In my current role, I manage patient records in Kenya EMR, validate and clean data for KHIS and donor reporting, and reduced data-entry errors by 20% through staff mentoring and quality checks.
I've led data quality assessments across health facilities, achieved over 95% reporting accuracy, and trained more than 50 staff on documentation and reporting standards. I bring hands-on experience with Excel, DHIS2, CRIMS, SPSS, secure records handling, and deadline-driven remote work.
