v1.0 Release Notes

Impacted Services

Project:

• Implemented validation for updating the project start date and the end date. Implementing this ensures that any changes made to these critical campaigns adhere to the predefined criteria.

• Added the number of sessions field in additional details for the attendance registry, which enhances the system's ability to manage attendance tracking within projects. This field specifically denotes the frequency of attendance-taking sessions for a given project. Each session represents an instance where attendance is recorded, typically within a single day. For instance, if a project requires attendance twice daily (for example, morning and afternoon sessions), the number of sessions field would indicate ‘2’ to reflect this frequency. This information provides crucial context for understanding the attendance requirements and scheduling patterns within the project.

Individual:

• Added the ability to search by user UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) for individual search. This addition expands the search capabilities within the DIGIT-HCM platform, providing users with a more versatile and efficient means of locating specific individuals. A UUID is a unique identifier assigned to each user within the system. This new feature allows users to quickly retrieve information about a particular individual by entering their UUID into the search functionality. By leveraging UUIDs, which ensure each user has a distinct identifier, the search process becomes highly precise and reliable, minimising the risk of ambiguity or confusion, particularly in large datasets.

Referral Management:

Health Facility Referral Feature Update

New Feature: HF Referral

DIGIT-HCM now includes a Health Facility Referral (HF Referral) functionality that enhances the platform’s capability to efficiently manage referrals across health facilities. This addition is aimed at improving coordination and communication, ensuring a smoother referral process.

Stock Registry:

Enhance the inventory flow with the sender ID and the receiver ID added. Including sender and receiver IDs offers flexibility in handling inventory transactions within the DIGIT-HCM platform. Transactions can involve movement between warehouses, from warehouse to staff, from staff to staff, or any combination thereof. This accommodates various scenarios, such as inter-departmental transfers, internal requisitions, or supplier deliveries.

1. Sender Identification: The sender ID specifies the entity initiating the inventory transaction. This could be a warehouse, indicating that inventory items are being dispatched from a specific storage location. Alternatively, it could represent an individual staff member responsible for authorising the transfer of inventory items.

2. Receiver Identification: The receiver ID denotes the entity or individual receiving the inventory items. Similar to the sender ID, this could represent either a warehouse where the items are being delivered or an individual staff member who is the designated recipient.

Attendance:

Implemented offline-enabled functionality in the Attendance Module. Implementing this functionality in the attendance module significantly enhances the usability and reliability of the DIGIT-HCM platform, especially in environments where internet connectivity may be intermittent or unavailable.

Mission

Help countries achieve Health SDGs by building digital public goods that strengthen public health.

What are public health campaigns?

Health risks such as infectious diseases generally cannot be addressed at the individual and health worker levels alone. They require intervention at the policy level. This is where public health campaigns come into the picture.

Public health campaigns are specific, time-bound health services that respond to particular challenges and are provided to a target population by dedicated campaign workers. Such campaigns can influence perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors to achieve the desired goal. They can prevent or respond to disease outbreaks, control or eliminate targeted diseases, or achieve other health objectives. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), two strains of wild poliovirus have “officially been certified as globally eradicated,” and immunisation campaigns have played a key role in this. Over the years campaigns to fight malaria, AIDS and other diseases have not only improved the lives of millions of people in poor and developing countries and disadvantaged communities, but it has also enabled them to lead more productive lives.

In 2019, 534 campaigns were tracked globally, providing vaccines, drugs, vitamins, and preventative tools for malaria, malnutrition, measles, meningitis, NTDs, polio, tetanus, typhoid, and yellow fever. However, by the end of 2020, an estimated 50% of the public health campaigns were postponed, suspended, or canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This left millions of people and children at risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and malnutrition.

How can eGov help?

As health campaigns catch up on missed vaccinations, drugs, and other preventative measures globally, we have an opportunity to reimagine the way countries can plan and implement campaigns through open-source digital platforms. At eGov Foundation, we believe that designing & developing a DIGIT Health Campaign Management (HCM) product will enable countries, communities, and healthcare professionals to manage and implement health programmes more effectively. This also aligns with our aim of expanding capabilities in public health by reducing “diseases of poverty” such as malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis (TB) through digital tools.

DIGIT Health Campaign Management (HCM) is a free, fit-for-purpose, open-source product, built as a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), to help countries transform public health campaigns.
