Definition
An organization in Care is a government or administrative area, for example a state or a district. Care arranges these areas in a hierarchy, from the country down to the ward. To open the hierarchy, select Organizations in the Admin sidebar. Then select Governance.
Care attaches an organization to each facility and to each patient as the geo organization. The geo organization is the government area that the facility or the patient belongs to, for example a district.
Key Attributes
| Components | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the government or administrative area. Care requires a name. |
| Description | More detail about the organization. This attribute is optional. |
The name must be different from the names of the other organizations at the same level of the same hierarchy.
The hierarchy
Care shows the organizations as an expandable tree at the left of the page. Every organization, except a top-level organization, has one parent. An organization can have any number of children.
The government hierarchy levels include:
- Country
- State
- District
- Block Panchayat
- Corporation
- District Panchayat
- Grama Panchayat
- Local Body
- Municipality
- Ward
Level and parent
You do not enter the hierarchy level and the parent. Care sets them from the position in the tree where you create the organization.
Who can change the hierarchy
Only a Care superuser can create, change, or delete a government organization. Other users see the government organizations that they have access to. Care blocks their changes to these organizations.
