National HMIS indicators — catalog (Afghanistan placeholder)

Status: Draft catalog — nationalize with MoPH before production use
Date: 2026-04-11
Authority: Complements EHR_FUNCTIONAL_REQUIREMENTS.md; does not override module SPEC.md.


1. Purpose

Define MoPH-aligned aggregate indicators and reporting expectations so that:

  • health-population exports and quality metric snapshots can be mapped to national HMIS requirements.
  • De-identified aggregates feed decision-making without duplicating clinical truth in OLTP services.

2. Principles

  1. Source of truth remains clinical services + FHIR projections; HMIS aggregates are derived.
  2. Consent and access policy govern any identifiable exports; default public-health reporting uses aggregates.
  3. Schedules (daily/weekly/monthly) are tenant/nationally configured—not hardcoded in application code.

3. Illustrative indicator families (to nationalize)

5. Next steps (program)

  1. MoPH workshop to lock indicator definitions, denominators, and reporting periods.
  2. Map each approved indicator to FR-POP / export profiles and to health-population workers.
  3. Optional: national FHIR MeasureReport profiles when IG available.
