Botswana Information Systems for Health Inter-Operability (BISHOP) Project - BUMMHI, a local organization established in 2015 with a strong record of PEPFAR implementation, in partnership with the University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), a global expert in health informatics, surveys and surveillance is proposing the Botswana Information Systems for Health Inter-Operability (BISHOP) project to provide a one-stop shop solution for CDC to oversee and lead the strengthening of the quality of HIV-related strategic information (SI) services in Botswana in response to CDC-RFA-GH20-2007. BUMMHI and UMB bring significant technical expertise in health information systems (HIS), having laid the foundation for the establishment of a secure and confidential Case Based Surveillance (CBS) database in Botswana adapted from the Case Report Form (CRF) developed on the DHIS2 platform, and providing an end-to-end national data repository solution for the Nigeria MOH and PEPFAR. BUMMHI and UMB will leverage their understanding of user challenges as a service delivery partner and user of PIMS to make quick adaptations and enhance utilization efficiencies for the EMRs. To build capacity efficiently, we will draw upon our experience developing curricula for various cadres and training with a method mix (eLearning and site-based). BISHOP will: • Foster sustainability by enabling a stable interoperable, harmonized and optimized system and building maintenance capacity of IT staff at all levels; • Cultivate utilization of systems by making the system more user-friendly and data through routine data review meetings; • Build capacity and empower the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHw) and IT staff through a mixed “plan-with, do-with” mentorship approach of training, on-site supportive supervision and routine remote data reviews. BISHOP offers a team of technical experts with a wealth of SI, HIS and HIV experience. Dr. Ndwapi Ndwapi, Principal Investigator, brings over 13 years of managing and providing technical expertise to PEPFAR funded programs, complemented by 6 years providing leadership to HIV prevention, care and treatment programming using SI data for decision making within the Botswana MOHw. Dr. Mark Ogbuabo, Project Director, brings over 14 years of experience supporting international health development programs in SI, HIS and supply chain management in Botswana and Nigeria. Ms. Kagiso Sebina, Project MEL Advisor, brings over 10 years of health data management and monitoring & evaluation of CDC, NIH and USAID funded HIV and medical education projects and clinical trials. Mr. Tawanda Chifamba, Snr. Systems Architect brings over 10 years of building applications, including being one of the core developers of the PIMS II application. Mr. Lesedi Bewlay, IT Project Manager has over 10 years experience successfully leading and managing IT projects through the software development cycle. Mr. Peter Kironyo, Director of Finance and Administration, brings over 15 years of experience in finance, administration, operations and human resources and has overseen annual portfolios of over $500M. Dr. Reson Marima, Evaluation Advisor, brings over 12 years of experience supporting CDC-funded programs and continually evaluates approaches in her current role as Director of Technical Services. Dr. Reshma Bhattacharjee , CBS Advisor, will also contribute substantially, drawing upon her previous experience as the Division Chief of HIV Surveillance in the Maryland Department of Health, where she coordinated, designed, developed, and managed the HIV/AIDS surveillance program funded by CDC. This senior management team will be complemented by further technical advisors, short-term assistance and district teams. Together, these approaches and team will strengthen and better integrate HIS, improve monitoring, and build a culture of data quality and utilization to inform HIV program implementation in Botswana, including implementation of surveys and surveillance activities with focus on a national CBS system.
