Ensuring timely actions in public health supply chains using mobile phonesaramanuj
Presented at Africa Healthcare Delivery Conference, Abuja, Nigeria, June 26, 2018.
(https://ahdconference.org)
Public health supply chains tend to be limited in human capacity, where the management capacity of health workers at the last-mile delivery points is inadequate. Supervisory bandwidth of district-level health officials is also limited. Accountability can be low and workers are not always motivated to perform. Consequently, problems or risks in the supply chain are not resolved in a timely fashion leading to poor service quality or higher costs.
Our objective is to improve supply chain performance by driving timely actions by health workers at the last mile. We aim to achieve this through a combination of demand-driven monitoring of critical events by supervisors, and motivating health workers using a “social” approach, where supervisors can “like” or “appreciate” good performance.
We empower a supervisor with an application on a mobile phone, which presents critical supply chain events that he/she needs to act up on, whenever downstream actions are delayed beyond a reasonable duration. Examples of such events include unattended stock outs over an acceptable duration, cumulative high/low temperature exposure of fridges, or no data entry within expected times. The supervisor is also shown “good performance” events over a 3 month period, such as “good stock availability”, “no temperature excursions in fridges” or “consistently good data entry”, which he can “like” or “appreciate”. This, in turn, triggers a notification of “appreciation” to health workers, and enables a relatively frictionless channel for motivating them towards sustained performance.
