[Carl Leitner <litlfred@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the difficulties in getting iHRIS->DHIS2 reporting done is getting the UIDs of the right indicators (and disaggreagators).  Perhaps it would be nice to have WHO indicators easily installable to DHIS2 with fixed UIDs and disaggregated by gender.  

I know it’s not quite the intention for the apps, but perhaps we can do something with an app to install the metadata and perhaps a few sample graphs?

Cheers,
-carl

By "core" I mean it will only deal with actual HR resources including position, what they are licensed/authorised to do, and contact details. Things like continuous education, bursaries, payroll, etc are processed/managed by other systems. A major advantage of tight integration will be the ability to use DHIS2 communication and messages + user registration to communicate directly with health workers - in particular since health workers increasingly will be interacting directly with DHIS2 on a daily basis through (daily) capturing of routine data, disease notifications, various Tracker apps (browser or Android), etc.

>>> Your basic requirements seem very similar: your primary need is to track the workforce as an INPUT RESOURCE to health service delivery, and not to track salaries and CVs and health insurance and employment history and a bunch of other "personal" things. So you need to know WHO they are, where they actually work and with what (in what position), what they are able to do (mostly this relates to formal/legal practice licensing etc, but it could be expanded to include specialist knowledge about certain diseases etc), and how to contact them.
