Re: Question about Data Completeness
Hi,
And this is where you can search the mailing list's archives:
http://n2.nabble.com/DHIS-developers-list-f1563109.html
Also note that there is built in functionality in DHIS to create
completeness reports based on the subjective option to set every data entry
to complete or not (there is a "Set as complete" button on the bottom of
each form). Under Reports there is a section on Completeness where you can
get reports based on this. I am not familiar with how this works in detail
though. Maybe Edem, Romain or Johan who have used this functionality in
Sierra Leone could explain? Or Lars Helge of course....
We've also had discussions and suggestions on more objective completeness
functionality, e.g. per data element, per data element group or per "set of
mandatory data elements".
Not sure what the status is on that right now. Maybe Lars could fill in.
