Track Adverse Events

An illustrative guide to using the Adverse Events feature

Overview

While administering the dose to a beneficiary (usually children), there can be instances when the beneficiary shows some symptoms against the dose provided. These adverse events need to be recorded and monitored as they help to take precautionary measures for further doses as well as in future campaigns for that beneficiary. It is helpful for cases when a beneficiary's situation becomes critical and he/she need to be referred to a healthcare facility. This is also crucial for resource tracking because, in certain campaigns, the beneficiary can be re-administered the dose even after they vomit out the medicine.

Key Features

1. Recording adverse events.

2. Enabling actors to record and track the adverse events observed in a beneficiary after administration of the dose.

3. Monitoring the data to plan and decide on upcoming doses during the campaign.
