Hi all,

 

I would like views on what I perceive to be a bug in DHIS2 that Data
Approval Workflow does not respect/adhere to Dataset/Orgunit assignment.
I'll paint the scenario: 

 

An integrated HIS reporting system where different facility types report on
data elements applicable to them so the Orgunit and Dataset assigned could
look something like this: 

 


Country

 

 

 

Dataset assigned

Workflow period


 

Region 1

 

 

 

 


 

 

District 1

 

 

 


 

 

 

Clinic A

PHC dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Community Health Centre B

PHC dataset + Delivery dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Hospital C

Hospital dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Community outreach D

Community Dataset

Monthly


 

 

 

Emergency Service E

EMS dataset

Monthly

 

 

If you set up a workflow for e.g. PHC dataset - Monthly you have to let the
Manager of not only Clinic A and Community Health Centre B approve that
dataset BUT also Hospital C, Community Outreach D and Emergency Service E
while they DON'T REPORT and are not assigned to that dataset. If they don't
all approve the same workflow then District 1 cannot approve the dataset. 

 

Yes, it is possible to create one overall dataset which everyone then
approves but it looks very "dirty" because most of the signoff report is
elements they should not report on thus blank and it is not easy for them to
identify the REAL GAPS which they should have reported on if >50% of the
form is blank and it is too long. 

 

What would it take to attach the data approval to the Dataset>Orgunit
Assignment that is done for data entry thus only requiring approval at lower
level if that orgunit is assigned to the dataset. If that is done then only
Clinic A and Community Health Centre B would be assigned to the workflow and
be required to approve before District 1 can approve. I would appreciate
some feedback and prepared to write a blueprint for it if required. 

                              

                                             

Regards,
