Abstract
Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a public health problem despite all the efforts made to eradicate it. To strengthen the surveillance system for this condition, it is necessary to have a good data management system. Indeed, the use of electronic information systems in data management can improve the quality of data. The objective of this project was to set up a laboratory-specific electronic information system for mycobacteria and atypical tuberculosis.
Methods: The design of this laboratory information system required a general understanding of the workflow and the implementation processes in order to generate a realistic model. For the implementation of the system, Java technology was used to develop a web application compatible with the intranet of the company. The impact and the acceptability of the use of the system on the running of the laboratory were evaluated using the Likert scale.
Results: The system in place has been in operation for about 12 months, in conjunction with the paper registers. Since then, 4811 requests for examinations concerning 6083 samples have been registered. The results of analysis of 3892 patients were printed from the laboratory information system. In order to produce tuberculosis drug resistance reports and laboratory performance reports, dashboards have been developed.
Conclusion: The system has been adopted by the staff because of the time and efficiency gained in managing laboratory data. However, obtaining an optimized tool will only be done in a cycle of sustained improvement.
Keywords: clinical laboratory information systems, public health, tuberculosis
Introduction
Tuberculosis remains a public health problem despite all efforts to eradicate it. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of tuberculosis cases in the world was estimated 9.6 million in 2014.[1] To strengthen the surveillance system for this disease, we need to have a good data management system.
The use of electronic information systems can improve the quality of clinical data[2] and thus the management of patients. Studies have shown that the implementation of computer tools is a performance factor for laboratory activities.[3] The results of laboratory analyses provide important data for clinical decision-making and treatment. Effective management of this data is essential for strengthening the health care system as a whole.
Laboratory information systems have been developed and used for about half a century.[3][4] Like all laboratory information systems, the microbiology laboratory information system must be secure, user-friendly, and able to interact with other information systems. However, there are several unique features of microbiology that are not used in other clinical laboratories, i.e., tracking multiple drifts, laboratory electronic notes, reporting results, and taking the preliminary and final results into account.[3]
The strategic plan of development of e-health has been defined and is being implemented.[5] All health facilities have to implement an electronic information system for better management of data generated by their activities.
The purpose of this project was to set up a laboratory information system (LIS) at Institute Pasteur of Côte d’Ivoire to collect specific data for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This LIS will allow the recording of the data resulting from the activities of the laboratory. It should also allow for the generation of results that are ultimately given to the patient as well as the generation of reports on the activities of the laboratory. Finally, an analysis of the impact of this new system in the laboratory routine was carried out.
