Aug 21, 2020
The BID Learning Network (BLN) invites you to watch a webinar titled “Lessons from the Landscape Analysis of Electronic Immunization Registries,” with Jennifer Pancholi, senior manager for Digital Solutions at VillageReach.
In 2019, VillageReach launched a landscape analysis about the implementation of electronic immunization registries (EIRs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). During this webinar the presenter will discuss the findings of the analysis which revealed valuable insights for deployment of EIRs around four broad areas relating to sustainability, functional requirements, promising practices for deployment, and improving immunization coverage. The speaker will share the existing knowledge gaps that were identified and provide further direction for enhancing the usefulness and value of EIRs. For more information on the EIR landscape analysis report please visit the VillageReach website.
This webinar will be of interest to data management specialists, EPI managers, health management information system (HMIS) specialists, and other health care specialists committed to improving data collection, quality, and use across health systems.
