Thank you for your concept
Thank you for your concept note and next steps to expand this to a full proposal. Can you address how the time and attendence module could interact with payroll and other audit services for health workers? Please also make the contribution of Jembi more explicit other than applying what you develop for OpenMRS. Will Jembi be involved in the development of the work for iHRIS? If you have any diagrams on how the iHRIS and OpenMRS interfaces may connect, those would be helpful to add to the appendix of the full proposal. Finally, please also address the technologies you intend to use to collect biometric data and how those will sync with iHRIS.
It would be good to discuss
It would be good to discuss how the biometric signatures for providers would be made available in a a health worker registry, in particular around the use of HL7 FHIR standards (I believe that it can be added as a an additional identifier).
There are also ISO standards for biometric data (e.g. for generating the signature) that would be good to explain how this would be used (e.g. NIST/ISO 19794-2 ). Will you be targeting any particular hardware devices (e.g. simprints for fingerprints) or just doing an image capture?
Independent of the hardware, it could be interesting to leverage the simprints automatic fingerprint identification system https://github.com/Simprints/libAFIS/wiki . How will biometric workflows be documented and taken to the OpenHIE architecture group?
