Comments

Thank you for your concept note and the expanded work you are doing to expand to a full proposal.  As you continue to develop this, please add the full proposal to the site in additional to the PDF.  It would be good to align this work with some of the other facility registry activities funded through Digital Square.  Please descibe how this would leverage the GOFR and Healtsites activities (Notice A and B respectively).  Regarding OpenHIE, can you explain in more detail how the OpenHIE Community will be leveraged?  You can reference this in the expanded technologies section of the proposal. Please also address sustainability beyond the life of this project, if it were to be funded, in your expanded proposal.

Thank you for your submission, in your fully developed proposal it would be great to claify whether the standards that are used for communication with existing and currently developed health facility registry services would be appropriate to sync data to a mobile app, and if not, how data would be synced without adding too much complexity.

Can you discuss in more detail about the proposed software stack for the mobile application? Will you leverage an existing tool (e.g. ODK2 https://wiki.digitalsquare.io/index.php/Digital_Square_Investments_in_Gl... or ODK https://proposals.digitalsquare.io/62) that can handle online/offline data synchronization and is geared towards this type of use case?

What will be the data model used for data capture - you mention OpenHIE, so presumably this is mCSD/HL7 FHIR?
