Description
CONTEXT
OPS eHealth Support Unit Vision statement
Field-focused, bottom-up approach, governance-minded, we aim to provide MSF operations dedicated digital services support for humanitarian medical services.
OPS eHealth Support Unit Mission statement
Médecins sans Frontières Operational Centre Brussels (MSF OCB) understands eHealth as the use in the MSF field of digital tools and electronic components of all kind for medical/operational purposes. This includes, but is not limited to, Telemedicine, GIS, UAV’s, mHealth, Health Information System, EMR…
We provide first line ICT services and tools, from needs analysis to solutions identification and project management. We identify new tools, assess proposed solutions, support with the implementation and day-to-day maintenance (directly or thought external partners), build and update the eHealth products catalogue. We capitalize on experiences and lessons learned and share them globally to ensure the best solutions for all projects.
Nature of the function
For years MSF has tried to build and operate eHealth/mHealth projects in the field with mixed results. Due to lack of project methodology, governance and poor communication, different issues have been observed: many stakeholders involved with little or no coherence and strategic overview, multiple eHealth tools deployed in OCB with little or no inter-operability, limited support planned, no sharing of good and bad experiences resulting in the reinvention of similar solutions, etc…
In order to resolve these issues, a mapping of all ongoing initiatives was done and a strategy to go forward was proposed. This includes the creation of an eHealth Unit in the OPS department to handle field requests for all eHealth projects and assure maximum return on investment of deployed eHealth systems.
Integrated within OCB headquarters OPS eHealth Unit and OCB ICT PMO, the GIS Project Manager manages the GIS requests from the field. Assuring technical expertise to the project, he is accountable for both Front & Back Office's deliverables towards the stakeholders. He also leads the GIS Data Visualisation Dashboard Project.
