The HIV Equity Initiative (HEI) Clinic has enrolled almost 300 patients since 2007. With each visit, a plethora of information is collected, including weight, WHO Clinical Status, medication information, adherence, and more. Currently, the clinic used paper charts, and this has been working remarkably well given the infrastructure limitations. However, Tiyatien Health is moving towards an electronic database that will collect this information so that statistical information and data can be at our fingertips.
While Gia and I have been here in Zwedru, our colleague, Dr. David Kraemer at Kansas Wesleyan University has been working countless hours to make and refine a database for our HEI Clinic. With this database, each clinic visit will be recorded, accurate (no more messy handwriting!), and stored on a computer for easy access and retrieval. The database will also make it easy to provide summary statistics to our partners, including the Ministry of Health and the Liberian National AIDS Control Program, as well as help identify gaps and strengths in our program. It will allow us to perform research for dissemination and show the international community the success a local NGO like Tiyatien Health can do in a short time.
Gia, Dr. Kraemer and I have been in close contact during the last few weeks, spending hours on Skype and exchanging many emails, about making this database user-friendly, applicable to our clinic, and sustainable. We hope to recruit research assistants this summer to help us implement the database so that our Liberian Team has this powerful tool to help further our ability to care for our patients in the best way possible. Tiyatien is growing leaps and bounds, and we are excited to be a part of this very important process.
