Questions that improve the work.

1. Are indicator definitions understood consistently by everyone recording and reviewing the data?
2. Do reported totals reconcile with the relevant registers, forms or line lists?
3. Are zero values verified as true zeros rather than missing or delayed data?
4. Are sex, age and population disaggregations complete and internally consistent?
5. Can unusual changes be explained by service activity, reporting practice or system behaviour?
6. Are identified corrections documented, assigned and followed through?

Use when preparing a facility review, supportive-supervision visit or monthly validation session.

1. What decision or workflow must the system improve?
2. Have current users and workflows been observed before requirements are finalised?
3. Are data standards, identifiers and interoperability responsibilities clear?
4. Is infrastructure adequate for the intended pattern of use?
5. Are training, support and escalation routes defined beyond initial deployment?
6. How will adoption, data quality, user experience and sustainability be monitored?

Use when planning DHIS2 aggregate or individual-level workflows, LIS/LIMS or other health-information-system work.

1. What changed, where did it change and for which population or service point?
2. Is the pattern credible after checking completeness, timeliness and source consistency?
3. What programme or implementation factors could reasonably explain it?
4. Which facilities or workflows require verification before action?
5. What decision can be made now, and what additional evidence is needed?
6. Who owns the next action, by when, and how will progress be reviewed?

Use when moving a dashboard or report discussion from observation to accountable action.
