About this Toolkit

This toolkit presents the tools, templates, and steps in conducting data quality check in support of the tuberculosis (TB) control program. The tools and templates in this toolkit were developed based on the collective experiences of local government partners of the IMPACT Project.

For whom is this toolkit?

This toolkit is intended primarily for NTP staff at the Department of Health (DOH) regional offices who are assigned to provide technical assistance (TA) to provinces and highly urbanized cities (HUCs), and also for the DOH Development Management Officers (DMOs) and Provincial/City Health Office NTP team members involved in data quality check (DQC).

What does this toolkit contain?

This toolkit consists of two parts.

Part 1 provides the background information and rationale for conducting data quality check in support of the TB control program and explains the step-by-step process for performing such.

Part 2 contains the DQC Workshop Activity Design; the WHO Routine Data Quality Assessment (RDQA) procedures; the recommended automated system checks in ITIS; the forms used for the DQC workshop; and the abstract and technical report on the Pilot Run of the WHO RDQA Methodology provided in the annex.
