**Answer:** KHIS, Kenya's DHIS2-based aggregate reporting system, receives summary indicators from facilities, not individual records. The Data Exchange Regulations require the Digital Health Agency to check during certification that solutions can meet Health Management Information Services reporting obligations. Configure your system to produce the required summary counts automatically from coded data, review totals before submission, and suppress very small numbers in any onward publication. Confirm the current mental health indicators and forms with your county health records officer.
