Re: DHIS-2 for child death audit forms

 

Hi,
not aware of any child death audit forms, but in Uganda they are working on a maternal death audit. 

There are actually three separate supported use cases. As you say, the first is for programmes with multiple cases. There is also the option of choosing the "Single Event" option when creating a programme, which will create a programme for a single event. Finally, you can choose "Single event" and "Anonymous", which will create a programme that does not require registration of beneficiaries before data entry. Although the name is "anonymous", nothing prevents you from creating a data element for name etc, but it is not linked to a beneficiary. In Ghana, the "anonymous" events are used for registering deliveries and in-patient cases for example.

I guess in you cases, either a single event programme (with beneficiary registration) or single event anonymous is what you are looking for. 

Agree that beneficiary is not the best name for a dead child, and it's actually decided to change "Beneficiary" to "Person" throughout DHIS.

> Has anyone used DHIS-2 to enter child death audit forms?  We’re working on this in Rwanda and thought we would check on other country experiences first.  We planned to use the name-based data entry for individual records, but it seems like calling deceased children ‘beneficiaries’ is a bit drole.  They are not enrolled in a program for multiple contacts, which seems to be the purpose of the name-based data entry module.
