Introduction to geospatial data management and technologies for PHDs

1. Introduction to geospatial data management and technologies for PHDs Kampong Cham 6-8 February 2018

2. Welcome and Opening remark

3. Context of the training • Aligned to the third Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 (HSP3) which re-affirms the MoH’s commitment to meeting the stated long term vision of the health sector development. • Strategic objectives No 6: “Health and health –related data/information are reliable, accurate, timely and of high quality and used together with results of sound health research” • Key information system in Cambodia: • Health Management Information System (HMIS) • Patient Management Registration System (PMRS) • Disease Surveillance Systems • … • Need for an integrated HIS • Importance to ensure for all the systems to share the same geography, this is what we referred to as being geo-enabled • The geo-enablement of the HIS has been included in the master plan under strategic priority area No 7 (Services, applications & tools) in order for the health sector in Cambodia to fully benefit from the power of geography, geospatial data and technologies • Activities to span over 2017 and 2018

5. Context of the training - HIS geo-enabling An Information System that fully benefits from the power of geography, geospatial data and technologies Geography: The study of the natural features of the Earth, such as mountains and rivers – The Science Geospatial data: Also referred to as spatial data, information about the locations and shapes of geographic features and the relationships between them, usually stored as coordinates and topology – The Content Geospatial technologies: Refers to equipment used in visualization, measurement, and analysis of earth's features, typically involving such systems as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and remote sensing (RS) – The Tools 5
