Hi COP,
I am looking for a template or suggestions as how to evaluate a DHIS2 database (aggregate) specifically for Public/Population Health.
What should be evaluated?
An example is for immunisation, all coverage indicators and relevant drop out indicators should be calculated correctly
Nutrition, RMNACH, NCDs, HIV/TB indicators etc would all be included
What else is missing from this type of evaluation?
Thanks

Hi Norah!
Thank you for this post which could be a start for a great resource for the community! Asking the correct questions before design and implementation saves projects a lot of debugging and errors in the long run.
While I couldn’t find specific documentation that covers this entirely, I have some ideas:
- Triaging to the team (@jason, @Olav, @AnneThorseng, @Shurajit_Dutta, @brian, @Stefano, and @Rebecca)
for their insights - A while ago @jthomas posted Looking for Health Information Systems Assessment Templates and Anne replied about the DHIS2 Maturity framework, so maybe this could be helpful?
- From the field, we have had community members point to maturity and evaluation in their implementation posts, so I will tag them here to see if anyone would like to provide their insights (@Birkinesh, @Tigabu, @vincentmasoo, @airaoje, @Lilian_Mkonyi - everyone else in the CoP are welcome to chip in with their insights or questions, thanks!)
- I know you probably had a look at the docs, so I’m wondering what in this ‘Metadata Assessment Manual’ section is covered and what might still need to be covered?
I hope this will give this topic a little push. Thank you!
