The University of Ghana's Department of Community Health contributed training facilities, data entry support, and storage of materials.
In addition, PEPFAR implementers pay for, or second, data entry clerks in health facilities they support.
AK was also responsible for getting data collected from different public and private facilities, data entry, and drafting the manuscript.
Shifting IDSP data entry progressively from DSUs to facility level is therefore pragmatic for several reasons.
SIMBioMS provides an interface for data entry via web forms, upload facilities of pre-formatted datasets from files, data export facilities (including configurable export definable by XML templates) as well as advanced data access and user rights management.
A young woman takes a data entry job at a mysterious, windowless facility and starts to get suspicious of her employer after her husband temporarily disappears.

The WHO Coordinating Unit and the centres will decide whether online data entry will take place at the facility or at a more central level depending on the resources available in each centre.
It should be noted that two cadres health extension workers and health information statisticians and data entry clerks were introduced in government health facilities between 2003/04 and 2009 as part of the government's human resources for health strategy.
An alternative approach highlighted by ARV program staff for capturing data at the facility level was to have data entry clerks instead of clinical staff assisting with data capture.
