BACKGROUND In 2016-2017, Vietnam's Ministry of Health (MoH) implemented an event-based surveillance (EBS) pilot project in six provinces as part of Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) efforts. This manuscript describes development and design of tools for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of EBS in Vietnam. METHODS A strategic EBS framework was developed based on the EBS implementation pilot project's goals and objectives. The main process and outcome components were identified and included input, activities, outputs, and outcome indicators. M&E tools were developed to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The tools included a supervisory checklist, a desk review tool, a key informant interview guide, a focus group discussion guide, a timeliness form, and an online acceptability survey. An evaluation team conducted field visits for assessment of EBS 5-9 months after implementation. RESULTS The quantitative data collected provided evidence on the number and type of events that were being reported, the timeliness of the system, and the event-to-signal ratio. The qualitative and subjective data collected helped to increase understanding of the system's field utility and acceptance by field staff, reasons for non-compliance with established guidelines, and other factors influencing implementation. CONCLUSIONS The use of M&E tools for the EBS pilot project in Vietnam provided data on signals and events reported, timeliness of reporting and response, perceptions and opinions of implementers, and fidelity of EBS implementation. These data were valuable for Vietnam's MoH to understand the function of the EBS program, and the success and challenges of implementing this project in Vietnam.

开发基于事件的监测的监测和评估工具：越南的经验。


背景 2016-2017 年，越南卫生部 (MoH) 在六个省实施了基于事件的监测 (EBS) 试点项目，作为全球卫生安全议程 (GHSA) 努力的一部分。本手稿描述了越南 EBS 监测和评估 (M&E) 工具的开发和设计。方法 根据 EBS 实施试点项目的目的和目标，制定了战略 EBS 框架。确定了主要过程和成果组成部分，包括投入、活动、产出和成果指标。开发监测和评估工具是为了收集定量和定性数据。这些工具包括监督清单、案头审查工具、关键知情人访谈指南、焦点小组讨论指南、及时性表格和在线可接受性调查。评估小组在EBS实施后5-9个月进行实地考察评估。结果 收集的定量数据提供了有关所报告事件的数量和类型、系统的及时性以及事件与信号比率的证据。收集的定性和主观数据有助于加深对系统的现场效用和现场工作人员的接受程度、不遵守既定准则的原因以及影响实施的其他因素的了解。结论 越南 EBS 试点项目使用监测与评估工具提供了关于报告的信号和事件、报告和响应的及时性、实施者的看法和意见以及 EBS 实施的保真度的数据。这些数据对于越南卫生部了解 EBS 项目的功能以及在越南实施该项目的成功和挑战非常有价值。
