    		OpenLMIS COVID ResponseRebecca Alban (Unlicensed)
  • Recap of our response to date:
    • May webinar -reiterate importance of supply chain/data visibility
    • Launch of OpenLMIS-COVID-19 Edition (CHAI, SolDevelo, stewards)
    • Using committee meetings to share updates/challenges
    • What else can/should we be doing (important guidance to share, for example)?
  • Global insights about coordination mechanisms or the 'global control tower platform'. Allocation decisions?
    • Kelly: Not much of an update- no global control tower; but several portals that are doing procurement. Flag: Africa CDC portal; this is one of several portals that have emerged lately. It would be ideal if there was a way to aggregate all the data from these portals, but nobody is stepping up to do
    • Brandon: WHO & UN had set up a portal for countries to order supplies and GF and Unicef had set up another portal for PPE type products. Fractured ecosystem. DirectRelief supplying PPE for CHWs. Equitable distribution of vaccines will be another area to continue to look at 
    • Ashraf: vaccines, we expect if a vaccine comes in that there will be a huge effort for equitable distribution; can we get ahead of the game and reach out to contacts at the WHO (TZ and Moz have national level EPI OpenLMIS)
      • could leverage OpenLMIS–start looking into what the requirements would be; get info on how they are thinking about distribution of vaccine; how can we prepare the system to be able to handle it
      • Gates is a vital force behind this global effort
      • Kelly: Sits on the ACT accelerator vaccine pillar country readiness logistics and supply sub-team. They had first meeting last week; sill keep an eye on this conversation as it evolves but it is in early stage right now. Its not going to use existing systems or same populations. Role of OpenLMIS is unclear... Presentation of vaccine is unclear.
      • Short term priority for vaccine is to go to healthcare workers. Do we have a good healthworker tracking HR information system? There are groups that OpenLMIS has not interacted with before; unique identifier for individuals might be needed in the medium term
      • Brandon: OpenSRP integration could be relevant connection in this mix; maybe we could speak to Ona again to raise this conversation, to be ready
      • Brian: could have prediction capabilities possible to predict # of healthworkers
      • Ashraf: birth registry system called TIMR (question) that is in TZ but they track unique identifiers for newborns, a different one in Zambia that also uses HL7FHIR
    • OpenHIE COVID Task Force- OpenLMIS Team has been there; insight into procurement challenges that countries face
    1. Recieved a total of 19 submission. EOI is officially closed, but we may receive responses from GHX & Infor. Initial pitch conversations being completed this month.

    Opportunities documentation

    Definitions to use shared terminology:

    • Implementation opportunity: an opportunity for an implementation or deployment of the OpenLMIS software.  Usually this is done at a national or sub-national level within a ministry of health. This can also include feature work which would be done within the implementation and contributed back to the global codebase.
    • Community opportunity: a funding opportunity to support an organization or individual to work directly on the global codebase and/or administrate the community processes. This may include funding specific features on the community roadmap.

    Country implementation opportunities:

    • This Trello table is being updated on an ongoing basis; to help the core team to track and manage implementation opportunities, but also provides a detailed snapshot of the scope and status of current implementation opportunities for stakeholders.

    Community Opportunities:

    • New Trello table! Similar to the above table, this tool is being used by the stewards to track our exploring of new product opportunities and partnerships

    Study Tours:

    • Study Tours wiki page tracks applications received, study tours completed, and other key milestones related to OpenLMIS Study Tours
