What's inside DHIS2

  1. Overview of Malaria HMIS data set structures

    The Malaria program consists of three distinct data sets that can be used independently or in combination based on the public health priority of the geographical area:
    DatasetFrequencyPurposeRecommended Level
    Malaria annual dataAnnualKey info on target/catchment population.District level (typically)
    Malaria burden reductionMonthlyPriority areas for burden reduction.Lowest administrative level
    Malaria eliminationMonthlyPriority areas for malaria elimination.Lowest administrative level

  3. Overview of COVIDVAC Vaccination Delivery Dashboard

    The predefined 'COVIDVAC - COVID-19 Vaccination Delivery' dashboard provides a two-part overview of vaccination activities:

    1. Vaccination Activities and Population: Tracks 1st and 2nd doses, vaccine uptake, population coverage, staff availability, drop-out rates, and AEFIs.
    2. Stock Status: Provides an overview of vaccine and item stock, including discrepancy rates, stockout days, and vaccine usage.

  4. Overview of the DHIS2 EmONC Aggregate Toolkit

    The DHIS2 EmONC Aggregate Toolkit is designed to monitor emergency obstetric and newborn care service readiness and performance. It consists of two primary components:

    1. Dashboards and Indicators: Four dashboards categorized by use level:
      • Health Facility Dashboards: Specific to the level of care provided: BEmONC (Basic), CEmONC (Comprehensive), and IEmONC (Intermediate/Referral). These focus on essential drugs, supplies, equipment, and signal functions.
      • Subnational and National Dashboard: Used by district, regional, and national managers to aggregate data across facilities for strategic planning and resource prioritization.
    2. Aggregate Data Set: A single dataset based on the EmONC Light Assessment Tool (LAT). It captures facility readiness (drugs, supplies, equipment), delivery outcomes, signal function performance, and referral systems. Reporting is typically quarterly or biannual.

  5. Overview of DHIS2 COVID-19 Surveillance digital data package

    DHIS2 provides a digital metadata package designed to accelerate COVID-19 case detection, situation reporting, active surveillance, and response. The package is aligned with World Health Organization (WHO) technical guidance on surveillance and case definitions. These modules are designed to be adaptable and can be reused for other emerging infectious disease threats to strengthen health emergency preparedness.

  6. Overview of Immunization (EPI) Triangulation Dashboard

    The Immunization (EPI) Triangulation package is a DHIS2 dashboard module designed to provide indicators and analytics by triangulating data from three sources: the Immunization (EPI) aggregate package for HMIS, the Integrated Disease Surveillance (IDS) aggregate package, and the Case-based tracker for vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). For the dashboard to be effective, routine immunization and surveillance data must be available within the same DHIS2 instance.

  7. Overview of the Hypertension Registry System Design

    The Hypertension Registry is a DHIS2 Tracker program designed for primary health care providers to register hypertensive patients and conduct routine monthly follow-ups. The system prioritizes a minimal dataset to reduce the reporting burden on care providers while tracking three key indicators: percentage of patients with controlled blood pressure, percentage with uncontrolled blood pressure, and percentage of missed monthly visits. It is designed for offline data capture via the DHIS2 Android app and online use via the Tracker Capture app.

  8. Overview of the DHIS2 Rehabilitation System module

    The Rehabilitation aggregate package is designed to strengthen health information systems by collecting routine data from health facilities to define rehabilitation targets, inform clinical decision-making, and monitor service availability and distribution to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The module focuses on general service delivery rather than specific interventions to minimize the data collection burden on facilities. It is intended for use by Ministry of Health decision makers, program managers, health facility managers, and research institutes.

  9. Overview of the Child Protection and Interpersonal Violence (CPIPV) module

    The aggregate CH - Child Protection and Interpersonal Violence (CPIPV) module is designed to track child protection and interpersonal violence indicators. It consists of a monthly dataset for service referrals, a yearly dataset for annual follow-ups (including FGM and health promotion), core indicators for both, and a predefined dashboard. For effective reporting, these datasets should be assigned to Organisation Units at the lowest feasible level, such as Villages or local community demarcations.

  10. Overview of the DHIS2 STI Toolkit

    The DHIS2 STI toolkit is designed to enhance data quality and surveillance for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) based on WHO frameworks. It supports the collection of routine data on STI-related syndromes, laboratory-confirmed diagnoses, and syphilis testing/treatment among pregnant women (EMTCT). The toolkit is intended for STI program managers, data managers, system administrators, and implementing partners.

  11. Overview of CHIS Malaria module configuration

    The aggregate CH - Malaria module is designed for community-level malaria tracking and consists of four primary components:

    1. A monthly dataset for key malaria data elements.
    2. A yearly dataset for annual follow-up information.
    3. Core indicators derived from both datasets.
    4. A predefined "CH - Malaria" dashboard.

    It is recommended to assign these datasets to Organisation Units at the lowest feasible level of the health system, such as Villages or specific community demarcations.

  12. Overview of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) Residual Efficacy Monitoring

    IRS Residual Efficacy Monitoring tracks the effectiveness of insecticide applications on resting surfaces (walls, eaves, ceilings) over time. Efficacy is measured using the WHO cone bioassay: susceptible mosquitoes are placed in plastic cones attached to sprayed surfaces for a 30-minute exposure period. IRS is considered to retain optimal efficacy if at least 80% of susceptible mosquitoes die within 24 hours (or longer, depending on the insecticide) of exposure.
