DHIS 2 is an aggregate indicator system used along with OpenMRS in many countries, manually entering data from OpenMRS reports into DHIS2 has been a source of error. So, this module will automate the report processing and reporting data transmission to DHIS2. It is a tool for collection, validation, analysis, and presentation of aggregate statistical data, tailored (but not limited) to integrated health information management activities. It is a generic tool rather than a pre-configured database application, with an open meta-data model and a flexible user interface that allows the user to design the contents of a specific information system without the need for programming. DHIS 2 and upwards is a modular web-based software package built with free and open source Java frameworks.
