Notes from Session:
What IS part of OpenLMIS?
- basic cold chain equipment support, but not beyond "It is working"
- suggestions for best practice processes in supply chain reports (core)
- costing data- cost of supplies by program
- batch management
- different ways to install- configurable vs. specific
- stock management (district, region, int. warehouse)
- open source
- one (1) product or platform
- a common roof for programs (essential meds and vaccines)
- requisitions
- source for analytics/data source- R&R
- commodities transaction data
- modular
- facilities "light" or interface
- dispensing "light" or interface
- key processes supported offline: (intermittent access) * - determine which one (some need support and some don't)
- reference mobile application
- responsive: not pillar/core; but sufficient interface and APIs to allow for construction of apps that enable mobile access
- trying to create a one size fits all isn't feasible (mobile use is different for each country/facility)
- upgrade path
What it is NOT part of OpenLMIS (doesn't mean we won't interface with this, it's just not our focus/core, or another system that does it better)
- medical records
- ERP system (warehouse data)
- procurement at national level (no budgeting and buying)
- asset management
- full stack analytics tool, full business intelligence tool
- bar coding, but support call for separate modules
- budgeting
- warehouse management
- EMR
- distribution management/rout planning, transport
- master product list
- master data
- CHW
- M&E
- disaster relief/response
- disease or initiative specific
- Full VAN tool
- country-specific system
QUESTION ITEMS
- beyond health
- master product list
- mobile and offline are separate issues but
- usable offline - many countries need offline capability, especially where mobile challenges exist (screen size for forms, data not feasible in some places)- interface issues may be country specific
- SaaS
- annual forecasting
- facility stock management, or clients without online capability - does the mobile/offline become part of OpenLMIS?
- offline capability is a need (this is feedback we are hearing)
- in current state- its not possible to make whole OpenLMIS offline-but for example, the requisition process could be made offline
