Logistimo: Scaling Health Worker Capacity
This project intends to enable a scalable model for ongoing capacity development of last-mile workers using a combination of:
- Easy-to-use self-serve, e-learning service with video content that enables self-learning and capacity assessments.
- Community interactions with peer co-workers, supervisors or experts through an online group accessible within their mobile applications, which offers a sustained high-touch support. Such a group enables one to ask or answer questions online, as well as share of best practices.
Both of these will be made contextually accessible through the Iota and Pulse mobile applications that are already in use. The former enables deeper self-learning, while the latter enables ongoing learning through human mentorship that anyone in the community can offer online.
Lorem Ipsum for Digital Health
Lorem Ipsum for Digital Health will create a harmonized synthetic data generator for malaria or HIV/AIDS that can be used by software developers, policy-makers, and researchers to improve the functionality and data analysis capabilities of DHIS 2, OpenMRS, iHRIS, and related services like OpenInfoMan, Global Open Facility Registry, and more. This new data will be statistically similar to country-level realities yet totally safe for public usage across the global digital health community.
Planwise: Optimizing Geospatial Network Coverage
Planwise is an open source software tool that uses geospatial modeling and optimization techniques to make it simple for an organization to understand whom they are helping, and to maximize the efficiency impact of their services. Specifically, it shows a user what the current coverage and capacity of the network is, and then produces scenarios for how to best enhance access to care; for the least amount of funding.
Open Child Helpline System (OpenCHS) Community of Practice
The Child Helpline System is an Open Source Case Management System that supports reporting and case management of abuse cases of children through various channels of communication including calls, SMS and CHAT. Child Helplines are operational in more than 147 countries around the World. They play a critical role in Child Protection Systems by providing a reporting mechanism by adults and children on incident or risk of any abuse, violence and exploitation happening against any child. The goal of this project is to build an OpenCHS Community of Practice to coordinate and consolidate contributions and efforts from various partners. We intend to establish a curated and moderated one-stop virtual space for engagement, knowledge sharing and learning amongst OpenCHS implementers, developers and users.
OpenELIS within Laboratory Information Systems Community of Practice
The proposed project will significantly improve resources which enable health sector personnel to efficiently deploy, adopt, and use OpenELIS, advance awareness of the features and value proposition of the OpenELIS product within the laboratory sector in LMIC, and widen the community of stakeholders interested in maintaining and enhancing OpenELIS and other open-source LIS for long-term sustainability of system implementations and software products. Together the activities will contribute to improved availability of viable open-source LIS which support quality of laboratory practice in low and middle income countries (LMICs).
Pharmadex: Enhancing the Medicines Registration Application
Management Sciences for Health (MSH) has developed a web-based tool, Pharmadex, to help NMRAs streamline the process. Pharmadex is being used by four NMRAs to ensure that they have the most updated medicines available and approved for prescribing. We propose to add features such as multiple language support, user-configurable logos, and ability for each country to define their own fields and variables to ensure that NMRAs that have requested an application for use can easily adopt Pharmadex for their country contexts.

OpenELIS: Integration with Leading Clinical and Logistics Information Systems
This proposal will integrate the OpenELIS open-source LIS with the OpenMRS electronic medical record (EMR), with the integrated Bahmni clinical information system package, as well as with the OpenLMIS logistics management information system(LMIS). The project will advance interoperability of OpenELIS with other systems in the context of both direct bridges as well as linkage through heatlh information exchange (HIE), modeled on the OpenHIE framework. The proposed project will significantly advance flexible, standardized, deployable solutions for interoperability of OpenELIS with leading EMR and LMIS products, thereby improving the ability of the laboratory sector in LMICs to support laboratory monitoring for patient care and outbreak detection.
OpenLMIS: Advancing the Community
This Notice C consortium proposal is being submitted on behalf of the OpenLMIS community to seek support for community-requested feature development (see the Project Description section for details). With this funding, the community can support the growing number of countries deploying OpenLMIS, while still remaining responsive to the needs of existing implementations. Specifically, the community will support the current deployment in Malawi and the upcoming deployments in Angola, Mozambique, and potentially in Benin and Cameroon. Notice C activities will include new community-requested features to support new implementations, conducting releases and maintenance/fixes, and helping implementations contribute their enhancements back to the shared global version, resulting in greater capacity for this open source community to support a larger number of adoptions on one shared, common codebase.
OpenMRS Implementation Ecosystem
An Instant OpenHIE
nstant OpenHIE will radically reduce the costs and skills required for software developers to rapidly deploy OpenHIE architecture for quicker initial solution testing and faster production implementations. Instant OpenHIE will be a simple way for technical persons to install and see a complex system working for a real use case. It will allow technical persons to illustrate how interoperability will work to solve health challenges and show how a national interoperability architecture could be created with open source tools.
