Linked Action Tracker Dashboard and Demo server¶

Introduction to the Action Tracker App¶

Action Tracker is part of the bottleneck and scorecard cascade that utilizes DHIS2 analytical features to assess national and sub-national level performance of key priority interventions aimed at improving health service delivery and health outcomes. It is a tool that helps improve effective coverage of priority interventions at sub-national level by tracking actions taken to address the root causes of key bottlenecks in the health interventions.

The Action Tracker App is developed and maintained by the HISP Community (University of Oslo (UiO), HISP-Tanzania and HISP Uganda) in collaboration with UNICEF. The Action Tracker v1.0.0.rc.0 is available for download on the Dhis app store. It is currently compatible with DHIS2 2.28 and above.

Advantages of the Action Tracker App¶

The Action Tracker App helps track the status of key steps taken to address the root causes of key bottlenecks in priority interventions. It is built within DHIS2 along side the BNA, Scorecard and Root Cause analysis Apps allowing systematic analysis, status update and follow up of actions taken to address possible solutions to key bottlenecks in health service delivery.

Rationale for the Linked Action Tracker App¶

The Linked Action Tracker enables health managers track progress on implementation of actions for proposed solutions and allows for review and follow up of these actions. Following the design of BNA, Scorecard and Root Cause Analysis Apps in DHIS2, it was paramount to design the Action Tracker within DHIS2 to complete the cascade of Bottle Neck Analysis.

NOTE Linked Action Tracker App is dependent on BNA app implementation. All actions to be listed on Action Tracker App must be referencing bottlenecks identified using BNA app. You cannot implement Action Tracker App without a BNA app.

1.4 Accessing the Linked Action Tracker¶

This user guide is documented using the Linked Action Tracker App which is available on the DHIS2 demo server. The Action Tracker is set up in the DHIS2 Demo server and with linkages to the BNA, Scorecard and Root Cause Analysis Apps. The current demo server can be accessed on: https://scorecard-dev.dhis2.org/demo/ with the username and password provided on the login page.
