A Trial of an Integrated E-diagnosis Assessment to Improve the Management of Childhood Illnesses in Burkina Faso

"IeDA is a package of several interventions with the objective of improving the quality of child health care in health centres to ultimately decrease child morbidity and mortality. The components of IedA are described as follows:~* REC: the IMCI protocol translated into a computer-based tool that aims to guide nurses during consultations.~* The training of nurses on IMCI and REC.~* A quality assurance mechanism through which each district and health centre is encouraged to find appropriate solutions in response to their local needs.~* A supervision system conducted implemented by district managers to provide support and guidance to health centres.~* A health information system based on data collected through the REC and fed back to the district managers and Heads of health centres."
