DHIS 2 Cold Chain Equipment Inventory System is Released

 

Dear All,


We are pleased to announce the availability of the Cold Chain Equipment
Inventory (CCEI) module in DHIS2 and welcome interested individuals to visit
<https://www.dhis2.org/downloads> and evaluate this new asset-tracking
application.


*Background *


The CCEI module in DHIS2 is designed to support immunization programs to
track core health facilities and cold chain equipments data to enable
strategic (planning) and tactical (management) decision-making on the basis
of key functional requirements identified by PATH while working for over
five years with national immunization programs and their partners to use
cold chain equipment inventory data and develop evidence-based multiyear
equipment plans.


The module adheres to the draft CCEI Data Standard vetted globally in 2013
with cold chain experts through the UNICEF Cold Chain and Logistics
Taskforce. Development of this module was led by the Cold Chain Equipment
Inventories project at PATH in collaboration with University of Washington
and with the generous support of the American people through the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the terms of the
HealthTech Cooperative Agreement # AID-OAA-A-11-00051.


CCEI module can be configured for other classes of fixed assets and is a
flexible tool that can make collection, update and use of data easy which
makes it ideal for monitoring, reporting, compiling and presenting
information on cold chain functioning and vaccine stocks at service
delivery points.


*Key Features:*


*EquipmentTypes*: User can define different asset types and the information
that want to be collected such as Refrigerators, ColdBox, Mobiles etc


*Model*: User can also define common information of specific model for
equipment, so that same information can be applicable for same type of
equipments


*Equipments*: Equipments for different equipment types can be registered
for particular facility/ Clinic


*Repair/Maintenance*: For each equipment user can keep track of equipment
status information


*AggregationBuilder*: Equipment data can be converted into aggregated
numbers using aggregation builder. Once the data is converted into
aggregated numbers then we can use all DHIS analysis tools - Visualiser,
GIS, Pivot Tables etc



*Build Model:*

CCEI is created as a separate project which is dependent on dhis core
stable (2.14) and can be built separately. CCEI project is located at
