Custom data entry form for hospital patient registers

Support - Assistance technique
1

Thanks Kumar..i must have been missing stuffs out then...but i checked again and i couldnt see more than Number/Text/Yes*No/Date
for the patientAttribute. I cant see the predefined and others you mentioned. Its possible i m not patient please can you point me to
it???
I tried changing the dataDictionary setting to "extended" and the listItem is still Number/Text/Yes*No.

Do you have an instruction on how to CustomScreenDesign with Javascript?...however small it is i appreciate.
Thanks kumar...waiting.

I have tried to use the patient management as shown below. These are
my challenges
1.There are quite a number of option items on the form. I know DHIS2
has Yes/No but not custom listItem.
I am not sure i understood correct, but for PatientAttribute can be
Number/Date/Text/Bool/Predifined.
Here Predefined means dropdownlist with user defined options, for
ex:- Say Sex is attribute and Male,Female are options.

Similarly for DataElements also we can create Multi-Dimensional Text
Dataelement with user defined options.
2.There are no action attached to yes or no. like i need to
display some form fields/controls if i select yes or no. I know this
involves real programming.

May be this can be done using CustomScreenDesign with Javascript
Methods
3.I need to aggregate the register into the summary form.
Whats your advise on these???

Hi there. I have come up against a similar issue in Tajkistan, where there is a need to record primary and final diagnosis for a patient. I must admit, that I do not feel DHIS2 is the correct tool for this. Ideally, there would be a single data element for each, and a dropdown list of pre-defined diagnosis codes. In this case, they are using ICD-10 codes, which presents a major challenge for a single dropdown list, as there could be thousands.

I personally have my reservations about using the named-based records module, as it stands, for this situation at this point. I think it will work well for pre-defined programs.We have had discussions here in Zambia with a major NGO on the use of DHIS2 for the male circumcision program. In this case, I think it works pretty well, as you know what the data elements are, and the mapping between cased based data and aggregate level data is pretty straightforward. Ideally, you would like to have a single data element in the patient based module, which would then map to some aggregate data element, rather than having 10,000 different data elements for each ICD10 code, in the form of a yes-no box. For instance, the ICD-10 codes for TB occupy the range between A15-A19. There are numerous sub-codes as well. Typically, all of these might get mapped to a single aggregate data element, for instance (“Number of cases of tuberculosis”) and be of course disaggregated by other dimensions such as age, gender, etc. As far tell, the current functionality of the named-based records in DHIS will not easily support this workflow. Perhaps Bharath could comment on how it could be done. This sounds like a similar problem you are experiencing.

Anyway, our plan in Tajikistan is to keep the existing patient based system, which is essentially an electronic medical records system, and have it aggregate the data into aggregate data elements, which will then be passed upwards from facility to district level. This ensures that any confidential patient data stays in the facility.

Not sure if this helps, but I just wanted to highlight what I feel are some of the current limitations of the named- based records system. This may be based on my limited understanding of it however, which hopefully the documentation will clear up.

Best regards,
Jason

I think they are working on it, and I will help Bharath with the

Dear Team,

I have the following concerns.

  1. I need to develop a custom data entry form from a register

having

patient detail like patient’s name, patient’s address,

etc

At this moment there is no CustomDataEntryForm Design for

Patient

Registration. You can design custom screen for

Program/ProgramStages.

  1. I need dhis2 to aggregate these patients counts into a

summary

form which will be aggregate up the hierarchy.

Very Basic AggregationEngine is developed but need lot more work

left. Will try to prepare some documentation with screenshots

how

to

use aggregation engine, will send.

  1. Why don’t we have count in the list of the aggregation

operator. I have Sum, Average

  1. Can i use custom data entry page to create a register

records?

I have tried the following

  1. Created the custom form using the data entry create form

wizard.

Its not just realistic here. Foreach patient’s attributes i

will

have a data element and depending on the number of patients, it

will

be a multiple of the available attributes which will run into

millions of DE and its not just manageable. I know the the above

is

used to create summary forms.

  1. So i decided to use the patient’s management modules,

EVEN

though i cannot achieve a custom layout as it appears on the

form,

i

could use the additional attributes to create more patients

attributes.

So then

  1. How do i do a count of the information on the register and

get

it

appear in the cell of a custom data entry without the user

manually entering the values over a period.

For example on my register i have columns like 1. Name of

client,address of client,fever cases reported within 24hrs,RDT

done

under

five.

On my summary form i need the following to be auto calculate

  1. The number of client registered
  1. Number reported for fever cases under five
  1. etc

I will appreciate any assistance asap.

Thank you.
