Concepts
What Is a Use Case?

Part 3 of 3
Overview of Part 3
● Describe the SARA Survey use case

● Contrast how the SARA survey differs from the malaria case listing
Use Case Example 2 : SARA Survey
SARA Survey - Context
● Trainingland is interested in scaling up
interventions related to safe
motherhood and child health
in particular

● Baseline data are required in order

to identify priority needs
at the health facility level

● Trainingland has therefore decided to use the sub-component related to Reproductive,

Maternal and Newborn health from the SARA survey

● Data from survey will generate a key set of tracer indicators related to service availability
and readiness
 SARA Survey - Data Flow & Use

Summary
Define how we take field level
requests and incorporate the
requested functionality into DHIS2

Take standard operating procedures,

data collection tools, data outputs,
DHIS2 program workflows into account

Use Can be used to help explain how

programs have implemented DHIS2
Cases in their own setting

Require collaboration to be most

effective in practice

Are routinely enhanced by new

features and developments
