Dear All,
We are pleased to announce the availability of the Cold Chain Equipment Inventory (CCEI) module in DHIS2 and welcome interested individuals to visit and evaluate this new asset-tracking application.
Background
The CCEI module in DHIS2 is designed to support immunization programs to track core health facilities and cold chain equipments data to enable strategic (planning) and tactical (management) decision-making on the basis of key functional requirements identified by PATH while working for over five years with national immunization programs and their partners to use cold chain equipment inventory data and develop evidence-based multiyear equipment plans.
The module adheres to the draft CCEI Data Standard vetted globally in 2013 with cold chain experts through the UNICEF Cold Chain and Logistics Taskforce. Development of this module was led by the Cold Chain Equipment Inventories project at PATH in collaboration with University of Washington and with the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the terms of the HealthTech Cooperative Agreement # AID-OAA-A-11-00051.
CCEI module can be configured for other classes of fixed assets and is a flexible tool that can make collection, update and use of data easy which makes it ideal for monitoring, reporting, compiling and presenting information on cold chain functioning and vaccine stocks at service delivery points.
Key Features:
EquipmentTypes: User can define different asset types and the information that want to be collected such as Refrigerators, ColdBox, Mobiles etc
Model: User can also define common information of specific model for equipment, so that same information can be applicable for same type of equipments
Equipments: Equipments for different equipment types can be registered for particular facility/ Clinic
Repair/Maintenance: For each equipment user can keep track of equipment status information
AggregationBuilder: Equipment data can be converted into aggregated numbers using aggregation builder. Once the data is converted into aggregated numbers then we can use all DHIS analysis tools - Visualiser, GIS, Pivot Tables etc
···
Build Model:
CCEI is created as a separate project which is dependent on dhis core stable (2.14) and can be built separately. CCEI project is located at https://launchpad.net/dhis2-ccei.
Resources:
You may download latest CCEI war file from downloads, also for quick start you may download demo postgres backup file. You can find documentation for CCEI here.
You may join CCEI Launchpad group and subscribe to dhis2-ccei-devs@lists.launchpad.net mailing list to discuss in the forum.
We appreciate feedback and active participation from all of our DHIS users.
