Diagnostic Network Optimization
Globally, diagnosis is the biggest gap in the cascade of care. According to the recent Lancet Commission on diagnostics, 35-62% of populations lack access to diagnostics for six common medical conditions in low- and middle-income countries, including in Africa, and this gap in access is particularly exacerbated at the primary healthcare level. Diagnostic network optimization (DNO), a geospatial data analytics approach that informs diagnostic strategies and operational planning, is an intervention that can allow countries to determine how to provide the greatest access to equitable and timely diagnostic services, while maximising overall efficiencies of laboratory systems. Activities in this course will help students better understand DNO.
