Gerald,

I would not recommend using the standard HMIS for school health - it would
give you minimal control and reporting capabilities per school.

In South Africa, school health is captured into a separate DHIS2 database
where the hierarchy ends with schools and not health facilities (although
each school might store a reference health facility, of course). All the
~30,000 schools in the country is part of that orghierarchy, and we
generally try to get annual data for the number of learners (pupils) per
grade, which you can then use as denominator data to get coverage
indicators.

You COULD of course add the schools into the HMIS orghierarchy, but IMHO
that is rather messy - better to use a separate database

Regards
Calle
