HNQIS 2 (H2) has been redeveloped using the DHIS2 tracker data model, and uses DHIS2 standard Android app, in contrast to H1, which required the use of a custom Android App. Additionally, H2 can now use either the web-based tracker capture app or the standard DHIS2 android app. Optionally, a for of DHIS2 android app add functionality for providing the feedback functionality.
Use of DHIS2 tracker data model
Doesn’t use event - why?
details of the model
Org Units: Facilities vs Providers
Most DHIS2 server already have their Org Unit structures defined to the facility level. Only some used a further level to register the actual provider (the health
Option 1: Provider as the OU (default, recommended)
Sub-National (OU)
|__ Facility (OU)
|__ Provider (OU)
|__ Assessment Cycle (TEI): Start/ End, Scoring data.
|__ Feedback (Managed events - future)
|__ Actions (Repeatable event)
Main advantages
UX: each TEI is single assessment, with related required set of actions and feedback.
Compatible with UiO’s future managed events design to address the feedback functionality - each failed question creates one managed event, which results in multiple entries.
Allows assignment of specific checklists to each provider (as they are OUs)
Analytics: fully fledge, at provider level
Disadvantages
It requires the provider to be set as an org unit before the assessment can be conducted.
Option 2: Facility as the OU / Provider as TEA
This is a variation of Option 1, which introduces the use of a TEA (Tracked Entity Attribute) that allows to record the provider name (free text).
Sub-National (OU)
|__ Facility (OU)
|__ 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
Main advantages
It is rare to have a full list of providers available in advance to set up as OUs. Using TEI to enrol a provider during the visit is more realistic for on-the-ground implementation.
Disadvantages
Analytics can only be generated by facility, NOT by provider (provider shows only at line-listing level)
FEEDBACK sharing is at the Org Unit level, not at the provider level.
Option 3: Facility as the OU / Provider as TEI: NOT RECOMMENDED
Note: you will need to modify PSI’s provided metadata packages for this option.
Sub-National (OU)
|__ Facility (OU)
|__ Provider (TEI)
|__ Assessment (Repeatable event, one per assessment)
|__ Feedback (Managed events - future. Could be 100s)
|__ Actions (Repeatable event - 1 to 5 per assessment
NOTE: we cannot use enrolments as DHIS2 doesn’t yet (2.38) has enrolment analytics.
Main advantages
It is rare to have a full list of providers available in advance to set up as OUs. Using TEI to enrol a provider during the visit is more realistic for on-the-ground implementation.
Disadvantages:
Mixes assessment/ actions and feedback events (manged events for feedback)
