Every two years, HIV guidelines are reviewed and updated in accordance with recent national and international discoveries.  This course is the HIV Guidelines, 2018 Edition, Clinical Mentors Training. The guidelines for this training include information on the packages of HIV prevention and HIV care and treatment. 

PEPFAR and HIVQUAL consider an HIV quality improvement projects as the main vehicles by which a facility makes incremental process improvements to its various care elements and changes its processes and systems of care^[1]. Quality Improvement (QI) is the means by which activities are routinely evaluated to check whether services offered by the multidisciplinary team are following established guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs). QI should be a routine, ongoing part of the normal functioning of health facilities. Therefore, QI should incorporate procedures in which all staff at all levels — not just supervisors — are involved[2]. A good CQI program offer  a range of benefits including  a) Improved patient health outcomes , b) Improved efficiency of managerial and clinical processes by  reducing  waste and costs associated with system failures and redundancy, C) Avoided costs associated with process failures, errors, and poor outcomes by Streamlining  reliable processes which are less expensive to maintain, D) Proactive processes that recognize and solve problems before they occur ensure that systems of care are reliable and predictable and  E) Improved communication with resources that are internal and external to an organization, such as, funders, civic and community organizations.

This course provides an overview of MCCOD and ICD-10 coding for all physicians and medical professionals involved in the death recording and certification process. Participants will leave with a good understanding of how to complete the critical pieces of information on the WHO International Death Certificate as recommended by International Classification of Disease guidelines.

This course is a platform for learning about RBC’s SOPs for corporate services and for monitoring compliance with requirements for staff to regularly review and understand the SOPs.

This is a foundations course for financial management 

This course will ensure that individuals with supervisory roles within MoH, RBC, and professional councils can put the leadership skills gained from the leadership framework in practice and become "managers who lead."

INTRODUCTION  

This facilitator’s guide has been designed for training of maternal community health workers, in the aim to increase their competence so that they can fulfill their roles and responsibilities of helping the communities by sensitizing them about participating and adopting practices which ensure healthy lives for families. Their contribution is about  maintaining good health for pregnant mothers and accompanying them for delivery at health facility, preventing them from postpartum hemorrhage in case they failed to deliver at health facility by providing Misoprostol. They also follow mothers up to six (6) weeks after delivery (42 days), to make sure mothers and babies stay healthy.   

The following tools will be used during the training of maternal community health workers:  Facilitator’s guide;  Maternal community health worker registers;  Counseling cards, pregnant woman follow up sheets;  Forms used in the follow up of pregnant women;  Other tools that the CHW uses to take care of the mother and newborns.  

The initial training for Maternal Community Health Workers usually takes 6 days including practical part. After completion of training, they immediately go to their communities to start their responsibilities. Maternal Community health workers will receive at least one visit per quarter to receive guidance in her work.  

Refresher training is conducted at least once a year depending on the outcome of supervision/monitoring exercise conducted for Maternal Community Health Workers. The length of the training is determined depending on content to be covered as per the supervision mentioned above.  

The initial training is designed as follows: 

 Unit 1:  Community based care of pregnant woman and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) prevention. The training is designed for four (4) days. 

Unit 2:  Community based care of mothers and newborn. The training is designed for two (2) days. 

OBJECTIVES 
The training is intended to:  

 Enhance the capacity of Maternal Community Health Workers in building relationship and socializing with the family members during visits to mothers before and after delivery;  

 Build the capacity of Maternal Community Health Workers in counseling families on importance of attending antenatal visits at health facilities, preparing to deliver at the health facility, community based antenatal care as well as appropriate mothers and newborn care;  

 Strengthen the capacity of Maternal Community Health Workers in PPH prevention;  

 Enhance the capacity of Maternal Community Health Workers to be able to ensure effective breastfeeding, identify danger signs, weigh newborn and make decision about referring a mother or newborn to the health facility basing on the assesment done upon them;

Mu Rwanda, impfu z’abana zikunze guterwa n’ibi bikurikira: kubura ababitaho iyo bagifatwa, kuba kure y’ibigo nderabuzima, kugera ku bigo nderabuzima batinze kandi barembye, kuvurwa ku buryo budahwitse no guhabwa n’ababyeyi imiti itariyo, kutamenya kw’ababyeyi ibimenyetso mpuruza n’uburyo bw’ibanze bwo kuvura.

Ubuvuzi bw’ibanze bukomatanyije, ni imwe mu ngamba zashyizweho na Minisiteri y'ubuzima zigamije kwita by’umwihariko ku burwayi bwose bw’umwana, hibandwa cyane ku ndwara zibibasira nka malariya, impiswi, umusonga n’imirire mibi hakoreshwa kuvura, gukumira indwara no guteza imbere ubuzima bwiza abaturage bose babigizemo uruhare. Iyi gahunda ikaba kandi yita ku gukurikirana no guteza imbere imikurire y’umwana bityo hakaba ubwuzuzanye hagati y’abajyanama b’ubuzima n’abakozi b’ibigo nderabuzima.

Aya masomo agamije guha abajyanama b’ ubuzima ubumenyi,ubushobizi mu kuvura indwara zifata abana mbere y’uko bagera kukigo nderabuzima ,azibanda muguha ubumenyi abajyanama b’ubuzima mu Kuvura indwara zifata abana bari munsi y’imyaka itanu(malaria,umusonga,impiswi).

Amahugurwa yabo azagendana no kubakurikirana ku buryo buhoraho kugira ngo babashe gutanga serivisi z’ubuzima zinoze mu midugudu batuyemo. Akaba ari yo mpamvu aya masomo yateguwe.

This course focuses on data collection tools and methods used by RHMIS whether for case based and aggregate data collection and reporting. It will introduce to learner the data collection tools(forms, registers, patient file and, etc)  and also to the methods used to report health data national wide.

This Introduction to Data Quality course will ensure that district hospital data managers understand the importance of data quality in decision making, understand the key quality problems associated with the common sources of data used for assessment of progress and performance of the health sector, and create plans to rectify data quality issues.

The focus of this course includes the study of health data entry, retrieval, analysis and presentation by the Health professional. Learners will critically examine different steps in data entry, retrieve and data analysis. Data presentation, quality assurance will be explored as the Health Management Information System professional contributes to, and aids in the facilitation of the decision-making process.

This course has been designed to enable participants to create different types of maps using the DHIS-2 GIS module, and to move data from the DHIS-2 into QGIS in order to produce basic choropleth maps.
