No | Aims of interventions | IT Tools For Interventions | phases | Intervention types and processes | Monitoring & evaluation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Improve childhood immunization [26] | - Electronic Health Record (EHR) - Barcode technology | After and during vaccination | - EHR alert and reminder - Rapid and accurate input of information via scanning of the vaccine barcode. | - Improving the quality of care - Improve communication between health care providers - Reduce missed immunization - Tracking and reporting vaccination program |
2 | Improve vaccine coverage [27] | SMS reminders | pre vaccination | Alert for track individual | Improve immunization coverage and timeliness |
3 | Inform and improve decision-making for polio programming and response [28]. | GPS, smartphone | During vaccination | Electronic questionnaire upload to smartphone and GPS co-ordinate for each household | - Enabling collect standardized data in real-time - Help stakeholder to decision-making, - Save time and cost |
4 | Improve immunization Coverage and timeliness [29]. | SMS reminder | Pre vaccination | 2 SMS reminders—3 days and 1 day before measles immunization | Improve measles vaccination coverage |
5 | Improve the coverage and quality of the vaccination [30] | GIS | After vaccination | Create map for identifying vaccination state for each lot and for different type of vaccine | Increase the coverage and quality of the vaccination services. |
6 | Increase influenza vaccination rates [31] | Text and e-mail message | Before vaccination | Protect children who do not receive vaccination | Cost effective improve the rate of vaccination |
7 | Increase their vaccination coverage [32] | Website | After vaccination | Educational program through website to increase knowledge | Possibility of increasing vaccination coverage |
8 | Improving completion of the infant primary immunization series [33] | SMS reminder | Pre vaccination | Three SMS reminders one week before the second and third dose. | SMS reminders would be helpful for remembering appointment |
9 | - Assess the coverage of vaccination - Introduce Global Positioning System (GPS) and Google Earth as new tools for vaccine coverage [34] | GPS | After vaccination | Spatial mapping using a GPS receiver and Google Earth | - Immunization coverage identified - Probable reason found for partial/non-immunized children. |
10 | Timely creation of an electronic registry [35] | mHealth | Pre vaccination | Pre-registered people with card and during vaccination scan the card | Identify who had not yet been vaccinated |
