Abstract
We report on development of a primary health care data navigation decision support system. The system was designed around four primary services, including data entry, query support, gap analysis and report generation. The context for development required a centralized approach to deal with security issues of access, data integrity and privacy and the PHC DSS was intended for use by a restricted group of policy analysts and decision makers. We focus primarily on the abstractions to data entry, query support, and the approach to interface design and functionality.
