Karuri et al. 2014. DHIS2: The Tool to Improve Health Data Demand and Use in Kenya


Where is the role of DHIS2 mostly?

Essential Public Health management function

Concept of DHIS2
• Free and open source software (95% of cost is for capacity building, the
rest infrastructure)
• Datawarehouse approach with data from various sources (regular reports,
population data, map data)
• More likely to support health systems strengthening
• Improving data integration, rather than create new applications
• Promoting the use of data standards (data elements, indicators)
• The main benefit lies in the use of information for decision making
• Support the process flow of health data either vertically or horizontally
• Simplify scalability and sustainability of the information system
• DHIS2 is flexible according to local needs that can be controlled easily.

3 Dimension of DHIS2
• 3 dimension of DHIS 2 that describe data:

• where, related to the organisation unit
• when, related to periode of report
• what, related to data element which is collected

• All data values will at minimum have these 3 dimensions
