This document provides a high-level overview of Supply Chain Subcommunity activities anticipated for Q4 2018 - Q1 2019.

Areas to work in:

• 1 - Capacity Building
  
  • Introduction/education on Supply Chain for Health Domain Professionals
    • Include educational materials on GS1 standards and how it applies; OpenLMIS v3 Commodity Model; why move from a flat Product List to a GS1 Commodity Model.
    • Terminology for product identification.
    • User personas and user stories.
• 2 - Value Statement / 'why'
  • Finish documenting Documented the value of Supply Chain interoperability in the OpenHIE context. Make sure we remember the 'why' within the health context, for the health workers who use these systems and how it benefits patients.
  • Final October 2018 Document: Value Statement for an Integrated Health and Supply Chain
• Facility Registry alignment
  • Include supply chain concepts into OHIE Facility Registry: GLNs, including all facilities that can hold stock (warehouses not just SDPs), hierarchies (perhaps multiple), connecting supply chains (facility X is supplied for Family Planning products from warehouse Y, for vaccines from warehouse Z), etc.
• LMIS-HMIS Interoperability
  • OpenLMIS (gap project) is scoping interoperability and will share requirements with OHIE-SC (this will become an OHIE-SC workflow)
  • Discuss: (1) KPIs that add value; (2) architecture of how data is exchanged; (3) metadata alignment; (4) use cases/workflows; (5) capability statements.
    • Specifically discuss and coordinate around possible use of HL7 FHIR MeasureReport for ADX (see IHE Proposed Work Item: ADX on FHIR JSON).
  • Loop in work underway in countries: Malawi, Angola, and Tanzania.
• Product Registry / Product Master Data "source of truth"
  
  • Define stakeholders and define the problem
  • Provide working definition of a Product Registry and of the value of a Product Registry at multiple levels
• Identify Next Steps - what work needs to be done to develop working reference software?
