CHIS - Community-based surveillance (CBS)¶

1. Datasets¶

1.1. Configuration Summary¶

The aggregate CH - Community-based surveillance module includes:

1. A monthly dataset with key data elements for CBS
2. Core indicators for the dataset
3. A predefined “CH - Community-based surveillance” dashboard

It is recommended that the datasets get assigned to Organisation Units at the lowest level of the health system feasible for reporting data, such as Villages or any appropriate community demarcation according to the local context.

1.2. Data Elements¶

The table below summarizes the data elements present in the CBS module. The “Data elements groups” and “Datasets” columns will provide extra information on where the same DEs can be found in the other CHIS modules. This should facilitate the mapping of the package among all its modules and navigate the datasets while avoiding the collection and data entry of the same DEs in multiple locations. In this case, the CBS DEs are not shared with any other module.

All the DEs in the CBS module are used in the build up of indicators.

2. Datasets Details¶

2.1. CBS Dataset¶

The section is set to collect the information necessary to monitor the knowledge and reactivity of the community for alerts and events.

3. Validation Rules¶

The following validation rules have been set up for the CBS datasets:

4. Analytics and Indicators¶

Just as for the DEs, in the table below the column “Indicator Groups” provides information about whether the indicator is found in groups other than the CBS indicator group.

5. Dashboards¶

The module includes a predefined dashboard called “CH - Community-based surveillance”.

The predefined items analyse and visualize the main areas of the dataset, though the dashboard should be modified to better mirror the local activities.
