[WISCENTDs] : Logical indicators

Dear all,

I have one DataElement in a DataSet which is the population, and another DE in a Program which is the endemicity of a disease (Yes/No).

I would like to calculate an indicator which is the population at risk, i.e. the population living in an org unit where endemicity is “Yes”.

Is there a way of programming this kind of indicator?

Thanks

Lise.

Hi Lise
You can create program indicator by counting yes value.

After that, create a indicator and keep aggregate data eelement as denominator and program indicator as numerator.

Feel free to ask for detail.

Hi Lise,

currently I think your best option is to create an org unit group set, with groups for endemic/not endemic, then classify your org units accordingly. The downside is that it does not provide a time dimension/ability to keep changes in status.

This is a popular requirement and something we probably should support in a better way.

regards,

Lars

Thanks Lars. I will open a JIRA then. :wink:

I was thinking about the org unit group, but then indeed there is a mandatory intermediate step that has to be done by the admin of the instance which is, when a country submit his endemicity data, the admin has to create the org unit group accordingly, which is not as immediate as we would have liked it to be. Unless we could write a script that assign org units with “Yes” to an org unit group. We will look into this. If someone has already written such a script, happy to receive it. J

Best

Lise.
