How quality is assured

Structured interview

Every interview uses the WHO 2022 instrument, with skip logic and range checks applied on the device before submission.

Algorithmic coding

InterVA-5 assigns a probable cause. Low-confidence records and maternal or injury deaths are escalated for physician review.

Supervisory review

District supervisors sample completed interviews each cycle and can query a record back to the field team for correction.
