RESUMO
A real-time data collection system can mitigate problems of data completeness, accuracy and timeliness often experienced using paper-based data collection and subsequent data entry. The Client Management Information System developed for the Malawi AIDS Counseling and Resource Organization employs touchscreen computers to collect client information during voluntary counseling and testing sessions. A user-friendly interface allows counselors with low levels of computer literacy to electronically capture client data in real-time without compromising the quality of counseling.
