Discussion items

Stockout Projections

• In general, facilities want to ensure that they have at least one month's supply or more of every vaccine.
• Although we previously thought otherwise, there may be value in preserving and presenting historical stockout projections.
• Open Question: Stockout projections are based on the current stock, and this data presumably comes from SELV. However, SELV's data is reported a month (and occasionally two) after the fact. It seems as though even our most current stockout-projections will therefore be a month or two old. Are such projections nevertheless useful and actionable? 

Report Schedules

• SELV and DHIS-2 both follow a MoH standard described here, wherein reporting periods begin on the 20th, end on the 21st, and thereby span two Gregorian months. Every other report relevant to the PEV Dashboard uses the traditional calendar, wherein each period begins on the 1st of the month and ends on the last day of the same month. The original Excel-based version of the Dashboard reflects these differences. For example, users viewing "February" data which originates in SELV or DHIS-2 are shown information relevant to January 20th - February 21st. Meanwhile, users reviewing "February" data from a system like ColdTrace are presented information related to February 1st - February 28th. The new version of the Dashboard should behave the same way as the original version in this regard.

RED/REC

• While RED stands for "Reach every District," REC stands for "Reach every Community." Although referred to as RED/REC, however, the data emailed to the Dashboard will exclusively contain Districts. For our purposes, we need not worry about "Community" data.

DHIS-2

• DHIS-2 currently contains no population estimates for 2018. Our reports are dependent on this data and, until the MoH adds it to DHIS-2, will alway show values of zero.
  

Rollout

• We should have a workshop to introduce the web-based version of the dashboard. Christine Lenihan will touch base with Gabo regarding when and how to pay for it, and follow up with Dércio Duvane.
