HIVQUAL in Haiti

HIVQUAL-Haiti History
HIVQUAL-Haiti is led by the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) with assistance and coordination from CDC-Haiti.

Launched in late 2007, HIVQUAL-Haiti completed its baseline data collection in 2008, along with Organizational Assessments at all 19 pilot sites.

The data collection process for HIVQUAL-Haiti has been enhanced and facilitated by an EMR system used in MSPP-supported clinics throughout Haiti. The system has been customized to incorporate the HIVQUAL-Haiti indicators, and allow for the automatic generation of HIVQUAL reports. The EMR was developed by ITECH, a PEPFAR partner, in collaboration with CDC-Haiti.
