Introduction: Electronic reporting was officially implemented
in Azerbaijan in 2010 through electronic integrated disease
surveillance system (EIDSS), which allows storage and tracking
of surveillance data for 67 notifiable diseases. The aim of this
work was to explain the importance of maintaining a high level of
electronic reporting in the country.
Methods: Achi-square trend testwasconductedbyusingofEpi-Info
software to assess significant changes in data quality indicators
for brucellosis: timeliness of data entry and completeness of
laboratory and epidemiological data over the period 2010-2017.
Results: A total of 2824 cases of human brucellosis were reported
to the EIDSS during the study period. Timeliness of data entry
into EIDSS significantly increased from 25.7% (2010) up to 92.6%
(2017) (p<0.001). The proportion of completed fields for sample
collection data increased from88.3% in 2010 to 98.2% in 2017. The
laboratory data entry into EIDSS was not completed in 2010, and
completeness of laboratory data (conducting of test, test name,
test result) has increased since 2013 (84.5%, 84.5% and 82.2%
respectively) and have significantly improved by years reaching
a maximum value for all indicators – 95.9% in 2017 in average
(p<0.001). Possible measures for increasing of data quality
might be entering of information directly by medical institutions;
conducting of remote online trainings on user’s workplaces;
simplification of laboratory module’s interface and continued
implementation of data quality indicators, developed by Ministry of
Health and ongoing monitoring by EIDSS working group.
Conclusion: Timeliness of data entry, completeness of laboratory
and epidemiological data for brucellosis has significantly improved
over the years after introducing of EIDSS. Ongoing evaluation of
EIDSS data quality indicators for all notifiable diseases should be
conducted in order to ensure data quality and timely identification
of data reporting issues.
