Capturing data for a tracked entity for multiple orgunits

Elmarie_Claasen · 21 January 2015 04:15

Hi all,

My understanding is that a tracked entity is registered against a specific orgunit and that any tracker data captured for that entity is attributed to that orgunit. When you want to register data for the same tracked entity for another orgunit you need to move the client to the new orgunit (with the already captured data). Is it possible to support assigning specific programs to a tracked entity at multiple orgunits?

Scenario:

 Register pregnant women for antenatal visit at a clinic

 Delivery taking place at a hospital or centre doing deliveries

 Post-natal visits possibly done again at the clinic

 Immunisation for the baby at the clinic

One would not want to move the data captured for the tracked entity with the client as she moves through different service points but keep the data where the service was rendered.

Does anyone else have similar requirements to be able to track services for the same client at multiple orgunits?

Regards,

Hi Elmarie,
This is totally possible.

As long as the event is registered once in the system, the other orgunits can just search for the tracked entity to show that services were provided elsewhere.

For example: Clinic_1 registers tracked entity then Hospital_1 will search for tracked entity in the system and enter delivery data or other services provided.

See Image below:

The case scenario above is we have a program with 3 stages that is ANC, Delivery and PNC which makes it possible to track entities in the same program no matter which orgunit is rendering the service by searching using an attribute of the tracked entity in the entire system.

Hope this helps…
