Based on a two months' systems analysis of the health information system, a software for the processing of routine data has been developed in Kabarole District, Uganda (comp. figure 4). The software provides
functions for data entry and for simple calculations and presentations of the results. From a digitized district map, the health facilities can be selected for which the functions are to be applied (comp. figure 5).
Essential part of the software is a data base which allows an adaptation to changes of the district settings - e.g. a new version of a reporting form - without a disruption of the routine data flow (comp. figure 6). The actual code is not accessible for staff. Therefore changes are only possible within the wanted scope. (comp. [WAHSER (1995)]) |
