Trainer's Instructions

1. Welcome the participants to Day 2 of the seminar and review the Day 2 Agenda handout and flipchart (6.1).

2. Highlight the events of Day 1 using the following as a guide:

During Day 1, we covered a lot of material on outcomes, performances measures, the impact of technology, key data elements in SACWIS and related reports, information elicited during supervision and the concept of information management.

3. Mention any memorable or humorous comments made by participants during the previous day.

4. Ask if anyone has any questions, thoughts or comments on anything covered during Day 1. Address any items raised by the participants.

5. Refer to the 'Desired Outcomes' flipchart. Ask participants if they want to add or modify any items. Go through the outcomes, checking any that the participant's say are done and adding any new outcomes or modifications. Mention that we will be checking in on this list again later in the day.

6. Introduce Module 7, Data Analysis Tips, Tools and Techniques using the following as a guideline:

Everyone in this room has been asked at some time to look at data and interpret what it means. As more and more data become available, the need to hone your data analysis skills will increase. In the next module, we will look at how data and information needs can vary depending on where you are situated in an organization, as well as practice some data analysis techniques.
