What is the Rapid Capture module?
The Rapid Capture module is a two screen module and paper form combination that speeds the transition from paper to computer system. The Paper form is printed when the patient comes in. It shows the primary HIV care data for the last three patient visits. There is then a space to select/circle/write in information for the current visit. version 1 of this tool has been tested at two sites in Africa. The paper is given to a data entry person at the pharmacy and the data is entered while the patient waits for the prescription to be fulfilled. Rapid Capture is not as extensive as the full version of TE, so it can be used during transition from paper to electronic systems or for sites seeing large numbers of patients on a daily basis.
