At the Center of Excellence for Applied Epidemiology, GHD|EMPHNET is working with several countries in utilizing information technology solutions and digital tools to contribute to improved public health services. GHD|EMPHNET is providing support for the use of appropriate technology solutions to solve public health challenges, development and design of appropriate technology solutions (tools) to enhance applied epidemiology, and the integration of technology to improve research and training in public health.
Online Learning
In keeping with its beliefs in the value of knowledge sharing and capacity building as means to achieve better health outcomes, GHD|EMPHNET has also developed an online Learning Management System, thus responding to training needs of FETPs in the region. This system is designed to provide some of the FETP training requirements online, and thus it closes gaps caused by geographical barriers to enter various parts of the region, as well as the other aspects of the socio/political unrest synonymous with this region that make face to face training, sometimes a challenge.
Technology in Public Health Services
GHD|EMPHNET’s technological know-how has enabled it to collaborate with different partners in the region towards increasing the efficiency of operations in various areas of public health. One such collaboration brings the Moroccan Ministry of Health (MoH) together with GHD|EMPHNET to enhance the surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) and other Vaccine Preventable Diseases (VPDs) throughout the country. A component of the project includes providing support for the MoH in digitalizing its current manual AFP notification system, thus enabling the latter to provide timely alerts regarding AFP cases reported in both private and public hospitals in the country. To date, the forms have been digitalized and a mobile application is in the making.
ICT developments were and are being used by GHD|EMPHNET to also collaborate with UNICEF and Iraq MOH in response to a necessity that has been identified in Iraq to strengthen the immunization supply chain and to support the country in achieving its goal for ensuring that vaccines are in the right place, condition, quantities, time and cost. To this effect, GHD|EMPHNET collaborated with UNICEF and Iraq MOH to conduct a Cold- Chain Equipment Inventory Assessment (CCEIA) throughout the country, using a web-based, mobile data collection tool.
GHD|EMPHNET joined forces with the WHO and UNICEF in the relaunched Effective Vaccine Management (EVM) framework project. This project is a comprehensive strategy designed for continuous, optimized, and innovative Immunization Supply Chain (ISC) quality management. As part of this strategy, a new EVM assessment package was developed whereby countries can conduct an in-depth review of their facilities and consequently create a comprehensive improvement plan in line with this review. This new assessment is performed via an online platform, the EVM 2.0 software, which is designed to enable countries to self-manage their EVM assessment and other related EVM information. Currently, this tool, in its beta version, is being tested across regions. The primary purpose of the in-country beta-testing is to test the software’s performance in the field prior to the official launch of the tool.
Technology for Organizational Development
GHD|EMPHNET started applying digital transformations internally. It developed its own Business Automated Workflow System (BAWS) as a means to manage all internal processes and reduce work, time, human resources and to minimize paper use. Additionally, GHD|EMPHNET also introduced for the first time, the online registration system prior to its Sixth Regional Conference held in March 2018. This system was designed to make the registration process for regional and high-traffic events both easier and more time efficient.
EpiShares, the Largest Network for Public Health Professionals in the Region
GHD|EMPHNET used advancements in social media to develop its own networking platform "EpiShares." EpiShares is the organization’s networking platform designed to join public health professionals and experts in a space where they can express thoughts, address concerns and discuss issues relevant to public health. Among other goals, the platform was also developed to ensure a mechanism for sharing information and experience. It is to serve as a home for public health experts, Field Epidemiology Training Programs' residents and graduates, or any community of practice joined by mutual interest, cause or concern. This platform stands out as the only one of its kind in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), as it utilizes advancements in social networking to create a space specific to the needs of public health professionals. It is also the only networking platform open to all, with free access and free entry, thus ensuring that information is abundantly available for those in the public health field.
