Presentation Transcript

  1. Extending IHRIS: MoH and • Innovation in Emergency • Ebola Response • chris fabian / unicef / twitter @unickf / www.unicefinnovation.org

  2. Two MoH registries / resources DHIS2 iHRIS the registry of all health workers central repository of all HMIS systems for the country and the registry list for all facilities … but they are not connected

  3. mHero

  4. mHero Connect DHIS+IHRIS data flows Allow realtime data input from frontline workers on basic mobile phones And information management for supervisors through smartphones

  5. Extending DHIS+IHRIS gives us opportunities • For example… • for CDC: sending Ebola lab results to field workers • for WHO: polls of facility worker safety • for UNICEF: household visit follow-up through SMS • …for MoH…:validation of iHRIS database • These opportunities draw from the same government databases, and all of feed into (connect) common data storage • They use open standards so they can connect to other platforms

  6. mHero: Extending IHRIS • mHero will extend these systems to give the MoH: • realtime data for action • better access to and connection with field workers and uReporters • connections to the database that CDC/WHO/UNICEF and others are using for forms-based data projects • With collaborations from partners including: Mercy Corps, RBHS, MSF, USAID GEMS, Intrahealth, INSTEDD, Google, and others

  7. mHero is based upon Principles of Innovation agreed upon by UNICEF, USAID, UN EOSG, WFP, UNDP and others including: • Sustainability • Being open source • Local-ownership (see more at www.unicefinnovation.org/principles)

  8. Emergencies and creating stronger national systems:

  9. Project Mwana Time in Nameebo Rural HealthClinic from collection of early infant diagnosis sample to delivery of HIV result: April 2009:(paper data) 66 days February 2011: (SMS data) 34 days

  10. Real-time reporting through basic mobile phones on over 18 million births in Nigeria

  11. Antenatal care across Rwanda (400k pregnant women + nutritional screening for 800k <2-year children through SMS)

  12. To move forward • 1) Prototype a common set of tools (DHIS2, IHRIS, RapidPro, ODK/DCP, etc.) identified and quick, agile development of solutions: • Action: MoH supported by UNICEF, USAID, CDC, WHO, WFP, eHealth Africa, Google and others • Finalize agreements with Mobile Network Operators for shortcodes, data access, phone numbers, and engineering support through the LTA – • Action: MoH followup with LTA supported by UNICEF and USAID: GEMS • Create a coordination team in MoH for assessing new projects as they come in and coordinate across partners • Action: MoH set up team, with RBHShelping craft this with input from UNICEF experience in other markets • chris fabian / unicef / twitter @unickf / www.unicefinnovation.org
