Abstract

Configurable software platforms, DHIS2 in particular, are useful tools for implementing nationwide solutions in health and other public sector problems in data management. The essence of this work is to indicate that the configuration and implementation of a DHIS2 use case in a collaborative environment with multiple practitioners utilizing and updating the same resources i.e. same data elements, program rule variables etc., is barely, if at all, supported by the platform. This paper further points out that this inability to support collaborative work leads to team member confusion, time constraints, errors in configurations (program rules), resource duplication and workload repetition. This work then proposes some workflows that could be implemented in external software to mitigate some of these challenges, which can then be imported into the DHIS2 platform as a supplement in those lacking areas
