This agenda is under construction and subject to change.
Session Types
Plenary: Keynote and panel discussions where attendees come together.
Conference Session: These sessions are chosen by the organizers based on community input around community proposed topics for unconference sessions and to highlight OpenHIE.

11:15 - 12:00 | Ballroom | Conference Session: Setting terminology, exchange, and security standards for electronic disease surveillance for the African region Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) was established in 2017 with authorities to harmonize disease control and prevention policies and surveillance systems and set standards for surveillance in Africa. Africa CDC embarked on an environmental scan to understand the extent of electronic information systems and technology in use for surveillance and the underlying information policies and standards that enable interoperability and continental data sharing and protection in Africa. Africa CDC also examined globally-available and relevant frameworks for electronic public health data exchange and standards organizations and communities of practice that can be leveraged to set terminology, exchange, and security standards for electronic disease surveillance for the African region.” | Dr. Jay K. Varma, U.S. Centers for Disease control and Prevention Senior Advisor to Africa CDC | Notes Page: https://notes.ohie.org/2019-11-05_Africa_CDC |
12:00 - 12:45 | Ballroom | Conference Session: Aligning HIS to Epidemic Control As countries approach HIV Epidemic Control and move towards the 95.95.95 objectives, their data needs vary depending on specific programmatic objectives. More and more, we see increasing needs for patient-level data to monitor patients through the treatment cascade. Single sourced data from Electronic Medical Records have also proven to be incomplete to tell the bigger picture. Data from service delivery systems, such as laboratory and logistics, are becoming essential to increase retention and tell a more complete story of a country’s HIV response. Data exchange and interoperability is now a required capability in our HIS eco-system. The data needs are changing both in variety and velocity. We are moving towards close-to real-time availability of patient-level as well as aggregate data to increase effectiveness as well as determine early course corrections and interventions. The indicators needed are also becoming more and more local and temporary to focus on specific programmatic activities. The analytics and visuals expected also require more predictive and prescriptive approaches using machine learning and advances in visualization. In general, we are now in a new era where data is integrated from multiple-systems; indicators are local and temporary, and our analytics needs are moving predictive beyond the diagnostic paradigm. | Presenter: Manish Kumar Facilitator: Nega Gebreyesus | Notes Page: https://notes.ohie.org/2019-11-05_Aligning_HIS_Epidemic_Control |

Come ready to add your own questions and challenges to the discussion!
