  • Angola is first implementation to implement stock management module and super set reports; also use Point of Delivery function
  • Implementation process guided and governed by a multi-stakeholder TWG
  • Contributed many UI and security improvements to the core
  • In addition to planned users, they also trained students at the health schools to promote sustainability of the system
  • Challenge: many users have no basic computer skills and needed to fill that gap (teach them basic computer skills, turn on computer, etc.)
  • 2020 will focus on finishing national expansion; site and system evaluations; and maybe get SIGLOFA on a tablet 
  • Key Lessons learned from their process to date are documented here; SIGLOFA - Release 1 - Key Findings & Lessons Learned - final.docx. Slide presentation is available here: Lessons_Learned_Angola Implementation_Dercio D_Nov 2019.pptx

Product Catalog Management Tool (PCMT)

Presenters: Brandon Bowersox Johnson & Josh Zamor

Provide an overview of a new open source tool (PCMT); and highlight how it

  • The system facilitates product information management, master data management and interoperability.
  • A Product Registry is a key registry in an OpenHIE ecosystem
  • Purpose: Provide a consistent list of products (medicines, vaccines, & commodities). This is critical for all systems to interoperate and share data
  • Version 1.0 to be developed in Dec 2019; version 2.0 in April 2020. Partners include: VillageReach, USAID, FP Global VAN, BMGF
