Social health insurance (SHI) has played a key role in the successful transition of Vietnam’s HIV response from the  President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to local support. As local governments, organizations and people living with HIV assume greater responsibility paying  for HIV services, improving SHI and HIV service efficiency are vital. From June 21-23, the USAID Sustainable HIV Response from Technical Assistance (SHIFT) project trained health staff in Dien Bien, one of the provinces with the highest HIV prevalence, to utilize an electronic health information system (eHIS-HIV) for HIV patient tracking and generating reports. This eHIS-HIV system has helped the Government of Vietnam prepare for the transition of HIV services to SHI by providing health facilities with comprehensive HIV patient tracking and reporting of data for patient management, pharmacy management, laboratory services, and social health insurance reimbursement. So What? eHIS-HIV is making accurate information to monitor HIV response more available for decision makers at the provincial level.
