Design Concepts & Data Model

DHIS2 building blocks


Objectives
Understand design approach of DHIS2
Understand the building blocks and the meaning of
the data model
Understand DHIS2 as information provider and
analysis tool, not only a data collection system
DHIS 2 as an integrated data repository and a point for
information

All data in one place – a central repository


Supports collection of many different data sets
Automated import from other systems like MFL, HR, etc.
Avoid duplicate systems for data collection and storage

Easy access to data to all on-line users


Access data Wherever you are
DHIS 2 becomes a data centre for all stakeholders with access

Predefined analysis tools shared by all users


Reports one click away and user specific needs data analysis
Targeting different needs and skills
User-defined dashboards for quick overview of latest data
GIS interface for all the data
DHIS 2 as information provider
Data aggregation to any level or period
While data is collected and stored monthly by health facility, a report
can show quarterly or yearly values by any level in the hierarchy

Built in support for definition and calculation of indicators (coverage,


incidence rates etc.)
often referred to as “calculated indicators”
makes use of population and other denominator data already in the
system
All reports and analysis tools support indicators and allow for
powerful analysis and comparisons across areas and over time
In stead of looking only at raw numbers or doing manual calculations in
Excel
Many output formats are supported; html, pdf, excel, jasper reports
Fast reports due to separate and nightly updated data, that does all the
calculations in advance
