Program enrollments together with Workflows can indicate the current status of a patient for a specific medical problem like HIV or TB. Using this information to provide a regular feedback to the medical staff can help increasing the use of OpenMRS and improve the medical care. E.g. presented on a weekly basis enables to see how and where the clinic is likely to be going. The following example is renderer by Excel.
