Abstract
Maternal death is the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of terminal ion of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and sire of the pregnancy. Each maternal death has a story to tell and can provide indications on practical ways of addressing its causes and determinants. Most of these deaths could have been prevented with quality care. Accurate information on how many women died, where they died and why they died is essential, however currently the information is not containing all the necessary data.
The Maternal Death Surveillance and Response done with clear standards provide information that can be used in the development of programs and interventions to improve maternal health. The existing paper based MDSR (Maternal Death Surveillance and Response) system has a problem of delaying of data and information flow from each level, lack of data quality, storage and retrieval of data as needed is difficult. Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) can play in improving information and accountability. The aim of the designed project is to automate the current paper based MDSR system in order to access adequate and timely information on the website from local to national level for Addis Ababa City Administration Health Bauer (health extension worker, Woreda Health Administration, health facilities, Sub-City, Addis Ababa Health Bauer and FMoH). The designed project was conducted in Addis Ababa and conceptually designing of the web• based Maternal Death Surveillance System for Addis Ababa City Administration Health Bureau. The project used Unified Process methodology with object oriented approach. 1n order to collect requirements, used a data collection tools (i.e. interview and relevant document review). Analysis and design of the proposed system was performed by using the unified modeling language tools and Microsoft Visio 2013 software. The system prototype is also developed in order 10 understand the design system. System usability test was done to assess effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the users on the developed prototype.
The newly design web-based Maternal Death Surveillance System can improve business process of the existing system i.e. death recording , death notification, combine data ,record action plan about modifiable factors contributing to deaths and use the information to prevent similar deaths in the future. 1t solve the challenges of obtaining accurate data, timely report, incompleteness of data, retrieving and storing data based on the need of stakeholders.
