Baby’s information is split onto two pages according to frequency of details accessed at each immunization visit. Baby’s birth date and registration number, full name and gender are along with immunization schedule other details like address at birth, blood group are on adjoining page.

Baby’s information spread

In a scenario where electronic health records are common accessing baby’s demographic details is fairly easy and having baby’s information on immunization schedule may seem like overkill. However in resource poor settings - the immunization card may be the only common source to contain demographic and health information of the baby.  Hence these details were retained.

During the contextual inquiry at private clinic, nurses and doctors were found flipping through pages to access baby’s demographic information as it was on a different page than the immunization schedule. Considering that a clinic side copy of immunization details of each child would be maintained in a government PHC or hospital, it makes more sense to have baby’s information in close proximity to the immunization schedule so that the name of the baby and immunization administered can be seen together at a glance along with other details such as head circumference, weight, height of the baby and date of next visit. This ensures accuracy and reduces time taken in information input as well as retrieval.
