[mwanguhya chris]

Thanx Mr Lubwama for your visit and support  upon the gaps i had identified with the latest EMR ver 3.0.4 as mentioned in the previous email, all were fixed except no.4 which you promised to fix some other time.

NB: All queries in Green color were fixed except no.4 in yellow.

Thanx

Dear METS,

On behalf of UGANDA EMR end users (Data officers and M&Es), I appreciate the innovation for the latest UGANDA EMR ver. 3.0.4 and its new features especially where all forms are in portions (Tabs) which helps us as entrants to be more focused per Tab, the system can now accommodate TPT Status, (TPT Date initiated, completion and side effects) which the previous version never used to capture and much more new features.

However, there are few gaps that need adjustment. At Kabarole Hospital, UGANDA EMR runs on Linux (Ubuntu) and there few concepts that doesn’t work:-

1.      Concept Dictionary for, HMIS 003 HIV Care ART Card-Clinical Assessment.

2.      Transfer out, it allows clients to be transferred out but when you run the query, outcomes for the newly transferred are not displayed into excel, only displays previously transferred.

3.      Body weight, the recent weight can’t be picked when you extract into excel, only displays previously entered weight.

4.      The system erases some entries i.e let’s say you entered:-TPT date initiated, TPT Pills & number of days dispensed, CPT number of pills & days dispensed, Regimen Pills & number of days dispensed i.e after entries into encounter forms and saved, when you open the same encounters there are no values in those mentioned fields.

5.      The system doesn’t pick values for  INH dosage and Days dispensed when extracted into excel.

6.      The system doesn’t pick values for  TB Treatment start date  when extracted into excel.

7.      The system doesn’t pick DSDM models, and it displays different models into separate columns in excel ie displaying each model as a table heading in excel sheet.

8.      The system allows more entries (encounters) even when a client is transferred out.

9.      It doesn’t pick values for breast feeding women.

 

Check the attached excel sheet with few clients details to compare the said few gaps.

 

Thanx
