Description of Session
Currently, information about immunization is collected at facility and community through two separate forms and entered separately into the national reporting platform with attendant burden for data entry and potential for double count. This two data entry and management are managed by two government organizations across all the over 36 states in Nigeria. This presents an estimated 72 different government agencies with attendant data management burden. In addition, UN agencies and Non-governmental organizations are active data management organizations. This session will present a mobile application solution for tracking immunization information of a child between a Primary Health Center and community in a given ward. This application was developed to conform to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR). Participants will hear steps taken to profile the immunization registries into FHIR resource. They will also learn how the application prototype was developed and tested in preparation for piloting. Finally, participants will learn how this application is modelled to support joint data ownership and tracking through use of a Blockchain prototype.
