The following Facility Registry (FR) capabilities enable interoperability between the health and supply chain domains.
Why is this important? See our Value Statement for an Integrated Health and Supply Chain.
- Ability for FR to include all facilities that can hold stock (warehouses, not just service delivery points)
- Ability for FR to capture multiple hierarchies, such as geographic and government administrative hierarchies that can differ from programmatic supervision hierarchies and differ from supply lines.
- Ability for FR to capture supply lines. By Supply Lines, we mean that product X comes to district warehouse Y from regional warehouse Z, for example.
