Erik, DHIS2 is a data reporting and aggregation system. It relies on accurate data submissions from GoK health facilities, unfortunately most of the data reported from the public facilities is not accurate and is usually done on Excel, copied and pasted from paper records. So it becomes a serious case of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out). The appropriate step is to get things working at the hospital level, set up EMR (Electronic Medical Record) systems, train the personnel and provide the necessary infrastructure. The EMRs can then transmit the information to DHIS2 automatically. On Wed, Jun 8, 2011 at 8:47 PM, Erick Njenga <eriknjenga@gmail.com> wrote:
Just as an FYI, the government is in the plans of testing out an open source system (dhis2) which is being developed by some guys (University) from Norway. The project has even been piloted in the coast and has some serious support from the govt.
