Abstract

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has caused the death of millions of people worldwide. To combat the effect of HIV/AIDS, the South African government started with the provisioning of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) in the public health sector. Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of this ART programme is of the utmost importance. A business intelligence approach was followed that first of all integrated several independent operational sources into one data warehouse and then delivered strategic management information with easy to use business intelligence tools that was developed and deployed for the users. The business intelligence solution was then evaluated by the users of the system and the results indicated that the users deemed the solution to be an effective way to obtain strategic information on the rollout of the ARV treatment programme.
