1. SARI Information System & Data Dashboard Suriname
Dear all, as a nation we are honered to participate in this networking meeting and to share with you our advancements due the PIP funding
SARI Information System & Data Dashboard Suriname
Dr. Jubithana (MOH)
Dr. Mohamed PAHO/SUR

2. Suriname-Country Facts
Population: 541,638 (2012 census)
Surface Area: 163,820 km²
10-districts, 62-resorts
Capital (and coastal area) are the-
most populated – 40% total population
2-rainy, and 2-dry seasons
5-hospitals

3. SARI Sentinel Sites 3-General Hospitals: ILI-recently (re)started
2-hospitals in the capital.
1-district hospital.
ILI-recently (re)started
These are the sentinel sites which do the Sari surveillance , the Acadamic hospital ICU, the slands hospital and the hospital bordering Guyana in the west

4. SARI Case Definition (Suriname)
An acute respiratory infection, with:
history of fever or measured fever of ≥38º
and cough
and onset within the last 10 days
and that requires hospitalization
It all starts with the case definition in the SARI surveillance and we use the PAHO sari case definiton 4

5. ILI Case Definition (Suriname)
An acute respiratory infection with:
measured fever of ≥38º.
and cough.
and onset within the last 10 days. 5

6. Case Report Form SARI The following Must be Completed (minimally):
Demographic info.
Medical history
Hospitalization info.
Symptoms
Laboratory info.
Status of the case
The sentinel site nurses are trained by the IPC nurses to complete the standard case report for for SARI, this is what ours looks like

7. Lab algorithm

8. Online Data Entry (Suriname)
Sentinel Sites
Laboratory
Data from the case reports forms is entered into an online information system which integrates clinical, epidemiologic, demographic and laboratory data online linked to a case online

9. Weekly Report Generated Weekly
Reporting Template (Excel sheet)-Updated weekly.
Automatically generated.
Outputs generated.
De weekly report is produced at sentinel site level and compiled by the national epidemiologist, in the future the online system will automatically produce these reports for now we use the excel reports out of the online system and copy paste them to an excel fluID tool which PAHO HQ made

10. Sentinel Site Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitoring System Dashboard -monitoring of reporting:
Assess the different steps associated with the surveillance process
Assess the time taken to complete each task.
Visualizes results
Quality of data and percentage of errors in data entry

11. Percentage Of SARI/ILI Cases Sampled
We are also trying to use a data data dashboards in which we can check our own performance indicators and assist the sentinel sites in a more specific manner , We see here the first performance indicator the percentage of sari cases sampled

12. Percentage Of Positive Samples
A important second performance indicator is the number of positive samples

13. When was the SARI/ILI-case Captured captured?
A third important quality of surveillance indicator is the time interval between hospitalization and detection of a SARI case , the gold standard is lined out and so we see that we have work to do

14. When was the SARI/ILI case registered?
Now that we have the online system its also important to note when the SARI case was registered online, see the gold standard and the results

15. When was the SARI/ILI case sampled?
An important performance indicator is the time interval between hospitalization and sampling of material

16. Time lag: sample receipt- completion by lab
Also the lab performance can be evaluated with the use of the gold standard

17. Case Conclusion and Closing
Using the data dashboard we also can find out if the nurses are keeping the administration of the SARI cases op to date

18. Challenges Timeliness of data entry, Sampling. Data quality.
Feedback to sentinel sites, and sentinel providers.
Use of the data for policy changes: information to risk groups/ HCW
Sustainability

19. Future plans / next steps
Improve data quality and monitoring
Improve feedback to data providers
Mapping
Use of the data:
In depth studies: cost effectiveness, burden of disease
Info to the relevant groups

20. Thank you!
