Hi,

I just discovered a problem with the IPT1 coverage indicator.

It was using "New ANC clients" as denominator, and was also set to be an
annualised indicator. When using monthly service data as denominator, the
indicator cannot be annualised. As a consequence the monthly values where 12
times higher than the correct value, since annualised indicators are
multiplied by 12 for monthly values. That is why the IPT 1 coverage values
were so high compared to the other ANC coverage indicators.

The IPT 2 coverage indicator is using a different denominator, "Estimated
number of deliveries", which is an annual value from the census. In this
case it is correct to use "annualised".

For now I have changed the denominator of the IPT 1 coverage indicator to
also use "Estimated number of deliveries" as well, and to be annualised.

I think IPT 1 and 2 coverage indicators should both use the same kind of
denominator (either monthly value from service data or annual census value),
but not sure which one is better.

Wanjala, any comments on these formulas based on discussions in your
indicator meetings?

BTW, are the indicator formulas from that meeting (activity) finalised and
ready to be included in the DHIS?
