The cStock approach uses mobile technology, user friendly dashboards, and quality improvement teams to reduce stockouts of critical commodities in community-based health programs. The cStock approach includes three critical components that improve data visibility, create a culture of data use, and drive accountability for performance. The three components are:
1. A simple mHealth tool that uses a streamlined, demand-based reporting and resupply process. Stock data reported by the CHW triggers the re-order process, whereby cStock automatically calculates resupply quantities and transmits a request via app messaging or SMS to supervisors at health facilities. The health facilities then send feedback to the CHW when the order is ready or if they are out of stock. This process facilitates accuracy in order quantities, reduces transport time and costs, and improves communication.
2. A user-centred dashboard that converts the data into relevant, aggregated, and timely community logistics indicators. The web-based dashboard displays the data in easy-to-read graphs and charts to facilitate rapid decision making by subnational and national level program managers and partners.
3. IMPACT team which include CHWs, supervisors, managers, and pharmacy staff are action-oriented teams with a shared goal of improving product availability, and a collective responsibility to identify and implement solutions to supply chain problems. They use a quality improvement approach to interpret data, prioritize problems and find solutions, and take action to improve performance. (IMPACT stands for information mobilized, performance analysis, and continuous transformation).
This study proposes to introduce and test the cStock approach in two sub-counties of Siaya county to prove that by improving reporting and resupply through the use of mobile technology, and enhancing the use of data for resupply stockouts of critical commodities in iCCM programs can be reduced. The evidence from this study w

Primary Outcome(s)
|
1. Number of participants (community health volunteers) submitting a report on their medicines every month, measured by analyzing data submitted to the cStock system each month
2. Number of participants (community health volunteers) with medicines in stock, measured by counting number of medicines in stock in their home at baseline and endline
3. Number of participants (community health volunteers) with medicines in stock every month according to submitted reports every month, measured by analyzing data submitted to the cStock system
4. Number of supervisors supplying adequate quantity of medicines to the community health volunteers, measured by analyzing receipts sent to the cStock system
|
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
|
Number of children treated for malaria and diarrhoea, measured by counting number of cases recorded on patient registers as treated at baseline and endline
