  • The Iterative Dashboard feature enables users to select between HVL or EID reports, view sample statuses, and results, and analyze turnaround time trends with customizable date ranges. 
  • Reports now offer greater flexibility in generating HVL and EID summaries for various time intervals, with added Sample Tracking capabilities for detailed monitoring.
  • Orientation sessions have been conducted for staff from NIMR PCR Lab and Bukoba RRH, with positive feedback emphasizing the usefulness of the Sample Tracking Report in identifying and addressing sample issues.
  • These updates signify significant progress in enhancing the functionality and usability of the Lab Visual Application, thereby improving data management and decision-making processes in laboratory settings.

DREAMS Auxiliary Monitoring and Evaluation Update
Managing and reporting data for the DREAMS project in Tanzania, overseen by DATIM (PEPFAR's health information platform), has been complex and intricate due to different tools used by different partners. UCSF and GP Tanzania addressed this complexity by introducing a centralized data management system that cleans, harmonizes, and merges data from various partners into a unified source. The system features a user-friendly dashboard extracting key indicators, simplifying project tracking, and generating DATIM reports effortlessly.

The focus of UCSF and Global Programs on training and technical support for partners ensures accurate data input, complemented by regular audits to maintain data integrity. These improvements have significantly streamlined the reporting process, providing more reliable insights for program monitoring and evaluation, ultimately enhancing the DREAMS project's efficiency and quality of data outcomes.
