Dear all,

We need to use this email-list to write down all feedbacks on DHIS2 we
are getting from usersr; things that are not working, or could have
been better, and suggestions for improvements - new requirements etc.

All findings from supervisions need to be written down and sent to
everybody as well, also if it is not directly DHIS relevant, for
example if airtime credit is not coming, old Safaricom modems not
working, staff needs computer training etc.

We have set up this DHIS2-Kenya email list, but not many has used it
so far, but lets start!
First, just REPLY ALL on this email  - later you will get help to
register on th elist.

FEEDBACK Western:

1. Standard reports listing totals for OPD, immunisation, if we could
add one column for each level; level 2, 3, 4, 5. This requirement was
from Province. They wanted to assess services delivery by level. NOTE:
we need to register all facilities by level more consistently than
today.

2. Level 1 Community units: Community units are linked to facilities
and will be much more important shortly, so we need to prepare for
this new level. Nyanza is reporting that only one community can be
defined and registered per facility, while in reality, there can be
more than one per facility. This is lack of training we think, as it
was not a problem when we tried, but not many has entered community
units.

3. The report called Service delivery 105, important for the Annual
Operational Plans (AOP) at all levels;  district, province, national
(and soon also County) - it is a report giving all important targets
and measurements - from bed nets to malaria cases - in raw data for
each administrative level (aggregated at this level), and, since there
are target populations linked to each administrative area, indicators
are derived from this report. But the report itself is containing only
numbers (data elements).
The report is including a subset of all data elements, I think all of
which already in DHIS, so we need to generate this report in a nice
and easy way.
It is an output report, not input report - as most people refer to it
as. Because previously they filled in the aggregates based on other
reports.

They say; remained yellow a long time - so maybe only due to poor
connectivity (and not being saved).

4. A bug on the DPT1 - DPT3 dropout rate graph report. When trying for
a month without data fro Bungoma North - for April, and a facility
that had not entered data had minus 5000% dropout!

5. A more general observation; many users get stuck because of poor
computer knowledge, so training in this area would also be needed

6. Local area network in hospitals - we only observed it one place.
Check how this is progressing also other places, as it is a policy for
hospitals.

7. District users are now managing to assign new users (for
facilities). So this is working.

This is all for now. We are now ready for Nyanza province.

This was an example, we all need to be quick in reporting back to the
development team!
