Hi all – I’m so sorry if this is a dumb question – but if a child is registered to the CRVS and a unique ID is assigned by the national authority – is this ID# persisted across all programmes (including the immunization programme) as a “golden thread” for this child?
Thanks so much,
Derek

Hello, is this tracker to be used at point of care (in front of the patient during consultation), or to be encoded at the end of the day? Thanks.

Hi Vini! This program is optimized to support a point of care workflow with built-in decision support (such as warnings, etc), but it also can be used for “end of day” data entry. The DHIS2 metadata package is designed to be flexible and countries may adopt into the workflow that is best suited to their context. It could also be a hybrid where some facilities are able to use the EIR at point of care, while others may not. The same package can be used.

Hi Derek, great question. Indeed if a child is registered into the CRVS and already has a Unique ID from the national authority, this can be added to the child’s record (the “tracked entity attribute” in DHIS2 terms) and this will persist across programmes. In the case that the child is registered first in the EIR and later receives a national ID, their record can be update to include this information. Since many countries maintain multiple levels and types of identifiers (e.g. health facility identifiers, programme identifiers specific to EPI, or national identifiers) these can all be attached to the child’s record as appropriate, and persist across programmes depending on the configuration. In this way, DHIS2 Tracked Entity Attributes can be used to accommodate multiple identifiers.

Hi again – and (again) sorry if this is obvious to everyone but me – but will the blocker work across all the DHIS2 programmes (e.g. all persons registered across all programmes), or are we only looking for blockers (duplicates) on a single programme?
Thanks and warmest regards,
Derek
PS: sorry for all the apologies… I’m Canadian. :blush:

Hi Derek, no worries! If by the “blocker” you mean, “must it be unique across all programmes”, the answer is yes, the attribute can be configured to be unique to the system, and thus cannot be duplicated regardless of which programme. The system will block you from duplicating that ID if it is configured to be unique in the system. Did I understand the question right?

Thanks so much, Rebecca – and howdy neighbour! :slightly_smiling_face:
I saw that the blocker was looking for duplicates based on name. Is that test against same-name across all programmes??

Hi… sorry for so many questions… but I didn’t notice that the vaccine batch# was logged at the time of the transaction. Did I miss it (or is it entered somewhere else)?
Thanks so much for this really great demo. :+1:
Warmest regards,
Derek
