BLN Webinar: Lessons Learned in Scaling Up: How TDH is Deploying an m-Health Application in 600 Clinics in Burkina Faso

The BID Learning Network (BLN) invites you to join a webinar entitled “Lessons Learned in Scaling Up: How TDH is Deploying an m-Health Application in 600 Clinics in Burkina Faso.”

In 2013, Terre Des Homme (TDH) together with the Ministry of Health in Burkina Faso developed the Integrated e-Diagnostic Approach (IeDA), an innovative m-Health strategy that combines the use of mobile technologies and quality improvement methodologies for the Registre Electronique des Consultations (REC), an electronic registry for patient consultations. In this webinar, our speaker from TDH will share the achievements, pitfalls, and lessons learned from the implementation of the IeDA, which has seen the scaling up of the m-Health project to 30% of all health facilities in Burkina Faso.  The project has also digitized the WHO protocol on Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) and has deployed its m-Health solution to 600 clinics in 16 districts and four regions across the country.  The presentation will also share the importance of working together with local communities throughout the project life cycle.

This presentation should be of interest to Data Management Specialists, EPI Managers, Health Management Information System (HMIS) Specialists and primary health care specialists committed to improving immunization data management systems.

Join our speaker, Mr. Guillaume Foutry on Thursday 29th June 2017 from 16:00 hours to 17:00 hours CAT [Central African Time] or 14:00 hours to 15:00 hours GMT.
