DHIS2 Tracker Data Model

and Options

An assessment is formed from multiple types of events (

DHIS2 Program Stages).

• The actual assessment (A none-repeatable stage), which contains all the questions (this could be hundreds)

• Action items (a repeatable stage). Each entry is a corrective action that is agreed upon after the supervision

• Feedback program stage, in the form of ‘managed events’. This feature doesn’t exist yet, but it is planned by UiO. It could result in many entries, one per failed question.

Org Units

Assignment: Facilities vs Providers

When a H2 Program is created, there are different levels at which you can enable it using the Program Org Unit assignment feature.

Most DHIS2 server already has their Org Unit structures with the facility level as their lowest level.

Only some use a subsequent level to register the actual health provider, by name, allowing the recording and analysis of data specific to the health officer’s performance.

We present below the different ways that you can do the Org Unit assignment of H2 assessment lists,

with the advantages and disadvantages.

Option 1: Provider as the OU (recommended)

• Sub-National (OU)

  • Facility (OU)

    • Provider (OU) --> Program OU assignment

      • Assessment Cycle (TEI): Start/ End, Scoring data

        • Feedback (Managed events - future)

        • Actions (Repeatable event)

Option 2: Facility as the OU / Provider as TEA

This is a variation of Option 1, which introduces the use of a TEA

that allows recording the provider name (free text).

Note: you will need to modify PSI’s provided metadata packages for this option. You will need to create a new TEA for the provider, and add it to the TEI assessment.

• Sub-National (OU)

  • Facility (OU)  --> Program OU assignment

    • Assessment Cycle (TEI): Start/ End, Scoring data.
      TEA: PROVIDER

      • Assessment (single events)

      • Feedback (Managed events - future. Could be 100s)

      • Actions (Repeatable event - 1 to 5 per assessment

Option 3: Facility as the OU / Provider as TEI

The idea is to ‘enrol’ a provider as a tracked entity, and then conduct all assessments in that Tracked Entity.

Note: you will need to modify PSI’s provided metadata packages for this option. You will need to create a new type of Tracked Entity, and change the PCA.

• Sub-National (OU)

  • Facility (OU) --> Program OU

• • Assignment

    • Provider (TEI)

      • Assessment (Repeatable event, one per assessment)

      • Feedback (Managed events - future. Could be 100s)

      • Actions (Repeatable event - 1 to 5 per assessment

Option 4: Provider as TEI, Assessment as Enrolment

Not considered - analytics is not possible: we cannot use enrolments as DHIS2 with the current version (2.38) which does not have enrolment analytics.
