Integrated Health Information Platform

Problem Statement

Karnataka State is reporting disease surveillance data in aggregate mode under IDSP using existing IDSP Software Application (www.idsp.nic.in). There was no provision to report case based data in near real time modeand also additional disease conditions like KFD, Scrub Typhus etc. were not being captured. Further the existing application was not having advanced dynamic features.

Programme Description

Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP) is the tool designed & developed with the support from WHO in order to have holistic picture of data reported under different National Health Programmes under “One-Health Approach”. It is Web enabled electronic health information system for geospatial epidemiology. It is embedded with all applicable IT, Data & Surveillance standards for near real time reporting of village level, case based disease surveillance data.Thisplatformis also incorporated with advanced features like Mobile Application, GIS Utility, Dynamic reports, Disease dashboard, Text SMS & Email alerts, etc.

Programme Outcomes

IDSP Module of IHIP Platform has been launched in all 30 Districts in Karnataka on 26th November 2019 and presently all 30 Districts are reporting disease surveillance data including Syndromic data by ANMs using IHIP Mobile Application after successfully undergoing trainings. In last one year, as per the data captured in IHIP 2,29,898 Syndromic cases, 23,68,479 Presumptive cases are reported and further 11,68,055 samples tested out of which 49,045 samples found Positive. Lab confirmed all positive case are reflected on GIS based map to identify individual geo-locations of cases for monitoring & response under IDSP. More than 2 lac Syndromic cases have been captured by ANM using Mobile Application.

Scalability

It is scalable to entire Country and roll out phase is going on.

Implementation Partners (If any)

WHO Country Office, India is supporting trainings of IHIP by deploying technical resource persons.

Financial implications

No financial support has been provided for the implementation of IHIP in the State for the year 2018. A total of 37,14,620/- rupeeshave been utilized from the NHM training line-item A.9 (SIHFW) after the approval from MD-NHM, for the cascade training and implementation of the IHIP in the State.
