What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced records and archives manager and administrative professional with over 8 years in the health sector, specialising in data capturing, records management, and administrative support in fast-paced environments. I single-handedly migrated 14,000 medical records from paper-based to electronic format in 6 weeks with 100% accuracy, building a strong foundation in data integrity and confidentiality. I’m known for fast, accurate data entry—45+ words per minute—without compromising quality.
I generate clear visual reports on priority health indicators, identifying trends and outliers to support decision-making. I’ve also implemented information flow systems that contributed to improved production efficiency and patient waiting times, always with a focus on reliable, audit-ready records. Whether it’s weekly, monthly, quarterly, or ad hoc reporting, I make sure data is consistent, verifiable, and easy to act on.
In my roles, I capture and verify data on health information systems, including ART and TB data capturing on Tier.net and ensuring DHIS2 reporting is in place. I maintain HIM registries, ensure proper filing of monthly data reports (physical and electronic), and run validation checks and validation queries to protect data quality. I also support Data Quality Management (DQMs) monitoring and contribute inputs to analysis and comparisons of TB/HIV/MCH programme indicators and performance reviews.
