Hi Johan,
This is great in tracking LMIS commodities using DHIS, Is it also
possible to have an sms alert if you are out of stock using the tracker ?

Hi,
DHIS can support LMIS in a number of ways. My experience is that there
are few, if any, specialized LMIS software that fits all needs and
circumstances, and that DHIS can play a useful role here. Like William
says, it is possible to use the Tracker module to literally track
commodities. This is sometimes needed for the supply chain, to make sure
the right commodities reach the right place, and keep track of
additional data related to each item (expiry date, driver/vehicle etc).
However, for most facilities, the main functionality of LMIS is to keep
a regular inventory, from which you can have either a pull (facilities
order needed commodities) or push (higher levels determine amount to be
distributed) system. For this, the regular, routine reporting of DHIS is
very suitable. I know it is used for both very simple monthly reporting
of stock-outs (a yes/no question), and a more comprehensive inventory
list of "start balance", "dispensed", "wasted", "requisition", etc. The
benefit of using DHIS for this is that is it is online and simple to use
if users are already familiar with it, and it does not need additional
infrastructure. This applies to both facility users and those in charge
of setting up and maintaining the system. At national level warehouses,
the requirements are typically much wider, such as related to finances,
distribution management etc, but the available software solutions here
are both expensive and complex. It is thus common to support an LMIS
with both a "heavy" warehouse software and a "light" inventory software.
If DHIS is already established in a country, I would recommend using
this for the "light" facility reporting, from which the national
warehouse can get the routine requisitions and keep track of wastage and
stock-out rates.
Mind that there are many more arguments for and against, and many local
constellations of systems and organizations. But my short answer would
be that DHIS is very well suited for facility inventory reporting, from
which both requisition/ordering and management indicators can be
derived. With some more information on what is needed, I'm sure we will
be able to give clearer advice on how to set it up.
Regards,
Johan

Hi Gerald,
What I’m saying is that DHIS2 is an optimized a data reporting tool , it
can be used to track inventory of some drugs through its tracker module,
but it is not optimized if you want to manage all your drugs. You can
use it to track some drugs stocks but not a very large amount of
products and you can’t know your stock intantly,
Regarding medication management (For exemple these operation like
selling directly products to persons for example, making a stock
transfer to another facility, making inventory and adjustment of your
inventory... ), it is difficult to do in my opinion.
The alternative you have, is just to use software optimized on drugs
stock managements and then make a bridge with DHIS2. In BURKINA FASO, we
use a software named CHANNEL2 to manage our drugs and DHIS2 for
reporting,aggregating data, making chart or using pivot module. Our team
is working on a solution to brige easily the two software.

Bonjour Narodar,
je vois que tu as des questions sur DHIS2, pour ce qui concerne
tes questions, saches que DHIS2 est d'abord un outil de rapportage
des données, il peut être utilisé pour le suivi des stocks de
certains produits à travers son module tracker, mais ce n'est pas
optimisé. Tu peux l'utiliser pour le suivi des produits traceurs par
exemple mais pas d'une très grande quantité de produits,
Pour ce qui concerne la gestion des médicaments (achat vente au
client par exemple, transfert de stock, inventaire et ajustement de
stock...), il est difficile de le faire à mon avis.
L'alternative que tu as, c'est tout simplement l'utilisation de
logiciels de gestions de stock des médicaments et la mise en place
d'un pont qui permette de les mettre sur DHIS2 (Exemple gestion de
stock = CHANNEL, Outil d'aide à la décision=DHIS2) et tu les relie
de sorte à ce que les données de CHANNEL alimentent directement la
base de données de DHIS2. Ainsi, tu verra la puissance de DHIS2.

Hi all,
I've just want to know if somebody has an experience using DHIS2 as
LMIS to manage heath products/commodities in a repository?
