Direct tallying into DHIS installation

Dear all,

We are currently looking at ways of reducing data transfers (i.e. paper to DHIS).

Has anyone ever set up a DHIS installation where data was entered “live” i.e. staff use a DHIS-generated form like a tally sheet (entering data as they see patients). I do not mean in the sense of entering into a name based record – but an actual tally sheet style form (to match their existing paper ones) that is then uploaded at end of day and aggregated into the monthly report.

If you have done this – would appreciate any insights/tips.

Regards

Dylan Tovey

It is subject to discussion as people will just sit down and make tallies which may not be according to the primary records which are meant for data verification.
