PSI's DHIS Organisation Units Tree
- Rodolfo Melia
In DHIS2 Organisation Units are used to represent administrative subdivisions for which we can collect and later analyse data. Organisation units are organized within a hierarchy, also referred to as a tree. The hierarchy will reflect the organizational/ country structure and its levels. Typical levels in such a hierarchy are the national, province, district and facility levels.
PSI Countries hierarchy
This is the main hirerchy, which is exposed to all users. It is structured as follows
Level |
| Geo-info |
|
|---|---|---|---|
2 | PSI Region |
|
|
3 | Coutnry | Poligon |
|
4-6 or 7 | Subnational Level 1,2,3,(4) | Poligons |
|
7 or 8 | Facility |
|
|
8 or 9 | Health Worker |
|
|
MPHD hierarchy
would this be a root? or leave as an exemption in Test Countries?
Unitaid hierarchy
Is this an error? Does it need to be a root OU?
Test Countries hierarchy
Only available to system administrators.
The main purpose of this tree is to contain ‘ready-to-go’ countries with sub-national level 1 and 2, and related geo-data ready for production - they just need to be moved to the main PSI tree “PSI Countries” hierarchy.
This tree is also used for limited just-before go-live testing. In general, we do not expect more than 1 or 2 events for a program, or 2 or 3 data points on a dataset. Ideally data should be deleted.
