Indicator to Report Only the Latest HIV Status in DHIS2

[mdengojr (Mauricio Inácio Dengo Júnior)]

I am facing an issue while configuring an indicator in a Tracker program in DHIS2. My goal is to create an indicator that reports only the latest HIV status for each beneficiary, considering that beneficiaries can have multiple visits during a quarter.
During a quarter, a beneficiary can have multiple visits where the HIV status is collected in repeatable program stage. This status can vary from negative to positive. I want to ensure that the indicator reports only the status from the most recent visit for each beneficiary.

Hi @mdengojr

There’s a perfect explanation by @Markus for a similar question.

@Markus

What you want might be acheived with an enrollment type program indicator. If you select “Enrollment” under “Analytics type” in the program indicator, the behavior of the indicator changes:
Each enrollment is only counted once, and only the latest event data will be used for each enrollment. You can read more about this in the documentation. There is also a presentation showing it a bit more visually:

Program indicators evaluation - event and enrollment - Google Slides

Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns!

What type of Analytics period boundaries should I use?

Hi again @mdengojr,

I think the selected fields seem to be the commonly used and since you’re not using offset, this seems like the most reasonable selection. I do recommend testing with dummy data such as on play.dhis2.org first and see if you’re getting the correct results and analysis.

Do you have any updates by now how this is working for you?

Thanks!

Hi @Gassim
Thanks for your tips. Despite the delay in loading the indicators, it worked for me this way.
