Hi All,
In preparation for the deployment of a Health Worker Registry (HWR) compliant with the CSD profile, we have recently received some routine reporting requirements (below).
For this country, there is already a DHIS2 instance running at a national scale. Here is one approach, that I would appreciate your thoughts on:
- Share needed meta-data elements as SVS files. Note: Bob has already provided a way to transform this into a DHIS2 data set.
- Write the needed report as CSD stored functions and publish them to the HWR. These stored function would produce the .DXF files for DHIS2
- DHIS2 would poll the HWR on quarterly/bi-annual basis to get the current reported data
- Needed charts/graphs could be developed in DHIS2 using the reported data.
- DHIS2 would handle authorization of who can view the specific reports/data sets
Any issues with this approach in general?
Looking at the reports, in particular 1.h, I notice that we may some “disaggregators” – Male and Female. If I recall, this is bit of a pain in the DHIS2 setup as we would need to know the UID for each of the disaggregators.
As an aside, I am not sure how 1.d, 1.e and 1.f are supposed to be calculated form HWR data exclusively, as the data is not there. But that is another matter.
In any case, I think that this is a useful to illustrate the potential data flow from a HWR to an HMIS.
Cheers,
