Increasing transparency and efficiency through electronic registries

We’d like to discuss how developing countries can transition to a digital system to promote transparency and accountability, while reducing corruption within health systems. As part of this discussion, we’ll present our experience working with USAID on the HIV Reform in Action (HIVRiA) and Health Reform Support (HRS) projects to create a paperless, transparent e-health system to register providers and patients. Through this system, we enable the Government of Ukraine to pay for specialized care services with fee-for-service or case-based payment mechanisms under the Program of Medical Guarantees and provide a platform for electronic health records.

During this session, we will provide an overview of the development trajectory of the OpenCRVS project, including the following: 1. Historical development of OpenCRVS from the initial development of a CRVS Digitisation Guidebook, development of an open source software solution using a human-centred design approach and pilot implementation in Bangladesh. 2. The functional architecture of OpenCRVS that will focus on the specific business processes that are presently served by OpenCRVS and how these are translated into functional specifications for software 3. The technical architecture of OpenCRVS that will focus on the software components and microservices used in OpenCRVS as well as the patterns and components derived from other open source global goods projects. 4. The proof of concept in Bangladesh, and how these lessons learnt can be used to inform future implementations in other low resource environments, including Africa Support from the international global goods community 5. Future directions of OpenCRVS, including its technical roadmap and the future functionality that will be developed in to OpenCRVS 6. Future implementations of OpenCRVS and OpenCRVS sustainability.
