Fewer facilities were available to participate in interviews at post-intervention compared to baseline. In Tanzania, at the time of the post-intervention assessment some of the facilities were still using the paper system only and so there was no difference from baseline; hence, we did not collect post-intervention data at these facilities. In Zambia, some facilities had not started using the electronic system at the time of post-intervention data collection, so they were also excluded from the post-intervention data collection. The number of facilities sampled at each time point are reported here
