Hello, all –
We are getting ready to share our templates and tools for DHIS2 implementations, and we invite everyone to contribute their tools to the collection. My team at LogicalOutcomes is working with Steven Uggowitzer, David Hagan, Prosper Behumbiize’s team at HISP Uganda, and others to develop faster, easier ways to set up DHIS2.
We hope to enable NGOs to set up DHIS2 for their programs using a ‘Quick Start’ approach. Then they can expand it to more programs as they get comfortable with DHIS2. As a nonprofit consulting company, LogicalOutcomes will share all of our tools with the whole community and we invite you to use and adapt them.
We will begin posting templates in early 2016 on Github. The github repository is at Home · LogicalOutcomes/dhis2-templates Wiki · GitHub and you can see what we’re trying to do in this slide presentation at
https://zenodo.org/record/31995.
We plan to begin with configuration spreadsheets to help projects define requirements quickly and accurately. Then we will start developing templates for evidence-based indicators in areas outside health (such as financial security, education and settlement). We may also create project management tools that are customized for DHIS2 implementations – it depends on which projects we are hired for.
Are you willing to share your own DHIS2 tools, including planning and estimation calculators, apps that are not ready for the DHIS2 App Store, project management checklists, etc.? Or are there any tools you really need? If so, please contact me.
