A key tool in ensuring that communities are adequately immunized is the electronic immunization register (EIR), which helps monitor individual immunization schedules and vaccination histories at the local level. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bidinitiative.org\/\">BID Initiative<\/a> , EIRs \u201ccontain comprehensive data on the number and type of vaccines delivered, and in some cases, stock management and growth monitoring of children. EIRs support immunization programs by providing timely and precise information and may reduce workloads associated with paper-based records.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ona\u2019s mandate:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Develop a solution that simplified how nurses register children and record immunization visits.<\/li>\n<li>Relieve nurses of heavy reporting burden.<\/li>\n<li>Improve data quality so the national health ministry can more accurately track the performance of immunization programs, which would in turn lead to improved immunization coverage and lower drop-out rates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1135 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zeri-register-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zeri-register-2.png 1200w, https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zeri-register-2-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zeri-register-2-1024x647.png 1024w, https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-content\/\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zeri-register-2-768x485.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":834,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study\/218"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-study"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case-study"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ona.io\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
