Leprosy Training Module for Medical Officers

Reports
The simplified information system under NLEP has one reporting format to be
used to report from PHC / health institution to district level.
NLEP Monthly Reporting Form – PHC ( L. F. 04 )
• This reporting format will be utilised by primary health centres, which are the
basic units under NLEP.
• This simple form will be filled up from the data available in the treatment
record ( L. F. 02 ) and MDT drug stock record ( L. F. 03 ) maintained at the
PHC.
• The report is to be sent by the Medical Officer of the PHC to the District
Leprosy Officer every month regularly.
Validation Mechanism at different levels
The essence of a successful information system is the meticulous collection and
reporting of correct data. It is, therefore, important to regularly cross check and
validate the data collected and reported. To achieve this, there should be inbuilt
mechanism for validation of data within the system at all levels.
Validation of records at the sub – centre
• From the Patient Card, validate treatment completion.
• This has to be done by the Medical Officer / Supervisor at the PHC.
Validation of records at the Primary health centre
• Validate the diagnosis classification and treatment completion on a sample
of patients. Also, validate treatment register.
• Check the MDT drug record and physical verification of drugs.
• Validation should be done by District Leprosy Officer / Medical Officers of the
district nucleus.
