dashboard type of solution that collects, stores, and displays program, drug and patient information related to HIV/AIDS care and treatment. The web-based system is accessed in a variety of health care settings. It was deployed nationwide and connects every facility dispensing care (94 of them). The support network is considerable, with telephone operators speaking both French and English. The system allowed the shift from paper-based reporting to dashboard-style access and is credited with incredible increased efficiencies.

This enterprise dashboard system includes data and metrics such as  Program Indicators, Drug inventory information from point of care, Patient registry, Lab results, Group and individual communications, geographic display, charting and role-based Management Dashboards.  The dashboard screenshot shows, among other key indicators, the weekly drug supply status, new patient statistics and a map of facilities offering treatment.
