COVID19 Tool Discussion | Gaurav Bhattacharya (Unlicensed) | Overview of the new tool, development status, upcoming plans, positioning/potential, Q&A- slides available here and 1-page description of the tool attached below
Gaurav: This is a stripped down version of OpenLMIS for a lightweight version; using CCE equipment module to track equipment (ventilators for examples) can be tracked; We initially thought better target countries would be those who already have OpenLMIS because a lot of the functionalities and familiarity would be there; longterm view is to give new abilities to countries who dont currently have anything. Kelly: data standards that can link all the levels of the supply chain are important; this is an opportunity to coalesce the community around a set of standards Jean: Is it possible to use existing OpenLMIS and just add existing products to it, rather than use the OpenLMIS COVID instance? Ashraf: The TZ team did not have to do any programming, they used the existing system to support the COVID program Wes: We will likely end up using some of the lessons learned from this project; taking the product list ; SaaS option that is only related to COVID-related commodities for now (but there is opportunity to expand number of products later). Out thinking has evolved over time regarding Brandon: this is helpful and exciting; time to share data about this; Who is the key target audience (the countries who don't have OpenLMIS?): Exciting to see that a lot of the target countries are countries who dont have functional eLMIS. Somewhat cautious about countries that have current OpenLMIS implementations; those teams could be better off using their existing instance. This is what is happening in TZ, Malawi, and Zambia. Can be tricky when there is existing partner relationships; could be complicated. We should review existing countries on a case by case basis Brandon: Could this feed into global ordering mechanisms? Could we make it so that the OpenLMIS data feeds into an order (Wambo, control tower, etc.)? Is this still a future idea? Gaurav: That was our vision in the beginning; but then had a number of discussions with the Global Fund and was taking too long; complications. This is still the vision but the main thrust for now will be to make these deployments successful and useful | - | ||||||

OpenHIE COVID Task Force- Supply Chain Group | Carl Leitner | We made a request to add in new data fields to supplies equipment; they were open to it. ICD folks were very supporting of what we are trying to do. Still have UNICEF and Wambo platform and WFP platforms to manage but at least there is support on the WHO side for that process Josh: there is still a question of whether it could be a real product list; we can keep engaging to see if that is possible | |||||||

Conferences and Meetings Conferences provide the community the opportunity for OpenLMIS members to speak or represent the OpenLMIS software and community in public forum. | All | Upcoming (Virtual) Conferences for 2020 (let's add them here!) There is interest in a Digital Square maintained Calendar of Events. So we might eventually link with that calendar in the future
