DISCLOSURE STATEMENT Nothing to disclose

Overview Need for monitoring and evaluation: ROP MIS Data collection issues for ROP programmes Strengths and limitations of current approaches, and the potential for integration in health How existing data can help decision making Results based reports for stakeholders

Need for monitoring and evaluation: ROP MIS ROP blindness prevention in Latin America: ROP is the main cause of childhood blindness* ROP is an indicator of quality of neonatal care Magnitude: at least 42,000 babies BW < 1,500 to examine/year Over 4,000 treatments/year Multidisciplinary approach: nurses, neonatologists, ophthalmologists Multilevel prevention approach: primary, secondary and tertiary * Gilbert C. Retinopathy of prematurity: a global perspective of the epidemics, population of babies at risk and implications for control. Early Hum Dev. 2008;84(2):77– 82

Need for monitoring and evaluation: ROP MIS ROP blindness prevention in Latin America: Several countries in the region now have policies and/or regulations, leading to financing structures for examination or for laser treatment: ROP programme implementation Quality control is needed at different levels: neonatal care, eye care, programme Challenge: lack of MIS for quality control coverage, detection, population needing treatment, treatment rates and results NICU, district, country/regional level

Data collection issues for ROP programmes Lack of standard data collection forms in several ROP programmes Decision: data to be collected (accurate, precise, valid, timeliness, unbiased, relevant) Indicators: clinical outcomes, programme outcomes GIGO: garbage in = garbage out Lack of dedicated trained personnel for data management: nurse, nurse technician? Data entry Quality control Data security Data storage Data management: cleaning, descriptive analysis, associations Neonatal outcome data: networking with nurses and neonatologists (some countries - neonatal networks)

Strengths and limitations of current approaches, and the potential for integration in health Web based ROP Network (PAAO/PAHO/cbm SiB): Standardised data collection forms

Strengths and limitations of current approaches, and the potential for integration in health

Web based ROP Network (PAAO/PAHO/cbm SiB): Diary system: avoid missing exams Reports readily available, customized according to needs Different levels of access: quality and security Integration with Brazilian Neonatal Network Neonatal outcome indicators Monitoring and evaluation
