IQCare
IQCare is a data capture and reporting system with patient
management tools designed to measure patient outcomes. Having the ability to analyze
data and then use the resulting analysis to provide improved care is the end goal of
IQCare. IQCare has all of the key features needed to collect clean data and to do
patient and facility analysis and reporting.
IQCare offers three modules: Pre-ART and ART
clinical form sets, flexible PMTCT forms and a form builder. Users can
create their own forms and modules for any kind healthcare area and
run custom reports from the data of one or more all areas. This highly
flexible approach works well for facilities of varying sizes and country
locations. The pre-ART and ART clinical forms can be used in a paperless
mode for clinics/hospitals seeking to reduce paper use and increase
staff efficiency.
IQCare can be implemented in a single stand-alone
configuration for smaller sites and in networked configuration with
multiple simultaneous data entrants for higher volume sites. The application
is highly configurable and provides sophisticated ad hoc and pre-defined
reporting capabilities. To date, IQCare has been implemented in over
70 hospitals in Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania.

Data Entry and Usability Features
During the development of IQCare, a lot of thought
was put into creating an application that could be implemented successfully
at sites with few technical resources and yet fill the needs of high
volume sites with thousands of patients. Special attention was paid
to ease of use, data entry validation through inter-form business rules,
field level validation and system alerts.
- Browser-based and easy-to-use
- Facility and patient dashboards for quick overview
- Use of business rules for Data Quality Checks within a form and
across forms
- Required fields
- Enforcement of required fields (for saving)
- Alerts for data required for reporting or clinical tracking
- Field level data validation present on every clinical form
- Date validation
- Boundary validation for numeric data based on user configuration
- Auto population of data where appropriate
- Training manual and browser-based system help
Technology
The key to IQCare is the robust back end database.
In order to provide scalable and simultaneous entry of data and well
as a fully relational database, the .Net platform was selected. All
of the core platform components are freely available or freely downloadable
as part of any standard computer setup running the Windows operating
environment and MSOffice®
- Microsoft ASP.NET
- Ajax, XML
- .NET Remoting Service
- Session caching
- SQL Express 2005 or SQL Server 2007
- JRE5, JavaScripts
- IE 6.0+ IIS
- Technical documentation
