Hi All, We are hoping to use DHIS2 to collect and report on data from poison information centres..
I'm guessing a lot fo these questions are answered in level one or above academies, but I'm in Australia and getting to the academies is pretty hard.. __ Tracker seems to be the best option as we want to collect dis-aggregated data that is connected to a case - I plan to use the Case as the identifier rather than the patient, as the patient details are not necessarily being collected in a consistent manner, but I have a robust case ID against each case. The challenge I have is in the details :) Enrolling a case seems logical, things like patient details, location of exposure, exposure details are all one time data elements, which might be corrected during a case, but are not going to need to be seen independently. The fun part starts in two areas 1. A case can consist of 1 or more contacts between the Poison Information Centre (PIC) and other parties - each contact would record the caller details and location - this seems like something I can record as part of the "program" against the case. Is this reasonable? 2. The Symptoms and treatment for a case may be added or modified during the case, so might be tied to the contact form, but the symptoms and treatment are very long lists and may contain one or more items from each list - should I keep these as lots of data boolean data elements, or as DEs with options? 3. The poisoning substance can be one or more "brand names" eg. panadol osteo, which actually consist of one or more "Centre Substances" - that is the actual toxic substance - I have no real idea how to record these against the program - help? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-users Post to : dhis2-users@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dhis2-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
