It is antic­i­pat­ed that the solu­tion will be imple­ment­ed in over 400 health facil­i­ties in Botswana. Intel­liSOFT is tasked with the devel­op­ment, deploy­ment, sup­port, and main­te­nance of the coun­try-wide EMR sys­tem. 

Impact:  It is antic­i­pat­ed that the solu­tion will improve the health care deliv­ery sys­tem in Bost­wana through bet­ter man­age­ment of patients and patient data. 

Project Brief: The Nation­al Can­cer Insti­tute of Kenya con­ducts rou­tine inspec­tions of can­cer facil­i­ties to ver­i­fy they meet a set of cri­te­ria pri­or to being approved and accred­it­ed as a can­cer facil­i­ty in Kenya. To make the inspec­tion process replic­a­ble across facil­i­ties, the NCI‑K came up with a paper-based scor­ing tool in the form of a check­list.  The aim of this project is to dig­i­tize this paper-based tool which can only be accessed by autho­rized per­son­nel. The tool is built using ODK‑X Sur­vey, ODK‑X Tables and ODK‑X Ser­vices, an Android appli­ca­tion for per­form­ing data col­lec­tion, view­ing cap­tured data and gen­er­at­ing reports in the ODK‑X frame­work.
Impact: Ensure that data col­lect­ed is stored secure­ly, in a dig­i­tal man­ner, with the capa­bil­i­ty of auto­mat­i­cal­ly scor­ing the facil­i­ty once the inspec­tion is com­plete to ver­i­fy a facil­i­ty is approved and accred­it­ed as a can­cer facil­i­ty in Kenya.

Project Brief: The PMI Kinga Malar­ia project is a USAID-fund­ed project imple­ment­ed through Abt Asso­ciates. The aim is to sup­port Indoor Resid­ual Spray­ing (IRS) activ­i­ties. IntelliSOFT’s role is to devel­op and imple­ment a mHealth solu­tion that will sup­port pro­gram­mat­ic Per­for­mance Mon­i­tor­ing Track­ing (PMT), and broad­cast mes­sag­ing (group SMS) to facil­i­tate uni­di­rec­tion­al allow­ing shar­ing of infor­ma­tion with work­ers and super­vi­sors sup­port­ing the IRS activ­i­ties, and super­vi­sor check­list form on mobile devices.

Impact: Reduce the bur­den of Malar­ia through Indoor Resid­ual Spray­ing. Addi­tion­al­ly, increase the local capac­i­ty to plan, imple­ment, and mon­i­tor IRS activ­i­ties in an envi­ron­men­tal­ly sound man­ner.  Over­all, con­tribute to strength­en­ing the capac­i­ty of  Kenya to plan and imple­ment safe, cost-effec­tive, and sus­tain­able vec­tor-con­trol inter­ven­tions against malar­ia.

Project Brief: Intel­liSOFT has estab­lished a con­sor­tium known as the Uwe­zo wa Diji­ti Kenya (UWADI-KE) which is an acronym in Swahili that lit­er­al­ly trans­lates to “Capa­bil­i­ty of dig­i­tal”. The con­sor­tium con­sists of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Nairobi’s Depart­ment of Com­put­ing and Infor­mat­ics and AuraSafi­ra. The key objec­tive of the UWADI-KE project is to achieve dig­i­tal and data trans­for­ma­tion through respon­si­ble and eth­i­cal invest­ments aimed at strength­en­ing dig­i­tal capac­i­ty to improve ser­vice deliv­ery in var­i­ous devel­op­ment sec­tors. UWADI-KE is well aligned with the Gov­ern­ment of Kenya’s Dig­i­tal Econ­o­my Blue­print that is intend­ed to sup­port the Government’s efforts and invest­ments in dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion for eco­nom­ic devel­op­ment as pri­or­i­tized through the Big 4 Agen­da.  This ini­tia­tive is specif­i­cal­ly anchored in the Skills and Val­ue pil­lar of the GoK’s dig­i­tal econ­o­my blue­print.

Impact: It is antic­i­pat­ed that upskilling dig­i­tal lead­ers with­in the pri­vate and pub­lic enti­ties with the Knowl­edge, Skills, and Atti­tudes of how dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion should be imple­ment­ed, will ascer­tain the Return On Invest­ment and impact for those invest­ments.

Intel­liSOFT has been lead­ing health infor­ma­tion exchange (HIE) frame­work sen­si­ti­za­tion and adop­tion activ­i­ties through lever­ag­ing net­works and rela­tion­ships with Africa CDC and sim­i­lar stake­hold­ers. Intel­liSOFT has also been con­tribut­ing tech­ni­cal expertise/guidance to gov­er­nance activ­i­ties as well as to the min­i­mum viable pack­age (MVP) for data inte­gra­tion by advis­ing on best prac­tices for use in open-source soft­ware devel­op­ment. Final­ly, Intel­liSOFT has devel­oped and imple­ment­ed proac­tive qual­i­ty improve­ment and assur­ance strate­gies.

Impact: This project is a step towards achiev­ing a dig­i­tal pub­lic address­ing health future cur­rent fun­da­men­tal chal­lenges. The antic­i­pat­ed impact includes the estab­lish­ment of the nec­es­sary pol­i­cy, gov­er­nance, and stan­dards frame­works need­ed to sup­port the devel­op­ment of e‑Health strate­gies, infor­ma­tion sys­tems, elec­tron­ic health infor­ma­tion exchange (HIE)s, and human resources for health.

Project Brief: This project is aimed at imple­ment­ing an approach to patient-lev­el mon­i­tor­ing through the use of a health infor­ma­tion exchange that sup­ports onboard­ing of mul­ti­ple dig­i­tal health sys­tems through HL7 FHIR-based inter­faces and an FHIR-based ter­mi­nol­o­gy ser­vices lay­er.

URL: https://github.com/IntelliSOFT-Consulting/digital_square_notice_d_wp4/wiki 

Impact: This will strength­en patient-lev­el report­ing by pro­vid­ing a com­mon way to 1) Con­nect and reg­is­ter data to a lon­gi­tu­di­nal client record, 2) Share indi­ca­tors across indi­vid­ual Point of Ser­vice (PoS) appli­ca­tions through the use of HL7 FHIR pro­files, and 3) Extract indi­ca­tor data from patient-lev­el indi­ca­tor cal­cu­la­tions per­formed on a lon­gi­tu­di­nal client record.

Project Brief:Through a con­sor­tium, Intel­liSOFT is sup­port­ing the devel­op­ment of a mater­nal health infor­ma­tion sys­tem (MHIS) dubbed Mama’s hub to address the spe­cif­ic chal­lenge of infor­ma­tion man­age­ment (col­lec­tion, stor­age, analy­sis, and dis­sem­i­na­tion) in the area of mater­nal health as a means to the pro­vi­sion of bet­ter ser­vices to moth­ers and their chil­dren. The solu­tion will allow for a de-iden­ti­fied and aggre­gat­ed view of the mater­nal health data across the select loca­tions which will fur­ther inform pol­i­cy and oth­er inter­ven­tions for mater­nal health. In the spir­it of the dig­i­tal prin­ci­ples ‘col­lab­o­ra­tion’ and  ‘reuse and improve’, this project is lever­ag­ing the exist­ing work from WHO’s ANC dig­i­tal accel­er­a­tor kit to dig­i­tize Kenya’s Min­istry of Health Moth­er and Child Book­let (MCB).  The MHIS lever­ages the WHO ANC Stan­dards-Based, Machine-read­able, Adap­tive, Require­ments-based and Testable (SMART) guide­lines with the build­ing blocks being derived from the WHO ANC Dig­i­tal Adap­ta­tion Kit (DAK).

Impact: The solu­tion will ensure Uni­ver­sal Mater­nal Health Cov­er­age in under­served coun­ties and vul­ner­a­ble pop­u­la­tion groups in Kenya, reduce pre­ventable mor­tal­i­ty and mor­bid­i­ty. The antic­i­pat­ed impact includes prop­er infor­ma­tion man­age­ment that will sup­port the deliv­ery of ante­na­tal care (ANC) by health­care providers ensur­ing a pleas­ant ANC care expe­ri­ence for the moth­ers.

Project Brief: Intel­liSOFT pro­vid­ed tech­ni­cal assis­tance and over­sight ser­vices to estab­lish the Nation­al Health Client Reg­istry (NHCR) and imple­ment an Elec­tron­ic Med­ical Records Sys­tem (EMR), con­tribut­ing to improved devel­op­ment, imple­men­ta­tion, and sus­tain­able sup­port and main­te­nance of these sys­tems. Intel­liSOFT devel­oped a soft­ware qual­i­ty review approach and frame­work to (i) guide assess­ment of the sys­tems, (ii) sup­port mon­i­tor­ing and eval­u­a­tion of the pilot imple­men­ta­tion of the EMR, (iii) pro­vi­sion of rec­om­men­da­tions for its scale-up, and (iv) sup­port sus­tain­able tran­si­tion and trans­fer of knowl­edge to the Tan­zan­ian Min­istry of Health, Com­mu­ni­ty Devel­op­ment, Gen­der, Elder­ly and Chil­dren (MOHCDGEC).

The PvERS is cur­rent­ly under­go­ing sig­nif­i­cant struc­tur­al and func­tion­al upgrades neces­si­tat­ed by advance­ments in tech­nol­o­gy and busi­ness prac­tices of phar­ma­covig­i­lance.

Demo: http://45.79.161.190/

Impact: The cur­rent upgrade hopes to sup­port report­ing of Adverse events fol­low­ing immu­niza­tion (AEFI), Link PVERs sys­tem with Clin­i­cal Tri­als Reg­istry, improve data use and report­ing by automat­ing and updat­ing forms, inte­grate the PvERs appli­ca­tion with the KHIS to sup­port aggre­gate data report­ing on safe­ty reports and offer improved user man­age­ment and sys­tem secu­ri­ty through authen­ti­ca­tion.

Project Brief: Con­fig­u­ra­tion and cus­tomiza­tion of e‑Hospital  to: 

1. Enhance the queue man­age­ment sys­tem,
2. Sup­port improved data use and report­ing,
3. Feed­back and user man­age­ment of the sys­tem and
4. Inte­grat­ing e‑Hospital to M‑TIBA via an Appli­ca­tion Pro­gram­ming Inter­face (API).

URLS: https://45.33.88.190/

Impact:  Antic­i­pat­ed to sup­port sev­er­al health facil­i­ties and will be imple­ment­ed in phas­es to also be used as a learn­ing point for future imple­men­ta­tions. The patients who will ben­e­fit from this pro­gramme will have access to qual­i­ty health­care with the use of M‑TIBA, a mobile insur­ance ser­vice, thus, have an eas­i­er alter­na­tive form of pay­ment and access to health­care for peo­ple with low income and who are from low income areas.

Project Brief: Intel­liSOFT was con­tract­ed to design, cus­tomize and deploy tech­nol­o­gy to strength­en the cross-bor­der health sys­tem through the Cross-bor­der Health Unit (CBHU) mod­el to enable the con­tin­u­ous and real-time gen­er­a­tion and shar­ing of health infor­ma­tion between health facil­i­ties and sup­port the con­tin­u­um of care for HIV, TB. FP/RH and MNCH for mobile cross-bor­der pop­u­la­tions. Instead of re-invent­ing the wheel and build­ing a new dig­i­tal health solu­tion to address the CBHU’s needs, Intel­liSOFT lever­aged pre-exist­ing EMRs and cus­tomized them while imple­ment­ing the cross-bor­der dig­i­tal health solu­tion.  Ref­er­enc­ing the Open­HIE archi­tec­ture, we devel­oped mod­ules in KenyaEMR and through AMPATH repli­cat­ed the same in their Elec­tron­ic Med­ical Records sys­tem, the AMPATH Med­ical Records Sys­tem (AMRS) to enable real-time shar­ing of health infor­ma­tion between the two sys­tems. In addi­tion to deploy­ing the solu­tion to select facil­i­ties, we designed and facil­i­tat­ed the train­ing of the antic­i­pat­ed users at both the facil­i­ty lev­el and coun­ty lev­el.

Demo: www.fhi360.org/projects/cross-border-health-integrated-partnership-project-cb-hipp

Impact: TThe CB-HIPP ini­tia­tive is inte­gral­ly linked to the Dig­i­tal Region­al East Africa Com­mu­ni­ty for Health (REACH) Ini­tia­tive as a micro-imple­men­ta­tion of the Dig­i­tal Health Inter­ven­tion at a cross-bor­der region. The Cross bor­der Dig­i­tal Health Solu­tion has inter­con­nect­ed health facil­i­ties and health sys­tems to enable applic­a­ble data shar­ing across select­ed bor­der facil­i­ties (with­in and across bor­ders) in the cross-bor­der areas and enhanced link­age with local, nation­al, and region­al data ware­hous­es includ­ing DHIS2 and oth­er EMRS in use in the select­ed facil­i­ties.

Project Brief:

Intel­liSOFT is col­lab­o­rat­ing with Safari­com, GSMA, Care­pay, and Savan­nah Infor­mat­ics Lim­it­ed to devel­op a mobile-based Dig­i­tal Health Pass­port that will enable patients to share real-time med­ical infor­ma­tion with med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers.

Intel­liSOFT set up an Unstruc­tured Sup­ple­men­tary Ser­vice Data(USSD) Appli­ca­tion and a per­son­al health record mobile appli­ca­tion that will be avail­able on both Android and iOS plat­forms to enable patients to access their med­ical records, share the same with med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers as and when required. Using the Fast Health­care Inter­op­er­abil­i­ty Resources (FHIR), Intel­liSOFT has imple­ment­ed the appro­pri­ate chan­nels for data exchange to be done in a struc­tured, stan­dard-com­pli­ant, and under­stand­able for­mat between the provider and patient-fac­ing appli­ca­tions.  The mobile appli­ca­tion will com­ple­ment the USSD appli­ca­tion that cur­rent­ly allows users with fea­ture phones to use the plat­form.

USSD: *522#

Impact: This robust solu­tion will empow­er and pro­vide con­sumers of health­care ser­vices and providers of health­care ser­vices,  a mech­a­nism to col­lect, store, own, access, con­trol, and review their health infor­ma­tion. This will enable the con­ti­nu­ity of care and reduce dupli­cate and erro­neous patient data there­by sav­ing patients unnec­es­sary costs regard­less of the providers or facil­i­ties they vis­it. It will also trans­late to pro­vid­ing med­ical prac­ti­tion­ers with rel­e­vant patient infor­ma­tion in a time­ly man­ner, thus enabling them make evi­dence-based patient man­age­ment deci­sions par­tic­u­lar­ly for con­ti­nu­ity of care,  and reduce cas­es of mis­di­ag­no­sis thus sav­ing patients unnec­es­sary costs.

Project Brief: Con­fig­u­ra­tion of Bahm­ni to sup­port the deliv­ery of men­tal health ser­vices. The pri­ma­ry role of Intel­liSOFT is to adapt Bahm­ni for use of telemed­i­cine for men­tal health patient work­flows start­ing in Ghana.

Impact:  The sys­tem has been cus­tomized to fit and sup­port the men­tal health patient work­flows.

Project Brief: Intel­liSOFT Con­sult­ing was con­tract­ed to devel­op new fea­tures and enhance the UI/UX of the open-source LMIS, OpenELIS glob­al. Intel­liSOFT devel­oped the Non-Con­for­mi­ty Events fea­ture into the sys­tem. This is a stan­dard oper­a­tional pro­ce­dure in lab­o­ra­to­ries. Intel­liSOFT devel­oped wire­frames to enhance and have a mod­ern­ized out­look of the UI/UX.

URL: https://global.openelisci.org:8443/OpenELIS-Global/LoginPage.do

Impact: The new fea­ture aims at allow­ing lab­o­ra­to­ry tech­ni­cians to report on such events based on stan­dard oper­at­ing pro­ce­dures and the set work­flows once users upgrade to the lat­est sta­ble release of OpenELIS.

Project Brief:

Con­tract­ed by Intra­Health, Intel­liSOFT devel­oped and imple­ment­ed an Elec­tron­ic Med­ical Record Sys­tem (EMR) to sup­port South Sudan’s Nation­al HIV pro­gram. 

The South Sudan EMR (SSEMR) is an adap­ta­tion of IntelliSOFT’s flag­ship prod­uct, eHos­pi­tal- an EMR sys­tem built on Bahm­ni. By embrac­ing the Prin­ci­ples for Dig­i­tal devel­op­ment which empha­sizes a user-cen­tric approach, we worked with antic­i­pat­ed users to design the work­flows, clin­i­cal forms, and reports required for the sys­tem, enabled sync­ing and exchange of data between the facil­i­ties, and inte­grat­ed the EMR into the nation­al Health Man­age­ment Infor­ma­tion Sys­tem (HMIS) for aggre­gate data report­ing.

The next phase will scale up the EMR to oth­er pub­lic health facil­i­ties as guid­ed by the South Sudan MOH.

Demo: The South Sudan Elec­tron­ic Med­ical Records Sys­tem Case study

Impact: The South Sudan EMR is the first-ever EMR imple­men­ta­tion in the young state of South Sudan and has been deployed at two high-vol­ume health facil­i­ties, Juba and Nimule. This has strength­ened the col­lec­tion of HIV patients’ infor­ma­tion result­ing in con­tin­ued care and time­ly inter­ven­tion. Fur­ther­more, the project has enabled Intel­liSOFT to also gain a foot­print in South Sudan which is a Part­ner State of the East African Com­mu­ni­ty (EAC), and paved the way for future col­lab­o­ra­tion in scal­ing up the EMR to addi­tion­al facil­i­ties.

The goal was to improve the over­sight func­tion at both the Nation­al lev­el, improve com­pe­tence at the insti­tu­tion­al lev­el, and facil­i­tate com­mu­ni­ca­tion between reg­u­la­tors and the IRECs, and last­ly to pro­vide an oppor­tu­ni­ty for shar­ing best prac­tices and net­work­ing by build­ing a com­mu­ni­ty of sup­port and learn­ing. This project is described by 3 C’s: Compli­ance (improv­ing func­tions for over­sight of clin­i­cal tri­als), Capac­i­ty (build­ing tech­ni­cal capac­i­ty through train­ing in Bioethics, phar­ma­covig­i­lance, clin­i­cal mon­i­tor­ing, and research admin­is­tra­tion), and Commu­ni­ty (build a net­work for shar­ing and a com­mu­ni­ty of best prac­tices through sem­i­nars con­fer­ences and online con­sul­ta­tion).

Demo: http://www.kemri.org/14-kemri-centres/hatua-kenya-project/

Impact: Sup­ports the two key func­tions of the PPB; reg­u­la­tion of med­i­cines and review of clin­i­cal tri­als and use of med­i­c­i­nal prod­ucts and tech­nolo­gies for use in humans.

Project Brief:

The Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals (SDGs) Mon­i­tor­ing and Report­ing Sys­tem for Africa is a dig­i­tal solu­tion devel­oped by Intel­liSOFT to pro­vide the Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals Cen­ter for Africa (SDGC/A) and the African gov­ern­ments the abil­i­ty to track and report on the 17 Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals (SDGs) and Agenda2063(A2063) . Intel­liSOFT devel­oped a solu­tion con­sist­ing of 3 sub­sys­tems that work togeth­er seam­less­ly to mon­i­tor and report at a coun­try and con­ti­nent lev­el. 

The 3 sub­sys­tems are:

a) The Nation­al MRS which is host­ed by the report­ing coun­tries and whose pur­pose is to enable coun­tries to track their SDGs and A2063 per­for­mances.

b) The Pan-African MRS which is host­ed at the SDGC/A head­quar­ters in Kigali Rwan­da and allows visu­al­iza­tion of aggre­gate data from the coun­tries that pro­vide con­sent. The Cen­tre does not have direct access to any country’s data and can not edit the data shared with them.

c) A Data Por­tal which is a pub­lic Web por­tal with enhanced and dynam­ic visu­al­iza­tions to allow access to and easy con­sump­tion of data by the pub­lic.

This project sup­ports African coun­tries in their endeav­or to achieve the Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment Goals (SDGs) through i) Strength­en­ing, cen­tral­iz­ing, and/or upgrad­ing exist­ing nation­al data col­lec­tion, analy­sis, and report­ing sys­tems. ii) Sup­port­ing the devel­op­ment of a nation­al data col­lec­tion, analy­sis, and report­ing sys­tem in coun­tries where they do cur­rent­ly exist. 

Intel­liSOFT uti­lized an open-source solu­tion called DHIS2 to devel­op this sys­tem in which the client (SDGC/A) and the pilot coun­try (Benin) were great­ly involved from con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion to imple­men­ta­tion to ensure the sys­tem met the expec­ta­tions of the end-user and fits into their process flows. This sys­tem is expect­ed to be imple­ment­ed in all 54 African coun­tries.

Project Brief:

Intel­liSOFT is con­tract­ed by the CDC-Foun­da­tion to design, devel­op and imple­ment an mHealth sys­tem aimed at improv­ing blood donor base in Kenya and pro­mot­ing donor reten­tion for suc­ces­sive repeat dona­tions. The goal of this project is to sup­port the government’s pol­i­cy that every per­son in Kenya who requires blood has access to safe blood at any time. This is enshrined in the Nation­al Strat­e­gy on Blood Donor Mobi­liza­tion of the KNBTS, to ensure an ade­quate sup­ply of donat­ed blood to meet the needs of Kenya. Addi­tion­al­ly, this imple­men­ta­tion is also intend­ed to sup­port var­i­ous pub­lic health inter­ven­tions aimed at improv­ing con­ti­nu­ity of care for donors who may require health ser­vices. 

Impact: Increased effi­cien­cy and improved con­ti­nu­ity of care for donors.

Project Brief: Intel­liSOFT was sub­con­tract­ed by I‑TECH (Uni­ver­si­ty of Wash­ing­ton), to pro­vide exper­tise in spe­cif­ic aspects of cus­tomiz­ing Open­MRS for the Min­istry of Health in Kenya. Under this con­tract, Intel­liSOFT was tasked with devel­op­ment of appro­pri­ate user inter­faces of the Kenya EMR (https://demo.kenyaemr.org/openmrs/login.htm, username:demo / password:demo) to sup­port fur­ther cus­tomiza­tion and exten­sion of the func­tion­al­i­ty of the Kenya Open­MRS to meet evolv­ing needs of the Min­istry of Health. As a core mem­ber of the devel­op­ment team, Intel­liSOFT par­tic­i­pat­ed in work­flow design that influ­enced the devel­op­ment and imple­men­ta­tion approach of the Kenya EMR. This approach is in line with a fun­da­men­tal pub­lic health approach of not only strength­en­ing health sys­tems, but active­ly seek­ing strate­gies that sup­port sus­tain­able health solu­tions.
