Central Surveillance & Data Aggregation Dashboard Spec
A comprehensive functional specification defining the central executive health portal, early-warning outbreak detection algorithms, bed utilization forecasting, and clinical intelligence feeds for Timor-Leste.
1. Dashboard Mandate & Strategic Objective
Real-Time Health Intelligence for Ministry Leadership
The Central Surveillance & Data Aggregation Dashboard acts as the command-and-control intelligence interface for the Ministério da Saúde (MdS), housed specifically within the Directorate-General of Hospital Services (DGSH) in Dili.
Moving beyond delayed static monthly reports, this platform aggregates live transactional feeds from **Hospital Nacional Guido Valadares (HNGV)**, regional referral hospitals, and municipal **Centros de Saúde Comunitários (CSCs)**. Built on open **District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2)** and **Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)** API architecture, the dashboard equips national decision-makers with real-time visibility into epidemic spikes, hospital bed occupancy, referral bottlenecks, and essential medicine stock levels across all 13 municipalities.

Module 1: Early-Warning Epidemic Surveillance & Outbreak Heatmaps
Functional Scope: Tracks real-time incidence trends for notifiable infectious diseases across municipal health centers.
- Automated Anomaly Detection: Statistical algorithms trigger visual alerts when weekly cases of Dengue, Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, or acute watery diarrhea exceed historical 5-year baseline thresholds.
- Geographic Heatmap Layer: GIS-enabled municipal map displaying cluster density down to the Suku (village) level, powered by primary care tablet encounter logs.
- Surveillance Signal Verification: Integrated workflow allowing national epidemiologists to confirm outbreak signals and dispatch field response teams.
Module 2: Hospital Bed Occupancy & Tertiary Capacity Forecasting
Functional Scope: Monitors real-time inpatient capacity and bed turnover at HNGV and regional referral hospitals.
- Live Bed Availability Matrix: Color-coded indicators tracking Intensive Care Unit (ICU), surgical, pediatric, and maternity bed occupancy rates.
- 30-Day Predictive Admissions Model: Machine learning forecasts estimating upcoming tertiary bed demand based on incoming municipal referral trends.
- Surgical Backlog Monitor: Tracks waiting list queues and operating room throughput across regional facilities.
Module 3: Referral Network Logistics & Transfer Tracking
Functional Scope: Provides end-to-end oversight of patient transfer flows between primary CSCs and referral hospitals.
- Active Referral Queue: Live feed of pending emergency transfers, ambulance dispatch status, and clinical receiving acceptance.
- Referral Completion Rate: Metrics auditing closed-loop feedback loops (percentage of discharged hospital patients receiving municipal follow-up).
- Transit Time Analytics: Measures average duration between emergency referral initiation at rural CSCs and patient arrival at HNGV.
Module 4: Essential Medicine Stock & Cold Chain Integrity
Functional Scope: Monitors pharmaceutical inventory levels and vaccine temperature stability across municipal clinics.
- Stockout Risk Indicator: Automated alerts flagging facilities with less than 14 days of supply for critical antibiotics, maternal health drugs, and TB treatments.
- IoT Solar Cold Chain Feeds: Real-time temperature logs from solar-powered vaccine refrigerators, alerting officers to thermal breaches.

3. Technical Architecture & User Interface Principles
Role-Based Executive Views
Customized dashboard landing views tailored specifically for the Minister of Health, Directorate Leads, Municipal Health Directors, and Hospital Superintendents.
Automated PDF Executive Summaries
Generates automated weekly PDF brief decks formatted for presentation at the Health Sector Coordination Committee (HSCC) and Cabinet meetings.
Low-Bandwidth Web Optimization
Lightweight JavaScript and compressed SVG chart rendering ensure fast dashboard loading even over unstable 3G connections in municipal health offices.
Data Sovereignty & Audit Trail
All dashboard queries, data exports, and alert overrides are logged in a tamper-proof audit trail hosted on secure Timor-Leste government servers.
