发展中国家的大多数组织仍然依赖纸张保存记录，在数据的汇总、储存、传输和分析方面产生了许多问题。与纸质数据相关的错误和时间延迟在医疗保健领域尤其成问题。我们提出了一个案例研究的CommCare，低成本的移动的电话数据收集解决方案部署，以提高基于纸张的记录管理系统的非营利组织在预防儿童营养不良在印度中部农村地区。通过一个为期三个月的无人监督的现场试验，10个农村卫生工作者，我们报告的数据管理收益的数据质量，完整性和及时性的836例记录的患者病例，并表现出强烈的偏好的系统的卫生工作者。我们发现，使用和接受该系统的动机与使用该设备以及与工作无关的电话使用相关的当地社区的尊重和社会力量有关。
Most organizations in the developing world still rely on paper for record keeping, giving rise to many problems in aggregation, storage, transmission and analysis of data. Errors and time delays associated with paper data are particularly problematic in the domain of healthcare. We present a case study of CommCare, a low-cost mobile phone data collection solution deployed to enhance the paper-based record management system of a non-profit organization working in prevention of child malnutrition in rural central India. Through a three-month unsupervised field trial with ten rural health workers we report data management gains in terms of data quality, completeness and timeliness for 836 recorded patient cases, and demonstrate strong preference of the system by health workers. We found that the motivation for use and acceptance of the system was tied to respect and social power in local communities associated with using the device, as well as non-work-related uses of the phone.
