I am sitting in Eritrea creating a new database with David Hagan … they have a wonderful set of indicators that conforms 90% to the international norms set by WHO …
To create the indicators I now have to type out 100 indicators by hand … a few days work for me!!
Can anyone help me with a SIMPLE way to get these indicators from another place where they have already been properly defined??
many Thanks
Arthur

sorry, no indicators from my side. I’d just like to use the occasion to advocate again the idea of maintaining a content repository for DHIS2, which would have been handy in your case:

Just thinking …

If you haven’t done this already, attached is an excel template that you can use to transform your indicator list into fields that can be imported into the DHIS-2 indicator table. I’ve left a couple of sample rows for you to see what the content should be like. Note that after you have imported the list, you still need to make sure that all of the data elements needed are in the system and then create the correct formulas for numerators and denominators manually.
The current CSV import doesn’t support importing indicators, but if you have access to the backend in Postgres it would be pretty easy to import these with a small SQL script that also assigns uid and indicatorid fields automatically.

sorry, this got cut off by the web-mailer - next try:
Wouldn't it be good to have a repository of standard and best practice indicators, data elements, classifications and data-sets per health-program as down-loadable packages for easy import into a fresh DHIS2 installation? In my maybe naive thinking this would only mean to export them from an existing installation, zipping and uploading them to the repository.
Advantages:
- best practice templates of useful indicator sets
- faster implementation of new instances
- more compatible data-elements and indicators in the source-systems when approaching a supra-national HMIS, if the source installations were build upon standard indicators.
