This meeting focused on the topic of "Data Integration Across Facilities: Determining a Patient’s Real Treatment Continuity." The community participated in a conversation on identified patterns used to integrate patient-level data across facilities to better discern true HIV retention for an individual.

• Morrison Idiasirue, CiHEB Regional Software Developer with CiHEB Nigeria, shared the Nigeria National Data Repository as the unified data storage and analysis facility that houses de-identified patient level data for HIV tx data.
• Kemar Celestin, HIS Coordinator with CHARESS Haiti, shared on secondary use of data from Haiti's iSantéPlus National Electronic Medical Record system to reduce loss-to-follow-up via alerts, routine data to analyze implementation and site-level performance, as well as by carrying out national-level program and policy evaluations.

Following these presentations was a Q&A to dive deeper into the details shared and the speakers also spoke to more technical-level processes from their experience.
