For example, the aggregate report will show that 300 pregnant women registered for ANC and 120 women given IFA tablets or 90 women given TT injection. In an aggregate system, it is not possible to ascertain that if a particular pregnant woman registered for ANC, has also been given IFA and TT, as data only shows aggregate numbers. To understand the quality of services given to each pregnant woman registered for ANC, immunization cycle of each child or treatment of each leprosy person, etc. it is important that treatment information of each person is maintained as an individual case. The DHIS tracker module ( also known as DHIS Community Module ) is an integrated module in DHIS2, built to support community health systems and facilitate a smooth integration between the community health data and aggregated data management. The module supports management of community health programs, such as child immunization, maternal health and e.g. allows tracking of individuals enrolled in various programs and activity planning for community health workers. @@ -34,7 +38,7 @@ Support the work practices around tracking persons within a health program. - Advantages of tracker module - + Advantages of tracker module Facilitate the health service provider in person's treatment follow-up by recording all treatment related information in one place and in effective monitoring of different health services and drill down to individual person information. @@ -55,7 +59,7 @@ The data in primary registers at sub-center level is recorded and maintained by individual data or treatment cases, and sent up-wards as aggregate reports.
