We have agreed that we want to define one specific user profile that we will use as a pilot for developing the trainings and then expand to other user profiles if time and capacity allows. Our understanding is that the regional hubs would be targets of interest however, we need to nail down, within the regional hubs, what kind of user profile we want to direct the course at. It would be helpful to understand a bit more the pool of competencies found within the regional hubs (health financing/economics experts, medical experts, IT experts etc.) and if they have any preferences. Do we want them to in the end have a basic knowledge of the software or should they be able to actually advise on implementation? All interesting points where we would appreciate your thoughts.
Outcome of discussion during IC call 03.02:
Regional hubs: rational behind targeting the regional hubs is to give the people who have access to decision-makers, the tools to talk about openIMIS and what an implementation requires (as targeting the decision-makers directly is unrealistic).
AeHIN: most of their members are academics and medical students (medical faculties of universities) but also health insurance agents, who are less familiar with the IT part. An overarching goal is to increase ICT participation in the hubs to make people feel more comfortable with the IT side.
ILO: need to increase understanding of IT governance, especially for mid-level business people. Also important that we somehow reach decision-makers.
GIZ: we also should keep in mind the overall social protection aspect. However, we need to be stick to what is actually applied right now, which is the health insurance sector. There is still room to include a part on social protection and how it could be applied in other settings within the course (one module for example)
