General Procurement Notice for Implementing DHIS2-EMR linked Syst with UIN for Longitudinal Tracking of HIV Combination Prevnt Interventions for HIV Populations in WVI Ops. Scope of Work Needs Assessment & Planning: Conduct a thorough needs assessment to understand the current data management and reporting systems in place. This should include hardware and network infrastructure requirement as well as human resources capacity requirement. Identify key stakeholders (healthcare workers, program managers, data managers, HIV Population) and engage them in the planning and implementation process. Develop a detailed project plan, including timelines, budget, and resource allocation. Develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for data collection, entry, and quality assurance. System Design & Development: Hardware Procurement: Procure/recommend hardware and deploy high-quality fingerprint scanners compliant with relevant industry standards. Middleware Development: Develop and implement secure middleware to integrate the EMR with the DHIS2. EMR Customization: Customize the EMR to capture and manage UIN data alongside relevant program data (e.g., demographics, service utilization, HIV status, risk assessment). Ensure data entry forms are user-friendly and align with national and international reporting standards. Ensure local health facilities are able to exchange data with an online instance for remote access and care continuum. Data Security: Implement robust security measures, including data encryption at rest and in transit, secure access controls, and regular system audits. Implementation & Training: Develop and conduct comprehensive training programs for all stakeholders, including healthcare workers, program officers, and data managers, on: The use of the EMR system as well as patient UIN system Data quality assurance and data cleaning Troubleshooting common system issues Data security and confidentiality Develop user-friendly manuals and quick reference guides for all users. Conduct pilot testing in selected sites to identify and address any challenges before full-scale rollout. Data Management & Quality Assurance: Establish and implement robust data quality control mechanisms, including regular data cleaning, validation, and data quality audits. Develop and implement a system for timely data review and feedback to program staff. Ensure data confidentiality and privacy in accordance with relevant ethical guidelines and regulations. Monitoring & Evaluation: Develop and implement a robust monitoring and evaluation framework. Collect and analyze data to assess the impact of the intervention on key performance indicators. Prepare regular progress reports and present findings to relevant stakeholders. Technical Support & Maintenance: Provide ongoing technical support and maintenance for the system, including troubleshooting, system updates, and data backups. Develop a system for long-term sustainability, including plans for local technical support and ongoing training. Capacity Building: Build the capacity of local staff in data management, system administration, and troubleshooting. 5.
