This dashboard is a template that can be used by any team working on a hypertension control project. Our team has learned many lessons while developing the Simple.org project and we want to share our best practices with the world. A similar dashboard has been used in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, and Nigeria to successfully manage over 4 million patients with hypertension.
Please feel free to copy any of the code or ideas that you see in this hypertension dashboard (see open source license open source license below).
A very good public health hypertension dashboard only requires a small number of longitudinal patient data as building blocks:
Enrolled patients diagnosed with hypertensionwithEnrollment dateandEnrollment facilityPatients who had a BP measure in the last 3 monthsand was the BP measure ≥140/90 or <140/90?Patients who had a BP measure in the last 12 monthsPatient status as living or died
Data that shows how much of a region's population has lowered blood pressure is also very helpful. If a region does public health surveys, including the Estimated population with hypertension allows you to easily report coverage metrics.
Adding data on drug stock and functioning BP devices helps round out the dashboard to make it even more useful.
