World Health Organisation Tender

Background The Ntp In The Philippines Finds And Treats Approximately 350,000 People Each Year. The Program Includes Public And Private Health Care Providers Tasked With Finding, Testing, And Treating People For Tb As Well As Providing Preventive Care. The Complexity Of The Program And Diversity Of Implementers Requires Robust Standardized Approaches. This Ensures Each Filipino Is Given High-quality Care Regardless Of Who They Are And Where They Seek Care. While The Integrated Tb Information System (itis) Hosts The Majority Of Tb Program Data There Are Several Other Digital Systems And Applications That Have Been Developed And Implemented As Part Of The Tb Initiative And Has A Growing Need For Robust Data Reporting, Data Extraction And Data Sharing Across The Tb Applications Ecosystem. Problem Statement There Has Been Consistent Data Growth Annually And An Increasing Demand For Innovative Digital Solutions For Integration And Data Sharing.  Despite Continuous Efforts To Optimize Extracts, Data Loads And Queries, There Is Steady Increase In Load Times, Decrease In Overall Performance, User Experience And Challenges In Data Timeliness, Risking Failure Of Existing Integration And Data Sharing Between Applications.   Purpose/specific Objective Of The Activity The World Health Organization (who) Philippines Is Looking For A Contractual Partner For The Development, Implementation And Support Of Data Warehouse And Data Interoperability For Applications Under The National Tuberculosis (tb) Program (ntp).   Description Of Activities To Be Carried Out Implementation Of A Next Generation Data Warehouse Platform Enabling Easy Interoperability Between Different Tb Applications. The Scope Of The Engagement Includes: Understand And Review Existing Ecosystem Of Tb Applications. Gather Information From Stakeholders On The Needs For Current And Future Data, Reporting Needs. Identify Options Per Industry Best Practices For A Long-term Platform That Can Meet All Stakeholder Data And Reporting Needs.  Develop And Implement A Robust Data Warehousing Platform To Meet All Data Needs. Develop And Implement Global Standards-based Exchange (e.g. Hl7-fhir) Platform For Data Exchange, Data Extraction, Data Streaming And Data Reporting.  Implement Best Practices For Metadata Repository From Global Standards, Who’s Metadata Registry And Fhir Data Models. Also Develop A Data Dictionary Describing The Contents, Format, And Structure Of A Database And The Relationship Between Its Elements. Data Migration And Sync With Existing Applications Into The Data Warehouse. Test And Validate The Data Warehouse With Existing Tb Ecosystem And Applications Like Itis, The End Tb App Suite And Others. Using The Data Warehouse Platform’s Ability, Convert And Store Data From Multiple Sources Into A Consistent Format For Better Data Analytics And Data Insights. Create A User-friendly Data Dictionary And Metadata Repository. Help Improve The Overall Decision-making Process By Transforming Data Into Purposeful Information And Create More Useful Reports With Ease.  Create A Robust Mechanism To Remotely Import / Sync Data From Genexpert® Systems (hl7) And Similar Diagnostic Machines, Including Iot Devices. In Coordination With Who Philippines And The Department Of Health, The Selected Contractual Partner Shall Perform The Following Activities.
