JSI Case Study Report: Using EpiSurveyor for Malaria
Courtesy of our friends at John Snow, Inc: a terrific case report about using EpiSurveyor for the President's Malaria Initiative in Zambia. Favorite quotes:
"The use of the mobile phones in data collection should be encouraged in future. This will make data gathering, analysis and result generation quicker and done in near real time."
EpiSurveyor for USAID and President's Malaria Initiative (PMI)
In the past few weeks, EpiSurveyor Mobile was used in Ghana in a recurring USAID and PMI (President's Malaria Initiative) activity to calculate critical indicators that are commonly used in PMI decisions. Ghana is one of the 18 countries that conducts this quarterly activity. The pilot team, led by John Snow Inc., tested EpiSurveyor Mobile against the pen-and-paper method at various health facilities in Western Ghana.
