Transcript of Extending IHRIS: MoH and Innovation in Emergency Ebola Response chris fabian / unicef / twitter...
the registry of all health workers
Two MoH registries / resources
DHIS2central repository of all HMIS
systems for the country
and
the registry list for all facilities
iHRIS
… but they are not connected
mHero
Connect DHIS+IHRIS data flows
Allow realtime data input from frontline workers on basic mobile phones
And information management for supervisors through smartphones
For example…
1) for CDC: sending Ebola lab results to field workers
2) for WHO: polls of facility worker safety
3) for UNICEF: household visit follow-up through SMS
4) …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
Extending DHIS+IHRIS gives us opportunities
mHero will extend these systems to give the MoH:
1) realtime data for action
2) better access to and connection with field workers and uReporters
3) 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
mHero: Extending IHRIS
1) Sustainability
2) Being open source
3) Local-ownership
mHero is based upon Principles of Innovation agreed upon by UNICEF, USAID, UN EOSG, WFP, UNDP and others including:

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
Project Mwana
Antenatal care across Rwanda (400k pregnant women + nutritional screening for 800k <2-year children through SMS)
1) Prototype a common set of tools (DHIS2, IHRIS, RapidPro, ODK/DCP, etc.) identified and quick, agile development of solutions:
1) Action: MoH supported by UNICEF, USAID, CDC, WHO, WFP, eHealth Africa, Google and others
2)Finalize agreements with Mobile Network Operators for shortcodes, data access, phone numbers, and engineering support through the LTA –
2) Action: MoH followup with LTA supported by UNICEF and USAID: GEMS
3)Create a coordination team in MoH for assessing new projects as they come in and coordinate across partners
2) Action: MoH set up team, with RBHShelping craft this with input from UNICEF experience in other markets
