WHO SMART Guidelines - Measles Immunization
0.1.0 - ci-build

WHO SMART Guidelines - Measles Immunization, published by WHO. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 0.1.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/WorldHealthOrganization/smart-example-immz and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

Indicator and Performance Metrics

This page includes indicators and performance metrics that would be aggregated from core data elements identified and is extracted from the WHO Digital Adaptation Kit (DAK): SMART Guidelines for Immunizations (link forthcoming).

For full operational descriptions of the indicators included and their references, see Web Annex C of the DAK. For machine-readable representations, see the Indicators and Measures.

These indicators may be aggregated automatically from the digital tracking tool to populate a digital health management information system (HMIS).

Indicator table column descriptions

Data Element Description
Indicator code An identifier for the indicator
Indicator name A short name for the indicator
Description A description about the indicator
Numerator definition The description of numerator used to calculate the indicator.
Numerator computation The calculation or how to derive this numerator. Any specific data elements noted here should align directly with the individual-level Data Element Name.
Denominator definition The dglossescription of denominator used to calculate the indicator.
Denominator definition The description of denominator used to calculate the indicator.
Denominator computation The calculation or how to derive this denominator. Any specific data elements noted here should align directly with the individual-level Data Element Name.
Disaggregations Are there any dis-aggregations that you would like to be able to do in order to conduct the necessary analysis?
References If there are any national or global guidelines (e.g. WHO guidelines) that dictate how and why this indicator should be calculated or reported, it should be noted here. If any guidelines or recommendations change, having a clear reference listed would help in updating or restructuring your data.

IMMZ.IND.05 Immunization coverage for Measles containing vaccine (Estimated Denominator) Compares the administered doses of Measles Containing Vaccines (MCV) with the estimated number of surviving infants (if dose 1) or a country supplied denominator (if dose 2) expressed as a percentage. Number of administrations of vaccinations containing a Measles component during reporting period COUNT immunization events WHERE "vaccine code" is a Measles vaccine (IMMZ.Z1.DE9) and "status code" = completed and vaccine "administration date" during reporting period Estimated number of surviving infants (for dose 1) and country supplied denominator for dose sequence 2 (see comments) PARAMETER number of surviving infants (if Dose Sequence = 1) or PARAMETER of country supplied denominator (if Dose Sequence = 2) Dose Sequence - 1, 2; Age Group - < 1 year or > 1 year; Administrative Area; Sex
