Study ToursRebecca Alban (Unlicensed) (2 min (smile));  Matthew Kumbuyo (Deactivated)

Had study tour in Malawi in December. Feedback was positive. Matt led and hosted Cameroon for 3 days including site visits, stakeholder discussions, brainstorming and demos in the office. Following up in coming days on next steps. 

Primary interest was challenges Malawi experienced with implementation and how resolved. Cameroon has 190 districts (compared to 30 with Malawi), and wanted to know complexity. Also interested in Moz SELF for immunization, stock management, DHIS integration. Wanted to know phased approach for implementation. Procurement allowed from private providers (and not just central warehouse). Follow-up with Angola that has similar procurement flexibility and Mozambique demo.

Feature Backlog: Feature Backlog

Feedback from OpenLMIS Implementers Meetings:

  • Knowledge sharing around Stock Management feature
  • Future expansion of Stock Management
    • More interaction with other ERP/Warehouse systems
    • GS1 (+1, barcodes!)
  • Everyone wants better offline use (esp. In Stock Management) +1 from Dercio
  • Expansion to more mobile options is desired (esp. for distributions) 
    • This could involve SIGLUS or OpenSRP (+1, MZ could benefit from this as well) 
    • Angola (through Dercio) expressed an interest in being able to utilize SIGLUS
    • SIGLUS currently working on upgrade to v3 (which would add mobile to future) 
      Wesley Brown to follow-up on timing (involving ThoughtWorks and PSM)
  • OpenLMIS-OpenHIE integration
    • FHIR
  • Extend into patient-level tracking through OpenSRP or OpenMRS
  • Expand/enhance reports
    • UI Improvement
    • Stock Management Reports
    • Technical/Deployment Improvements
  • Configuration Improvements
    • Simply for quick-setup in certain verticals (+2, currently a painful process)
    • Add visualizations for WYSIWIG config and easier validation
