Abstract

Introduction: the Growing Expertise in E-health Knowledge and Skills (GEEKS) program is an applied apprenticeship program that aims to improve informatics capacity at various levels of the national health system and create a sustainable informatics workforce. Nigeria adapted the GEEKS model in 2019 as a mechanism to strengthen data quality and use of routine immunization (RI) and vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) surveillance data among EPI staff. Since the start of the GEEKS-EPI program, there has not been a formal assessment conducted to measure the extent to which GEEKS-EPI has been able to build local informatics workforce capacity and strengthen RI and VPD surveillance (VPDS) data quality and use in Nigeria.

2019 - 2021年尼日利亚早期实施电子卫生知识和技能(极客)项目的经验教训

简介:电子卫生知识和技能增长专业知识(极客)计划是一项应用学徒计划，旨在提高国家卫生系统各级的信息学能力，并创造一支可持续的信息学劳动力队伍。尼日利亚于2019年调整了极客模型，作为加强数据质量和在扩大免疫方案工作人员中使用常规免疫(RI)和疫苗可预防疾病(VPD)监测数据的机制。自GEEKS-EPI项目启动以来，还没有进行过正式评估，以衡量GEEKS-EPI在尼日利亚建立当地信息学劳动力能力和加强RI和VPDS监测(VPDS)数据质量和使用的程度。
