Hi,
For data that is reported/collected on a weekly basis, we have a requirement to use Epidemiology weeks. I wanted to know how the weeks are calculated in DHIS2. Please point me to any documentation around the logic for calculating the weeks.
Thanks,
Shantala
Hi Shantala,
The weeks are calculated according to the ISO 8601 time and date standard.
This generally means weeks start on Monday and end on Sunday.

We have actually accommodated other weeks (eg Wed to Tue) in Cambodia, but this code is not yet part of the core.

Sure. The requirement is to have data collection done weekly with the week being an Epi week (epidemiology week), having week start date of Sunday and end date of Saturday.

Hi Shantala,
As Knut’s email alludes to , along the article which you shared hints at, there may be different definitions of what an “Epi Week” actually is.
It is therefore that DHIS2 has adopted the ISO standard definition, which can be determined with precision, due to the rigor of its definition.
In your case, is you requirement that your week begins on Sunday instead of Monday, with the first week being determined by the “The first epi week of the year ends, by definition, on the first Saturday of January, as long as it falls at least four days into the month”?
A question to the developers…would it be possible to support a “user defined period type”, which would require that users create their own start/enddates? I realize that this would create problems for the offline features of DHIS2, but this requirement, along with similar ones in countries which do not use the Gregorian calendar, point to the need for something more flexible than what we currently have.

Jason

Yes, it would be great if the week numbers in a year and start & end days can be made configurable. I will wait to hear from this group on whether this is possible.

I’d like to know why when I generates the report on the validation data on the period column, she has dual display? if medium, can you review that?

A question to the developers...would it be possible to support a "user

It is definitely possible (as with most things) and could be done. But it
will require a significant development effort, since dhis is currently
based on periods being generated in memory and persisted when needed. I do
understand the need for it and we are hearing it from multiple sources now.

Hi Carlos,
this was a problem with translations of the period keys. Its been fixed in 2.14 and development version.

My thought on this was that the periods for user define periods would never be generated and they would only be available when users are able to contact the server. It would be up to implementers to define all required future and past periods. I guess we will never be able to cater to all requirements in terms of the periods which may be required. I am also thinking of the requirements from Nepal, where there is really no easy to to calculate the periods at all (algorithmically) but there are lists of Nepali months available for the next 20 years or so, which could be easily enough converted into DHIS2 type periods (startdate/enddate).
