SESSION CONTENTS

STEP 1: Presentation of Session Title and Learning Tasks (5 minutes)

READ or ASK students to read the learning tasks and clarify

ASK students if they have any questions before continuing.

STEP 2: Factors Hindering Monitoring and Evaluation of Medicines Use

(15 minutes)

Activity: Buzzing (5minutes)

ASK students to pair up and buzz on the following question for 5 minutes

• What are the factors hinder monitoring and evaluation of medicine uses?

ALLOW few pairs to respond and let other pairs add on points not mentioned

WRITE their response on the flip chart/board

CLARIFY and SUMMARIZE by using the content below

• Poor record keeping, availability and accessibility of medical records

• Unsustainable system of regular monitoring and evaluation of medicine use

• There is limited advocacy for culture of monitoring and evaluation of medicine use

• Economic factors

• Patient factors such as a delay of patient to be included in the sampling frame

• Inadequate number of human resource

• Lack of expertise

• Most monitoring tools include indicators that are difficult to collect data especially if done

regularly

• Limited resources that are not consistently allocated

STEP 3: Factors hindering Monitoring and Evaluation of Medicines Use

(15 minutes)

• Poor record keeping, availability and accessibility of medical records. Difficulties in

assessing the patient‘s medical files it becomes a challenge in obtaining data during

monitoring and evaluation of medicine use although others might be available but

accessibility becomes also a challenge.

• Unsustainable system of regular monitoring and evaluation of medicine use. Many

established systems for monitoring and evaluation of medicine use they do not sustain for

long time therefore it becomesdifficult to establish it again.

• There is limited advocacy for culture of monitoring and evaluation of medicine use.

Many facilities have no tendency or behaviour of carrying out monitoring and evaluation of

medicine use this lack support from facilities, pharmacies and the government itself have no

tendency of promoting monitoring and evaluation of medicine use

• Economic factor. Economy stability to support the monitoring and evaluation of medicine

use also have become unreliable due to inadequate funds to take people to field for data

collection

• Patient factors. Delay of patient to be included in the sampling frame. Delay of patients to

participate in interview during data collection on the field is ain obtaining information from

some medicine use indicators in monitoring and evaluation of medicine use.

• Inadequate number of human resource. Lack of expertise and adequate number of personnel

to perform monitoring and evaluation of medicine use

• Most monitoring tools include indicators that are difficult to collect data especially if done

regularly.

• Limited resources that are not consistently allocated. The allocation of resource for

conducting monitoring and evaluation of medicine use are not consistently allocated which

becomes difficult in conducting the assessments and monitoring of medicine uses.

STEP 4: Measures to Improve Monitoring and Evaluation of Medicines Uses

(15 minutes)

Activity: Brainstorming (5 minutes)

Ask students to brainstorm on the following question:

• What are the measures to improve monitoring and evaluation of medicine uses?

ALLOW few students to respond?

WRITE their responses on the flip chart/ board

CLARIFY and SUMMARISE by using the content below

• Establishment of sustainable system of monitoring and evaluation

• There should be a clear communication of plans and targets

• To promote advocacy on culture of monitoring and evaluation of medicine use

• Training personnel on importance of monitoring and evaluation of medicine use well as how

to carry it

• To put a clear availability and accessibility of medical record this will enable expertise to

carry the task easily.

• To allocate resources consistently

• To increase more number of human resource to coordinate the activity.

STEP 6: Key Points(5 minutes)

• Factor hindering monitoring and evaluation of medicine uses includes; lackof expertise,

economic factors, patient factors and insufficient human resource.

• Measures to improve monitoring evaluation of medicine uses is by allocation of more

resources consistently, making availability and accessibility of medical records

STEP 7: Evaluation (5 minutes)

• What are factors hindering monitoring and evaluation of medicine uses?

• What are measures to improve monitoring and evaluation of medicine uses?
