Session 11: Analysis of Data Using HMIS (MTUHA) Database

(PRACTICAL)

Learning Tasks

By the end of this session, students are expected to be able to:

• Establish trends of pharmaceutical services from HMIS (MTUHA) database
• Identify pharmaceutical services problems from analyzed data
• Prepare reports

Establish Trends of Pharmaceutical Services from HMIS (MTUHA) Database

List three trends of Pharmaceutical Service while using inventory program tools

i. HMIS
ii. LMIS
iii. DHIS

Explanation of Pharmaceutical trends using Inventory Tools

HMIS

• Health management information systems (HMIS) collect, aggregate, and use service data

from health facilities

• Logistics management information systems (LMIS) collect and use commodity supply

data from health and storage facilities

• A HMIS collects and reports program information, such as incidence of disease,

client/patient information, and health services rendered.

• HMIS data can be used to determine disease patterns or to track health services use,

as well as to monitor and evaluate health service delivery.

• DHIS2 is the most widely used application in LMISs, and is optimized for data

reporting.

LMIS

• A LMIS is a system that is used to collect, organizes, and present logistics data

gathered from all levels of the health system.

• An LMIS enables logisticians to collect the data needed to make informed decisions

that will ultimately improve product availability and patient treatment.

• One immediate decision that is made based on logistics data is the quantities of

products that should be resupplied to health facilities.

• An LMIS provides data needed to operate a supply chain.

o It collects data about health products such as quantities consumed, stock on hand,

losses and adjustment.

o It collects data from stores, dispensing records area.

DHIS 2

• The Tanzania HMIS (MTUHA) database software is called DHIS 2
• DHIS 2 is platform independent
• DHIS 2 can run on both on-line (with the internet) and offline (without the internet)

modes.

DHIS 2 Software

• DHIS2 provides a powerful set of tools for data collection, validation, reporting and

analysis, but the contents of the database.

For example:-

 What to collect,

 Who should collect it

 On what format; it depends on the context of use

• it is used for Capturing, managing, and analysing of data
• Highly flexible and configurable platform with a wide variety of use cases
• Free and open source software
• Extensible through Web APIs and other applications

LMIS

A LMIS is a system that is used to collect, organizes, and present logistics data gathered

from all levels of the health system.

It’s the system used by Pharmacists to order medicines to MSD it uses the Database called

eLMIS (Electronic Management Information System)

Who created eLMIS?

• The electronic Management Information System (eLMIS) is an ordering and reporting

system built by Ministry of Health Community Development, Gender, Elderly and

Children (MOHCDGEC) in Tanzania

• eLMIS is a web-based application which computerizes existing paper-based logistics

management information systems (LMIS) and it collects, organizes and manages,

logistics data. The goal of eLMIS is to improve health logistics data collection,

aggregation and presentation.

HMIS NOTES

In eLMIS the form thus its used to do requesting and Reporting its called R&R Form

In eLMIS medicines are order after every 3 months

The Categories to Order Medicine are as follows

• ILS

• ARV/ IO

• Lab Supplies

• TB/ IVD

Where do R&Rs go?

Features and functionality of LMIS in relation to pharmaceutical services

Explanation for features of LMIS

• Requisitions and Ordering

o Create, authorize, approve report and requisitions, both regular, based on

configured processing periods, and emergency.

o Supports offline data capture on key screens.

o Executes complex and configurable approval hierarchies.

o Calculates order amounts based on average consumption and max policies.

o Complex data validations to support quality data capture.

o Generate orders for external fulfillment based on approved requisitions.

• Setup and Customization

o Manage system users, role assignments, programs, facilities, orderable and

associations with bulk upload and administrative screens.

o Configure the system to match your processing and reorder periods, policies and

facility hierarchy.

• Stock Management

o Record transactions and view electronic stock cards (supports lot info)

o Perform physical inventory & adjustments

o Track ins/outs of stock – send and receive stock
