Kenya’s Clinical Officers Council (COC), and the Kenya Medi-cal Laboratory Technicians and Technologists Board (KMLTTB),and an additional database housed at the Department of Nurs-ing (DON) within the Ministry of Medical Services (MOMS)tracking nursing deployment. Equipment and connectivity aresupplied and maintained by a local IT company. Deploymentdata from the provinces were initially interlinked with deploy-ment data at the MOMS via satellite Internet connection, thesystem later moved to fiber-optic connection. The Windowsbased system was developed using VB.Net 2002–2010, runningon MS SQL Server 2000 databases, hosted on servers operat-ing Windows Server 2003, and accessed within a Local AreaNetwork (LAN) for each board.1Provincial coordinators haveaccess to the system using a CITRIX connection.Key features of the KHWIS are components for captur-ing data on pre-service education, training, registration andrelicensing, in-service specialties and upgrades, continuingprofessional development (CPD), human resources manage-ment, nursing deployment, and the ability to link nursingregulation data with nursing deployment data. The aim is tofacilitate deployment of the right health workers (qualifica-tions, skills mix) in the right place (deployment location) atthe right time (availability) [18]. In 2011, KHWIS received anAward for Excellence from the WHO for its impact on humanresources planning, health management, and the provisionof workforce information resulting in positive policy changes[19].
