Presentation of health data and user acceptance of DHIS

This book studies the Health Management Information System (HMIS) and District Health Information System (DHIS 2) focusing on its report formats. It examines the need of improvement on the aspect of its data presentation. It also explores the user acceptance of DHIS 2 software. This book focuses on how do presentation of report formats can be best performed so that it contributes to user acceptance of the DHIS 2 software. This book is based upon the fieldwork done in Kerala, the southern state of India. As I have done most of my observations and interviews on that occasion for data collection. The findings show that there are still places in DHIS 2 where we can improve in its report formats. I have figured out the places for improvement in various screen presented by DHIS 2 for report generation. And user acceptance of DHIS 2 was examined for its users in Kerala, which is positive for this new system. I have also put my experiences and learning form fieldwork and overall 2 years course at University of Oslo, in this book. This book aims to suggest improvements in DHIS 2 software for its successful implementation in the field.
