Key Characteristics and Perception of Different Outbreak Surveillance Systems in Côte d’Ivoire: Cross-Sectional Survey Among Users

Key Characteristics and Perception of Different Outbreak Surveillance Systems in Côte d’Ivoire: Cross-Sectional Survey Among Users

MAGPI was found to be the most widely used surveillance tool among respondents (n=127, 79.9%), followed by DHIS2 (n=108, 67.9%), and SORMAS (n=25, 15.7%; Table 3). The lower user adoption of SORMAS is not surprising because unlike MAGPI and DHIS2 that have been established as national-scale tools in 2013, SORMAS was introduced through a pilot in 2021 in 2 regions (urban areas of Abidjan and 2 sites in rural Gbêkê).

Experiences, Lessons, and Challenges With Adapting REDCap for COVID-19 Laboratory Data Management in a Resource-Limited Country: Descriptive Study

Similar to REDCap, the DHIS2 platform has a mobile application (DHIS Tracker), enabling its use in case of weak and fluctuating Internet connectivity. The DHIS2 Tracker allows for auto-syncing of data with the central server once stable Internet connectivity returns. The data elements shared between DHIS2 and REDCap include COVID-19 test results and demographic information of those who were tested including their names, gender, ages, locations, and related underlying medical conditions.

The decision to consider DHIS2 was based on its documented benefits [13-15]. In spite of the availability of the DHIS2 platform for case-based surveillance of malaria, paper-based case notification forms continue to be utilized.
