Dear DHIS2 community, looking for good ideas for a use case which is a bit unusual.
We'd like to map epidemic outbreaks, and the data are very simple: Outbreak or not, in other words, Yes/No per orgunit (a province or district). Perhaps Yes Only would be best here? The tricky part is the time dimension: We need to produdce maps of affected districts at regular intervals, at least monthly, possibly also more frequent. However, there is a lot of diversity in the data: Sometimes we have a start and end date, sometimes just a number of months. Currently, DHIS2 does not support one screen for multiple periods I see two possibilities: 1) Create just one dataelement "Outbreak" as Yes Only in a monthly dataset. Then one would have to select every affected month and say YES 2) Create two additional data elements: "Start date" and "End date" in a YEARLY dataset. Then also write a script behind the scenes which populates the Outbreak dataelement for the affected months - or even extend it to days Better ideas? -- Knut Staring Dept. of Informatics, University of Oslo +4791880522 http://dhis2.org
