Gerald, I would not recommend using the standard HMIS for school health - it would give you minimal control and reporting capabilities per school.
In South Africa, school health is captured into a separate DHIS2 database where the hierarchy ends with schools and not health facilities (although each school might store a reference health facility, of course). All the ~30,000 schools in the country is part of that orghierarchy, and we generally try to get annual data for the number of learners (pupils) per grade, which you can then use as denominator data to get coverage indicators. You COULD of course add the schools into the HMIS orghierarchy, but IMHO that is rather messy - better to use a separate database Regards Calle On 15 November 2017 at 08:30, gerald thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > I created a Teenage Pregnancy dataSet whose data should be captured > from schools.
