HISP Bangladesh is a member of Global HISP community have been collaborating with University of Oslo and other country HISP communities to organize global and regional DHIS2 academies from the beginning. With the increase of demand of DHIS2 related capacity building due to evaluation of scale and quantity of DHIS2 implementation in Bangladesh by Government and other organization working in development arena, HISP Bangladesh with University of Oslo organized DHIS2 regional academy in 2018 and 2019. Physical DHIS2 academy has been dropped in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 pandemic restriction. To meet the country capacity building demand, HISP Bangladesh have organized several online and offline training, capacity building and on the job facilitation to support special need due to long duration gap of in-person academy after 2019 and additional need from COVID-19 and FDMN response. HISP Bangladesh is going to organize a specialized country academy for Bangladesh to meet the in-country demand of DHIS2 related capacity building from different organizations, stakeholders, partners and individuals.
The DHIS2 Country Academy is a specialized course that will cover the basic concepts of designing, collecting, analyzing, and performing preliminary administration on aggregate, event and case-based data with a focus on country need. Through a blending of lecture and hands-on training, participants will learn how to customize DHIS2 for aggregated, tracking and event-based programs for both on web and android, configuring software to support routine, surveys, and longitudinal/programmatic tracking of beneficiaries/commodities. Course covers aspects of DHIS2 feature set supporting event (encounter) and patient/other entity tracking data. Participants will be introduced to concepts of designing, collecting, analyzing, and performing preliminary administration on event and case-based data through a mix of lectures and exercises.
We are expecting professionals/staffs from organizations and their partners working in health, nutrition, food security, WaSH, education, humanitarian, multisectoral approach and other development arena to join us for these five days country specialized training on DHIS2. The following broad themes will be part of this academy:
Understanding the information cycle, the hierarchy of standards, knowledge of different health and other program like Immunization, Maternal and child health program, non-communicable disease program, Nutrition program, School program etc.
DHIS2 design principle, and core practice on DHIS2 customization; Good practices for tidy databases and data quality; Create, administer and maintain the organization and hierarchy, data elements with categories, data sets, indicators, validation rules and standard deviation analysis; Perform detailed user management with roles & authorities; Preparing for data analysis, Data elements and indicators, Data collection, data quality and visualization, Data sharing and dashboards. Ultimately goal to develop a complete aggregated dataset design for data collection
Understanding the individual beneficiary based, event and tracker related concept and terminology, tracker functionality and data model in DHIS2. It will introduce the knowledge on individual case-based data recording functionality, morbidity and mortality related events, survey design, maternal health, child health, immunization, chronic and acute patient including non-communicable diseases tracking, logistic tracking etc.
Event and Tracker design principle, and its customization on DHIS2; good practices for event/tracker program design; create and maintain the event and tracker base program, event data elements with option sets, program design with staging concept, program rules with different skip logics, program indicators, sharing setting etc. Ultimate goal to build capacity of participants to design complete event and tracker base software functionalities for collecting event data and tracking patient/other entities.
Customization of SMS, message, email in different level, such as SMS to patient/service receiver, service provider, frontline health worker, managers etc.
Using different real use-cases from the field implementation all over the country and beyond in contextual cases to discuss and demonstrate different program features as well as implementation successes, challenges and lesson learnt. Reviewing and documenting requirements of any DHIS2 systems and creating system in DHIS2 through the setup of DHIS2 aggregate, tracker and blending systems.
DHIS2 is continuously developing new functionalities based on requirement from all over the world. Understanding and configuring the new features that can be used to support current and upcoming requirement for the implementation of tracker in DHIS2 system.
Review of the methods that can be used in DHIS2 to support the output and analysis of data. Preparing for data analysis, event reports, event visualizer and GIS map etc.
Discussion on mechanisms of individual data protection, configuring confidentiality and user permission in different level, emergency management and auditing etc
Understanding and configuring the new features that can be used to support the implementation of DHIS2 system.
Discussion on mechanisms of developing integrated HIS system and its implementation. How to work with different community.
