Re: How to Track a Patient across multiple org units for the same program

 

Hi Busoye,

If provided the authority to do so the user at the second facility can
search and find the person and open the person dashboard. There the user
can continue endring data for new stages in the same enrollment or enroll
into the program again (if the previous enrolment was completed).

By authority I refer to the authorities you can assign to user roles in
DHIS 2. On the phone now and can't look up the exact name of this
authority,  but think it's called something like 'Search Persons in all
facilities'.

There is also a 'Search Person in User facilities' that limit the search to
the subtree of the orgunit hierarchy the user can see (has been assigned),
if e.g the user is located at a district office supporting multiple
facilities or I guess at a hospital supporting multiple words.

Being able to track individuals over time AND across facilities (orgunits)
is supported and one of the key use cases for Tracker.
