Overview and Preparation for Analysis of MER 2.0 Data Level 2 DATIM Exercise Part II: Testing to Treatment Linkage Using Group Sets

Transcription

1 2017 PEPFAR Data and Systems Applied Learning Summit Overview and Preparation for Analysis of MER 2.0 Data Level 2 DATIM Exercise Part II: Testing to Treatment Linkage Using Group Sets Objective: This exercise provides a step-by-step exercise in utilizing DATIM to perform a proxy linkage analysis with HTS_TST_POS and TX_NEW. This exercise builds off of the intermediate didactic session and Part I Exercise. Directions/Requirements: The exercise assumes a basic understanding of DATIM structure, DATIM pivot tables and group sets. Users must have access to DATIM. Follow the steps and instructions below and answer questions when prompted for your OU of interest.

2 Question 1: What was the linkage rate by PSNU for Quarter 3? 1) Select your time- period of interest from Periods (Note: Remember to deselect Last financial year 2) Select your organization units, selecting the OU of interest (ex. All of Moz or just Cabo Delgado) and the level. a. For some countries PSNU might sit at level 2 or level 3

3 3) Select Results from Targets/Results 4) Select Technical Area: HTS_TST

4 5) Because DATIM does not know that KPs need to be de-duplicated form HTS data when looking at Total Tests, we need to be able to exclude them from our total. We can easily do this by using all of the HTS_TST Modalities, which excludes KPs. 6) Finally Select Positive only from Test Results

5 7) Under Table Layout, shift data elements so that Organisation units are in rows and the columns show all positive HTS_TST results. Make sure to move HTS Modalities to the filter so that they are not broken down in the table. 8) Under Options, deselect show row totals, show column subtotals, and Show row subtotals, and finally change the Digit Group separator to none ---- Select Update PRO-TIP: BY SELECTING NONE FOR DIGIT GROUP SEPARATOR, EXCEL WILL RECOGNIZE THE RESULTS AS NUMBERS MAKING CALCULATION EASIER AFTER COPYING AND PASTING INTO A SPREADSHEET.

6 9) Select the table, highlighting all rows and columns. Copy and paste into Excel. PRO-TIP: FOR MANIPULATION IN EXCEL, OTHER OPTIONS INCLUDE DOWNLOADING A CSV OR MICROSOFT EXCEL WORKBOOK OF THE TABLE Note: Reformat the copy and paste into Excel so that it is easier on the eyes..

7 10) Create a corresponding table for TX_NEW using the same table. First deselect Positive from Test Results 11) In Technical Area, deselect HTS_TST and Select TX_NEW 12) Deselect all HTS Modalities

8 13) Important!!!: Because we are not specifying an age group or gender, DATIM adds the Total Numerator and the Age/Sex disaggregates. To avoid duplication, select No disagg from the Disaggregation Type group set. This acts as the Total Numerator. Another way is to select Agelessthanten, AgeAboveTen/Sex and Aggregated Age/Sex together.

9 14) Check Table Layout: Org Units are still in rows. Column Dimensions include only Technical Area and Disaggregation Type 15) Update Table: Because we did not change our org units, from the HTS_TST table, the org units in the TX_NEW table should align with the HTS_TST table.

10 16) Copy and Paste the TX_NEW table into the columns next to the HTS_TST_POS table. PRO-TIP: WHEN COMBINING TABLES BE CAREFUL WHEN SELECTING HIDE EMPTY ROWS IN OPTIONS, THIS MIGHT CAUSE ISSUES WITH ORG UNITS ALIGNING

11 17) Create a column calculation for a proxy Linkage to Care at the PSNU level. What is the calculation for a proxy to linkage-to-treatment?

12 Try this one on your own! Question 2: What is the change in proxy linkage from Q2 to Q3? *** See below for Table Layout and Excel Output***

13 Table Layout for HTS_TST

14 Table Layout for TX_NEW

15 Excel Output for change in linkage from Q2 to Q3 NOTE: IFERROR CAN BE USED IN EXCEL TO LEAVE A CELL BLANK IF THE RESULTANT FORMULA DIVIDES BY ZERO RATHER THAN GIVING AN ERROR FORMULA (#DIV/0!) =(F4/C4)-(E4/B4) IS ALSO AN APPROPRIATE FORMULA
