Areas to work in:
- 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) good/better/best approaches.
- Loop in work underway in countries: Malawi, Angola, and Tanzania.
