Join us Thursday, 7 October, at 16:00 (CEST) to discuss what needs people have when it comes to building capacity around HIE and what tools are available to help.
You can post your questions ahead of, during, or after the session. Our moderators will check this thread for questions, and select some for responding to in the session, or follow up after the session has ended.
Feel free to respond to other questions or add to them if you have something to follow up with.
Do you have capacity building needs or tools and processes that you can share? We would love to hear about them?
Here are the capacity building supports and tools that the OpenHIE Community has to share so far. Help us make it better for all by providing input, ideas and feedback.
I’m looking forward to learning more about how we can help!
Hello! Could OpenHIE be used to develop clinical research data capture and management platform?
OpenHIE is an architecture standard with different recommended tools and interoperability standards. I think for your question, a solution such as DHIS2 can be used after looking at your requirements.
As stated by @ruky you can leverage the OpenHIE standards to bring together data collected from various data capture and management tools.
Please have a look at ODK, Ona, Kobotoolbox, Akvo RSR, OpenClinica, Commcare, Community Health Toolkit and DHIS2 these are more suited as research data capture and management solutions.
If you do provide your user requirements and use cases, community members will be in a better position to suggest an appropriate solution
Hello @munjoma!
Thank you for the list you have provided. Indeed, these are the tools I am looking for and I will look at their features. These software will be helpful in my research data capture and management.
On the other note, one of the steps in conducting clinical studies is recruiting eligible subjects. Is there a tool that could be integrated in EMRs that would trigger or prompt a care provider that the person they are treating is eligible for a clinical study? I believe that enrolling patients to a clinical study is a form of treatment and remains to be underexplored (partly because care providers and patients themselves are not aware of actively recruiting clinical studies). Even I, myself as a clinical research physician, is currently having a challenge in recruiting subjects for my study.
I hope the community will see the value of this “tool” I am envisioning and I am very much open to your suggestions and collaboration.
