Introduction to geospatial data management and technologies for PHDs Kampong Cham 6-8 February 2018

Welcome and Opening remark

Context of the training Aligned to the third Health Strategic Plan 2016-2020 (HSP3) which re-affirms the MoH’s commitment to meeting the stated long term vision of the health sector development. Strategic objectives No 6: “Health and health –related data/information are reliable, accurate, timely and of high quality and used together with results of sound health research” Key information system in Cambodia: Health Management Information System (HMIS) Patient Management Registration System (PMRS) Disease Surveillance Systems … Need for an integrated HIS Importance to ensure for all the systems to share the same geography, this is what we referred to as being geo-enabled The geo-enablement of the HIS has been included in the master plan under strategic priority area No 7 (Services, applications & tools) in order for the health sector in Cambodia to fully benefit from the power of geography, geospatial data and technologies Activities to span over 2017 and 2018 * With the objective in mind of realizing a sutainable operational use of GIS, and plugging into the existing the existing policy framework and technical environment in the health information system and immunization programs To do that we establish a reference framework which represents all the components that should be present in a country immunizatioin program for it to be geo-enabled we consider an immunization program as being “geo-enabled” when the 8 factors listed above are realized, and therefore where the benefits of GIS are realized in a sustainable way through (i) adequate institutional framework, (ii) data standardization and technical capacity, (iii) availability of core geo-registries, and (iv) operational use of geospatial data and technologies in the immunization program This model has been proposed by the AeHIN GIS Lab and is based on extensive consultation and experience with strengthening the use of GIS in country health information systems,

Context of the training - HIS geo-enabling An Information System that fully benefits from the power of geography, geospatial data and technologies Geography: The study of the natural features of the Earth, such as mountains and rivers – The Science Geospatial data: Also referred to as spatial data, information about the locations and shapes of geographic features and the relationships between them, usually stored as coordinates and topology – The Content Geospatial technologies: Refers to equipment used in visualization, measurement, and analysis of earth's features, typically involving such systems as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and remote sensing (RS) – The Tools 5
