Digital technologies can act as accelerators for the introduction, deployment, and scale-up of vaccines in countries to assist health workers, communities, and other stakeholders. The use of digital tools and the data they enable facilitate rapid, iterative, and scalable approaches to ensure vaccines are safely delivered to health facilities, that health workers are equipped to administer them, and that communities are informed and confident in their efficacy.

Global Good Adaptations for COVID-19 Vaccine Introduction

The following table summarizes the adaptions made by global goods to support COVID-19 vaccine introduction, including COVAX.

Last update: July 14, 2022

Global Good	Adaptation	Resources
CommCare	Dimagi has developed a template solution for Equitable and Effective COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery. The solution tracks and supports every client before, during, and after the vaccination process while providing analytics and visualizations to monitor the progression of vaccine delivery. It provides direct digital support to health providers administering vaccines (via apps), people getting vaccinated (via messaging), vaccine managers and supervisors (via analytics and dashboards), and community advocates (via apps or messaging).

iHRIS	iHRIS, used to track and manage health workforce data to improve access to services, is being adapted to track health worker vaccination data. Data can be used to help determine the vaccination needs of health workers across justifications and align vaccination efforts. Using data from iHRIS, Demographic and Health Surveys, and other national data to World Health Organization planning tools, governments have been able to model the timing and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, ministries of health can determine when and where frontline health workers should be available and how many are needed. Having accurate and available health workforce data allows the government to rapidly mobilize and prepare health workforces to address COVID-19 while minimizing the negative impact on essential health services such as HIV/AIDS, family planning, and maternal and child health.	iHRIS website
Instant OpenHIE	Instant OpenHIE has been adapted to include a COVID-19 immunization tracking package that extends off the core Instant OpenHIE solution, with scripts to set up a containerized set of components and configuration scripts enabling the demonstration of patient and COVID-19 immunization tracking within a health information exchange and case reporting aligned with WHO standards and submission of laboratory results within a health information exchange	Instant OpenHIE COVID-19 Immunization Tracking Package
mHero	mHero has been launched in Liberia, Kenya, and Uganda (and soon DRC) for COVID-19 communication between health workers and ministries of health (or other institution that oversees cadres of health workers, such as UNICEF). In Kenya, mHero is being used as part of an information campaign to promote uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among health workers in two counties. Additionally, the mHero team has also collaborated with the OpenHIE COVID-19 Task Force to build a library of FHIR-compliant workflows that align with global COVID-19 reporting standards, and is also working with FLOIP to ensure that FLOIP results from FHIR-compliant workflows can be accessed in mHero. mHero website
ODK-X	ODK-X developed a vaccine cold chain information system using the ODK-X frameworks to help countries track and improve their vaccine cold chain equipment used to store vaccines (e.g., COVID-19 vaccines) for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and WHO. During COVID-19 shutdowns, Red Cross used ODK-X to track beneficiaries and distribute money and goods to vulnerable populations affected by COVID-19 in several countries.	ODK-X website
OpenFn	For COVID-19 vaccine support, OpenFn implementations are configured to connect vaccine eligibility, request, and delivery data across systems and to facilitate the transfer of vaccine-related supply chain data between systems.For COVID-19 response, OpenFn implementations are adjusted to connect online and offline community health worker tools with cloud-based health information systems, facilitating better disease surveillance.	OpenFn website
OpenHIM	The OpenHIM is adapted to support COVID-19 vaccination tracking within an HIE through a set of custom mediators supporting ingestion of patient and immunization data, persistence to an FHIR data repository, and interfacing with a Client Registry. The OpenHIM is adapted to support COVID-19 data exchange within a health information exchange through a set of mediators covering COVID-19 case reporting aligned with WHO standards and submission of laboratory results, supporting ingestion of case reports and laboratory data, and persistence to both an FHIR data repository and DHIS2.	COVID-19 Immunization OpenHIM Architecture
SanteIMS	SanteIMS is a proven highly scalable immunization and vaccination program management platform that is used for national EPI programs and supports any type of vaccine delivery, including C-19 vaccines, to an entire country's population. It's key features include: Offline-First Design enabling seamless uninterrupted work offline without any loss of functionality when internet connectivity is interrupted or not available Once and done point of care data entry which eliminates the need for manual indicator gathering and reporting and automatically updates stock management data Full functionality and UI consistency across multiple platforms (tablet, desktop etc.) and operating systems, allowing leveraging of existing technology investments and use of the most appropriate hardware platform to support each workflow and context Supports cloud based, hybrid or on premise implementations* Real-time implementation of clinical decision and care guidelines Intelligent facility visit scheduling and forecasting Extended problem reporting (AEFI, COD, FEVER, etc.) Facility planning tools Stock & Order Management which fully integrates with national logistics management systems to help eliminate stock-outs and maximize cost effective use of vaccines and related supplies Facility level dashboards and automated data feeds to data visualization tools like DHIS2 Built-in support for interoperability following OpenHIE standards and out-of-the-box integration with the SanteMPI Client Registry	For an overview of SanteIMS's capabilities please see the GAVI produced video of Tanzania's TiMR EIR (part of the PATH led BID initiative).

UNICEF/WHO Digital Health Center of Excellence (DICE)

Many countries do not have fully functioning digital systems or solutions required to address health and information systems priorities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as post-pandemic health systems’ needs. Digital Square and the newly formed UNICEF/WHO Digital Health Center of Excellence (DICE) are proactively looking for opportunities to collaborate to support countries’ wanting to invest in sustainable and scalable deployments of carefully chosen digital solutions for COVID-19 pandemic response plans. DICE is committed to supporting countries harness appropriate digital public goods, many of which are mature and already integrated into national systems, to provide substantial multilayered support to the COVID-19 pandemic using a health system strengthening lens; from planning distribution of commodities and vaccines, tracking supplies, surveillance and case detection, monitoring coverage of services, and communicating to generate demand and reduce misinformation. . Digital Square’s Mission is to connect health leaders with the resources they need for digital transformation. Through our collective partnership, we aim to not only support country needs now, but also to help country leaders build stronger, more sustainable digital systems, which will improve health outcomes beyond the current pandemic.”

-Digital Square is pleased to share resources sourced from the Digital Health Community to facilitate alignment and coordination in the COVID-19 response, and to support countries choosing digital tools to aid in their own response efforts.  If you have a resource you would like us to host on the wiki, please contact [mailto:abendor@path.org Amanda BenDor].
-===UNICEF Country Mapping for COVID-19 Response===
-UNICEF has initiated a '''country mapping''' of relevant Digital Health solutions that can be leveraged to support frontline health workers in their response to COVID-19 and that can be used by countries to support Risk Communication and Community Engagement on COVID-19. The mapping can be accessed [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GbM1nuHxnCvoc1hLLcQAt7QOoQxnAXdI3hdP3Qt7KUg/edit?usp=sharing here].  If you want to update the country mapping, please use the comment function and the UNICEF team will update the information accordingly.
-Likewise, a '''partnership landscaping''' has also been done to map where implementing partners are working to support digital tools for frontline health workers and which digital solutions they are supporting. This mapping can be accessed [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y6fl3Uqvn0lcFhBlYPXLKKi2HXi79kw8pWR_h8PwE3s/edit?usp=sharing here]. If your organization is missing from the partnership landscaping, you can add the information directly in the spread sheet.
-Both these mapping tools are free to use by anyone who wish to know which solutions already exist at country level and that can be deployed for frontline health workers for COVID-19 response and recovery efforts.
-=Comparison of Digital Tools used in the COVID-19 Response=
-Countries have access to a large, complex ecosystem of digital platforms that can support COVID-19 response. The process of selecting the most appropriate platform for a country's specific needs or context can be overwhelming without clear information about the benefits and limitations of the options. Several new resources have been developed to support in-country assessment and decisions about digital technologies for COVID response.
-===Johns Hopkins assessment===
-In July 2020, Johns Hopkins published an assessment of digital platforms that have an established presence in several low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), and either have been or could be rapidly reconfigured to address COVID-19 related case management and contact tracing needs.  The assessment includes a review of the following tools: CommCare, Community Health Toolkit (CHT), DHIS2 Tracker, Go.Data, ODK, OpenSRP, RapidPro, SORMAS, and WelTel. The platforms were selected based on their existing deployment, flexibility, and adaptability for COVID-19 use cases, their ability to support multiple languages, and stakeholder interest in how these applications can be leveraged in response to COVID-19. The full report can be accessed [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yCP7t1di_ofQ0YhuPAD1Oqcj1aTo74k5/view here].
-===Digital Square efforts===
-In recognition that this is a rapidly evolving landscape, Digital Square has been working across donors to collate a comparison of digital tools that are currently used in the COVID-19 response. Included in the comparison is an analysis of a number of functional and non-functional requirements.  Including in this document are the following digital health tools: DHIS2, SORMAS, Go.Data, EpiInfo, CommCare, ODK, Kobo Toolbox, Excel and non-digital paper tools. This comparison is a dynamic document meant for community updates that can be accessed [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cMQAZO94uTe4HULLmBRN80fPnNUwayqw3e2UT-voJbw/edit?usp=sharing here].  If you would like to make updates including adding additional tools or information to tools included, please contact [mailto:cfourie@path.org Carl Fourie].
-====Map & Match====
-The USAID-funded Map & Match project helps countries, donors, implementing partners, and the global digital health community at large to leverage and adapt existing digital tools in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world learned during the West Africa Ebola outbreak response, prioritizing the reuse and adaptation of existing digital tools is vital to quickly scale access to time-sensitive disease information and data.
-[https://digitalsquare.org/covid19-map-match '''Find Map & Match resources on the Digital Square website here.''']
-*In March 2021, Digital Square published the [https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59bc3457ccc5c5890fe7cacd/t/603d549f3e5f2c2800651483/1614632096462/DATEC-FINAL.pdf ''Digital Applications and Tools Across an Epidemiological Curve'']. This resource provides a strategic framework for governments, investors, implementing organizations, and the digital health community to better understand how existing digital tools can be adapted and used during different phases of an outbreak.

+Many countries do not have fully functioning digital systems or solutions required to address health and information systems priorities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as post-pandemic health systems’ needs. Digital Square and the newly formed UNICEF/WHO Digital Health Center of Excellence (DICE) are proactively looking for opportunities to collaborate to support countries’ wanting to invest in sustainable and scalable deployments of carefully chosen digital solutions for COVID-19 pandemic response plans. DICE is committed to supporting countries harness appropriate digital public goods, many of which are mature and already integrated into national systems, to provide substantial multilayered support to the COVID-19 pandemic using a health system strengthening lens; from planning distribution of commodities and vaccines, tracking supplies, surveillance and case detection, monitoring coverage of services, and communicating to generate demand and reduce misinformation. . Digital Square’s Mission is to connect health leaders with the resources they need for digital transformation. Through our collective partnership, we aim to not only support country needs now, but also to help country leaders build stronger, more sustainable digital systems, which will improve health outcomes beyond the current pandemic.”
