  • Will be hosting Senegal later this month - CHAI and Senegal MOH
• Deploying v3.8 this Thursday (Great!)

Wes: SM Essential Med Issues

• Specific to Physical Inventory page
  • Changing a page removes the data entered from the previous page
  • Saves takes too long and at times it appears that not all of the data has been saved
  • Klaudia - Paging issue was fixed in v3.8 or v3.9

Wes: Dashboards are Superset reports?

• Enhanced the reports and added some new reports/filtering

• Matthew Kumbuyo (Deactivated) To find the bug for the SM saving issue

Implementing OpenLMIS v3 with PSM

• 5 programs being implemented
• Expanding the use of the software to provincial sites
• 30 facilities currently using the system (PEPFAR facilities)
  • 75% are using all 5 programs
  • 25% are using fewer programs, based on needs
• Using all the modules except CCE and Vaccine
• First to implement the Superset-based reporting stack
• OpenLMIS is now part of a PPP in Angola (the largest health network in the country)

• Dércio Duvane to share Lessons Learned document

Rebecca: More detail on the PPP (public private partnership)

• Effort to provide government services for a lower (or zero)rate
• Added difficulties of having additional stakeholders
• Targeting hospitals and warehouses
• Plugs into a health network that also uses DHIS2 and so OpenLMIS will need to integrate with it
• No change to the actual supply chain but may need to interface with additional WMS's in the future

Wes: How many facilities in total?

• Phase 2 - 100 (Provincial Hospitals/Warehouses)
• Phase 3 - 2,000 (Muni Hospitals and community health centers) - Might require tablets or other non-computer form-factor (1-2 years out)

Preparing for the Next Release (v3.10)
