ART-management software: Evaluation
-----------------------------------
Dear All
I am a medical doctor and have worked for MSF and WHO in Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Chad and Indonesia. I am currently writing my thesis for my Masters in International Health at the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel, Switzerland. The title will be: Inventory and evaluation of publicly available computer based ART-management software in high-prevalence HIV/AIDS settings with a focus on user perception. The study has a special interest on existing links between patient and pharmacy management. I am doing this research together with Phasuma (www.phasuma.com) a consultancy specialised in pharmaceutical supply issues in developing countries.
Most ART-projects are rapidly expanding and computer-software is developing fast. It would be of help for both EMR/supply software developers and users in ART-projects to get an up to date overview of current needs and solutions.
We would like to do the survey by sending an electronic questionnaire to developers and users.
If you are working in a ART-project working with computer software or if you are developing ART-management software and would like to be part of this study, please send an email to juerg.draeyer@stud.unibas.ch with the details of the person(s) to contact and we will send the questionnaire.
NOTE: Some examples of ART-management software: ARTISE, Care2x, Careware, EKAPA, ESOPE, Focamed, Fuchia, GAP Zimbabwe, HIP, iDart, MMRS, mSupply, MTCT+, OpenEMR, PIH-EMR, ProQ, Quantimed, SICLOM, SmartCare,TherapyEdge, WorldVista.
Yours sincerely
Juerg Draeyer
