Abstract

An electronic dashboard for oxygen monitoring and stockout prevention was implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022 by Jhpiego through the United States Agency for International Development Reaching Impact, Saturation, and Epidemic Control program and Government of Lesotho across 12 hospitals in Lesotho. Nurses documented patient blood oxygen levels, oxygen usage, and facility-level stocks on a daily checklist, which populated a dashboard that estimated oxygen demand usage and visualized facility-level oxygen stocks and impending stockouts. During 359 facility days evaluated, dashboard data reported 82/1,796 patients (4.6%) as hypoxemic, 186,802 L/day average oxygen usage, and successful prevention of all 14 potential stockouts.
