Hi,
We would like to use the tracker to register disease surveillance events. Those will be events about a particular case happening (example Measles), which is reported from a health facility. The form contains information about the case (patient information, demographics, date, location).
Registration management is not be needed since those are one time events.
A multi step workflow would be helpful, for example to track the deployment of a field investigation team or the confirmation of a sample at a lab.
According to the documentation in http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/user/html/ch29s02.html#program I am not sure it is even possible to use tracker with no registration but have multiple stages.
Any ideas if tracker is the right approach? Alternatively we could use the events module, but I am not sure whether it is recommended at this stage. We will most likely use the Android apps as well.
Best,
Nils
Dear Nils,
Thanks.
I would suggest that you use an Event with registration if you are going to achieve this “A multi step workflow would be helpful, for example to track the deployment of a field investigation team or the confirmation of a sample at a lab”. Otherwise an event with out registration would be sufficient though it will not support multiple stages.
This requirement is more similar to the Rwanda IDSR use case where cases are tracked, status of case is updated (referrals, died, etc), lab and lab results are also managed and tracked. The use case is implemented using the events with registration (multiple stages) for all notifiable diseases. There have been discussions with the DHIS2 core team to integrate most of the functionality within the core DHIS2 (thresholds, etc) and this is ongoing. Also there is an ongoing testing of reference metadata for Rwanda and other reference IDSR use cases which will be implemented on the reference system (similar to DHIS2 demo) for other IDSR implementations.
Thanks.
Alex
