WHAT WE DO | HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS

for the under-reached
Data is Vital for Effective Health Care Delivery
We design health information systems that provide health workers and supply chain professionals with the tools to aggregate and interpret data. By providing clear visibility into who is being reached and who is not, health information systems become the foundation for data-driven decision-making. They allow health workers to optimize their outreach and supply chain professionals to manage output, leading to better outcomes for all.
eLMIS: Supply Chain Digitalization
Many health workers and logisticians workers lack the reliable, accurate, and timely data needed to effectively manage public health supply chains with evidence-based decisions. An electronic logistics management information system (eLMIS) can improve, support and automate supply chain data collection and processes to ensure products are available as part of a robust, responsive primary health care system.
OpenLMIS is an open-source eLMIS software that is customizable and specifically designed for low-resource settings. To ensure the software’s sustainability and growth VillageReach transitioned management of OpenLMIS to private sector company Vitalliance Corporation.
Electronic Immunization Registry
Electronic Immunization Registry (EIR) and Electronic Medical Registry (EMR) are digital solutions that support the electronic tracking of patient data, such as digital immunization records. By working with governments and communities we tailor this solution to be country specific so health workers have access to more patient data, in turn providing higher quality health care.
Data Use and Analytics
EWF goes beyond building health information systems – we bridge the gap between data and action, driving change in practices and policies. Clear and engaging dashboards, that combine complex data sets and automate analysis reveal critical insights in a user-friendly format. But knowledge is only the first step. We develop tools that promote data-driven decision-making as a habitual practice for local and national governments to leverage the power of their existing data. Modernizing analytics enables governments to seamlessly integrate data-driven decision-making into their routine workflows.
