Infinity Systems Africa EOI_final.docx

Question from Carl: Talk more about the developer network: their skills, how you engage with them?

Answer: both front end and back end development; encourage team members to learn any skills that they want. They have IBM background so use IBM Watson a lot, but are not tied to any specific industry. Just try to ensure that skills that are needed are available

More on the relationship with Andela


WHO Digital Health GuidelinesCarl Leitner

One guideline around stock management, support of mobile apps

Wanted to call attention to this in case it is helpful for people.

Guidelines are available here. 

This is likely to be updated in 5 years, so will be around for a while. We should be referencing this in our advocacy work. This gives justification for funders as to why they are making investments in these technologies. now there is solid evidence for it


Trusted Partner UpdateRebecca Alban (Unlicensed)

Overview Final Version of Trusted Partner Declaration 

Purpose-create formal mechanism for partners to agree to OpenLMIS values, practices, and norms

Principal Contents- OpenLMIS shared values, ways for partners to contribute to and engage with the community, expectations of TPs in terms of engagement and contributions to new business efforts

No new information, just putting everything in one place for transparency

Period for final review–2 weeks

Next Steps:

Rebecca Alban (Unlicensed) to circulate this document to TPs today. All Trusted Partners should provide questions or feedback by June 4th (2 weeks)

Introduce Empower School of Health representatives:

  • Professor Paul Lalvani, Director Empower School of Health (Governance committee representative)
  • Sachin Jagtap  (Governance/Product committee)
  • Siddharth Srivastava (Product Committee)

InteroperabilityCarl Leitner

Interoperability (& Integration) -this is a series of resources on current state of interoperability as well as some future work. The Product Catalog Mgmt Tool is being kicked off-- global identifiers for health commodities

Update: a few threads going around related to supply chain interoperability; rationalizing and making indicators standards based; IHE profile called mADX will be going out for public comment within a few weeks

Are folks available to review. Indicator work is being folded into WHO workstream for digital health; they are building decision-support tools and guidance around indicators.

This can inform future funding opportunities in general, and particularly around stock indicators which are aligned with the Digital Health guidelines


Active Trusted Partner Outreach

Proactive vs Reactive approach:

Want to leverage our donor perspective to strategically be courting and selecting new partners. This input can help to inform our strategy for future conferences/events and our next community meeting

Is there interest in engaging in a needs assessment to guide active partner outreach? Yes

Opportunities Roundtable

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.
