Health Systems and Digital Health Solutions Topic: Digital Health Systems Lifecycle | Free Global Good OpenHIE | This guide is designed to help ministries of health, implementers and others involved in establishing eHealth architecture and health system project teams get started with health information exchange. Over the past few years, we have observed that some implementers choose to start their journey by working in a specific OpenHIE component like a facility registry. Other implementers may choose to start with a health exchange project that allows for sharing of health data. While a third group started at a more foundational level like doing an eHealth Architecture or blueprint project. Each of these starting points has benefits and challenges. Ultimately, the components, the data exchange projects, and the architecture are needed to benefit fully from health information exchange and none of these pathways is mutually exclusive. The path toward data exchange is a multi-faceted journey that will take time. | Health Information Exchange Getting Started Guide |

Governance & Leadership Topic: Leadership and Empowerment | Free Global Good | Over recent decades, countries have made significant investments in the improvement of their health information systems (HIS) to respond to the ever-increasing demands for new and better data. Due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, decision-makers and broader populations have recognized the importance of resilient and robust HIS, with a trend of increased investments over the past two years (1). Multiple digital tools and platforms have been developed or embedded into current systems in Member States (2). A common challenge, however, is that health information workforces (HIWs) do not have the robust capacities to participate in data generation, processing, analysis and usage in a reliable, consistent and timely manner, which minimizes the impact of investments made in HIS development. | Data Management Competency Framework |
