Healthy Learners partnered with Rippleworks to build an automated data reporting system

Healthy Learners brings healthcare to schools across Zambia by training teachers to actively monitor and respond to the health needs of their students, providing health education, basic medical care, referral of sick children, and preventative health programs. Healthy Learners programs have been shown to lead to positive health outcomes including a 38 percent reduction in disease morbidity and a 52 percent decrease in the odds of a child being stunted.

Healthy Learners’ top priority was building an automated direct reporting system to reduce the administrative burden and increase the timeliness of delivering actionable health data to schools. Healthy Learners partnered with Rippleworks to assess and define the current and future states of their reporting process, identify tools to automate manual reporting and distribution processes, and pilot a process to execute automated reporting and distribution.

Healthy Learners partnered with Rippleworks Expert Paul Vial, who led data analytics projects at the International Organization for Migration, McKesson, Change Healthcare, Hyperlight Systems, and ProCogia. Together, they:

• Learned best practices for business analysis and defined their current state business process diagram

• Ranked reporting and reporting distribution requirements with importance values; created vendor scorecard to assess vendor functionality, compatibility, and usability

• Identified tools to automate manual reporting processes of multiple data sources

• Designed automated reporting of key findings and recommendations based on actuals against benchmarks

• Piloted process to execute automated reporting using new tools for reporting
