---Ethiopia’s health system is undergoing a digital transformation, and Fenot Associates is at the forefront of this journey. We specialize in developing and scaling digital tools that turn fragmented data into life-saving insights. From pioneering the national e-PSIRLS (Electronic Patient Safety Incident Reporting and Learning System) to implementing advanced Data Triangulation models, we help health facilities move beyond paper-based reporting.
We recognize that technology is only 20% of the solution. Our
methodology focuses on training healthcare workers to use digital
tools to build a "Learning Culture," where reporting an error is seen as
an act of professional excellence, not a reason for punishment.
As seen in our MCH Commodity Triangulation work, we harmonize
facility registries across different digital platforms. By granting DHIS2
access to supply personnel, we break down "information silos.
We provide the digital framework for facilities to conduct automated
Root-Cause Analyses. This moves the system from simply "counting
accidents" to "understanding and fixing" the underlying system failure.
For years, patient safety incidents in Ethiopia were under-reported due to the burden of paper forms and a fear of professional repercussions. Fenot partnered with the HSIQ-LEO to launch the e-PSIRLS. In our pilot phase, we saw a measurable increase in the quality of reported near-misses. By moving the system to a secure, digital platform, we have empowered healthcare providers to speak up. Today, what was once a hidden 'incident' is now a digital data point driving national policy changes and preventing preventable harm for 4 out of 10 patients across the country.
