A reporting system on Family Welfare Progamme has been implemented by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India with the objective that the reporting system and items to be reported should be as few as possible so as to avoid unnecessary burden of work on the Medical Officers of Health Centres and thereby facilitate regular submission of the required reports.
In this context, a software on Community Needs Assessment Approach (CNAA) has been developed by NIC, Madhya Pradesh State Unit and implemented in all the Districts in the State. The software on CNAA has also been supplied to the MoHFW, Govt of India for wide implementation in all the States of the country. A State directory with the corresponding Districts has been provided to install the software in any State and the corresponding District.
First of all the software needs to be installed for any State and corresponding district. An initial directory of all the Public Health Centres (PHC) and the First Referral Units (FRUs) may be prepared for the first time which can be edited as and when required. The software covers computerisation of Annual Action Plans and Monthly Reports.
Action Plan - Action Plans for PHCs, FRUs, Districts and State are to be prepared only once in a year. After data preparation of Action Plans for all the PHCs and FRUs, aggregated District Action Plan would be automatically prepared which is to be transmitted to State capital as well as MoHFW, GOI. At state level, all the District Action Plans are aggregated to prepare State Action Plan automatically. Facility has also been provided for data preparation of District Action Plan and State Action Plan directly.
Monthly Report - The software has been provided for computerisation of Monthly Reports from PHCs, FRUs and Districts. After data preparation for all the PHCs and FRUs, Monthly Report for district would be automatically prepared for all the items which are common. Data entry for such items of District Monthly Report which vary from the same for Monthly Report from PHCs and FRUs is to be done at district level. Facility has also been provided for data preparation for District Monthly Report directly.
The software is being further augmented which would cover the following:-
District-wise Output Reports giving % achievement against service needs and rank of the District in the state.
Health Bulletin on important parameters.
An Exception Report
