"This build also include a new component in the DHIS CORE module related to the capture, storage, analysis and reporting of data related to internal and external support PROJECTS in health establishments. Up to now, there has been no system available providing data on the myriad of internal (DoH-funded) and external (donor- or NGO/Private funded) support projects found in the health sector. HISP will be providing initial training to provinces/districts on the use of this component in the coming weeks."
Knut ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Calle Hedberg <chedb...@telkomsa.net> Date: Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 2:31 PM Subject: DHIS 1.4 build 129 uploaded to Hispkerala To: dhi...@hisp.info Hi, DHIS 1.4 build 129 has been uploaded to Hispkerala. This build fulfils several functions: 1. It includes several bug fixes, in particular related to Data Entry of Quality Assurance data. An annoying bug in build 127 causing a number of data records with zero values to be inserted during data entry has also been fixed. Some functions like the importing of data is now faster than before, especially when importing very large XML/Text export files. 2. This build includes a new component in the DHIS CORE module related to the capture, storage, analysis and reporting of data from the "Core Standards and Measures" facility surveys. The "Core Standards and Measures" survey data sets were distributed to the Quality Improvement clusters in all SA provinces last week (then as build 128), and the data sets comprise nearly 600 data elements covering all aspects of facility norms and standards. The National Dept of Health intends to survey 25% of all facilities every year (i.e. a four-year cycle), but hospitals and PHC facilities can run the same survey as an internal audit for self-improvement purposes. 3. This build also include a new component in the DHIS CORE module related to the capture, storage, analysis and reporting of data related to internal and external support PROJECTS in health establishments. Up to now, there has been no system available providing data on the myriad of internal (DoH-funded) and external (donor- or NGO/Private funded) support projects found in the health sector. HISP will be providing initial training to provinces/districts on the use of this component in the coming weeks. Because of these new components, it is absolutely crucial that all existing DHIS users follow the standard procedure for implementing the new build: (a) Start the DHIS CORE module, and switch to the empty template data file (DHIS_#oo.mdb). Close the DHIS. (b) Download "DHIS140129_ModuleFiles.exe" or "DHIS140129_ModuleFiles.7z" and save it in your DHIS14 folder. (c) Extract the content of the module file, and say "yes to all" to overwrite your previous module files (note: this does NOT affect your data file) (d) Start the DHIS again, verify that you are now using build 129, and then switch back to your normal data file. If you get error messages during start-up or during data file switching about the table "Partner" missing, then you have NOT followed the procedure a->d above. Please also verify that the date/time setting on your PC is correct - I have come across several PCs recently with date/time settings in the future (2011, or even 2050) Finally, note that the release of this build is urgent due to those new components, so there's been no time to release a beta version first. From build 130, we aim at regularising the use of beta versions better, to allow Ministries/Departments of Health a two-weeks test period before the formal release of a new build.
