Dear all,

 

We have slowly been moving our internal reporting over to DHIS2. 

 

We are also looking at some of the external government-mandated forms - and
wondered if somebody could provide some advice.

 

We have an existing National Health Information System form that we would
like to transfer as is to electronic format. 

 

On a single form they have eight different ways of breaking up age related
data (for different data elements) 

 

 


0-1

1-4

5+

 

0-4

5-14

15+

0-1

1-4

0-4

5-16

17+

Under 5 

0-4

5-9

10-14

15-19

20-24

25-29

30-49

50+

 

 

 

 

Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions about an elegant way to
integrate such a cross-section into DHIS?

 

I've looked at creating separate age-related data elements - or at six
different data element categories - but both seem reasonably clunky.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Cheers

Dylan
