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

>> This does not make sense - please provide more details
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.
>> Which report is this?
3. Body weight, the recent weight can’t be picked when you extract into excel, only displays previously entered weight.
>> Which report is this??
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.
>> Is this for retrospective entry or for point of care
5. The system doesn’t pick values for INH dosage and Days dispensed when extracted into excel.
>> What report is this? Inbuilt or Cohort builder? If inbuilt what concept ID did you use for these
6. The system doesn’t pick values for TB Treatment start date when extracted into excel.
>> Is this an inbuilt report or cohort builder? If inbuilt what concept ID did you use for these
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.
>> Is this an inbuilt report as DSDM models are programs not concepts
8. The system allows more entries (encounters) even when a client is transferred out.
>> Noted we shall show an error in case a patient is transferred out and not transferred back in
9. It doesn’t pick values for breast feeding women.
>> Which concept are you using?

Thanks for responses.
Additionally on reports
1. in built Missed appointments reports bring clients who returned after some time but had not kept their appointment in the period. hence i think you may consider building these reports using the most recent return visits, since its creates confusion when you run a report and a counsellor sees that these clients had returned
2. in built TX_ML, some parts are not giving write information(especially missed appointments)
3. TX_CURR. the inbuilt reports leave out some active clients and now that we are giving refills upto six months, i think we need to change the definition from use of encounters to return visits.

>> If you filter the Missed Appointment Report by those patients who do not have a return visit date, then you will get patients who did not return. You can also look at the Lost and Lost to Followup reports
2. in built TX_ML, some parts are not giving write information(especially missed appointments)
>> Chris, we shall need more details, month, numbers, a sample report as this is not sufficient information. There is a team currently in Kabarole, so they will contact you for a site visit to get more details
3. TX_CURR. the inbuilt reports leave out some active clients and now that we are giving refills upto six months, i think we need to change the definition from use of encounters to return visits.
>> This report caters for long refills, so we shall need to look further into your data, do expect a call from the team currently in Kabarole

Hello Mr stev,I normally run queries using Cohort builder export, i have not yet tried automated reports , i prefer doing it manual because all the previous versions automated reports used to give vering results , so i prefer cohort build especially if the i can assess concept IDs and names from the dictionary.thanx boss

>> The purpose of the missed appoint report is for any patient who did not come for their appointment within 7 days of the scheduled date, those who came later have an encounter date shown, which shows whether they were lost or LTFU. The counselors should only focus on those patients without a return visit date. This report can also be run for a past date (say a month ago)
2. in built TX_ML, some parts are not giving write information(especially missed appointments)
