PATH's Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded Introducing Digital Immunization information systems: Exchange and Learning from Vietnam (IDEAL-Vietnam) project is very excited to announce the release of their second case study: 

The Design, Development, and Deployment of an Electronic Immunization Registry in Vietnam: Reflections, guidance and global similarities 

Designing, developing, and deploying an electronic immunization information system can help to increase vaccination coverage, reduce burden on health care workers, and improve health outcomes. The process of introducing an electronic immunization registry (EIR) depends on a country’s specific context (technology, government, population); however, there are also similar trends shared by implementers of EIRs worldwide. This case study presents the Vietnam experience during the design, development and deployment of an EIR project along with key findings from guidance documents worldwide. The hope is that lessons learned from each stage presented in this case study will also help global audiences currently in any stage of an EIR project.

The Introducing Digital Immunization information systems - Exchange And Learning from Vietnam (IDEAL-Vietnam) is a PATH project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which has been working closely with Vietnam’s Ministry of Health in facilitating a successful transition from paper records to a completely paperless immunization record system. IDEAL Vietnam has been documenting the successes scored, challenges encountered and sharing evidence-based and data-driven learning and experience from Vietnam to inform, influence, and accelerate the successful implementation of similar tools in other countries and contexts. In this panel discussion the panelists will discuss lessons learned from Vietnam in the deployment of an electronic immunization registry (EIR) from design and development right through to national scale-up. The panelists will share the key drivers and barriers to successful deployment of EIRs while underscoring the importance of government commitment and stakeholder partnerships.

This webinar panel discussion will be of interest to Data Management Specialists, EPI Managers, Health Management Information System (HMIS) Specialists, and other health care specialists committed to improving data collection, quality and use across health systems.

PANELISTS
- Dr. Dang Thi Thanh Huyen- Vice Head, National Expanded Program on Immunization (NEPI)/ National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology, Vietnam
- Dr. Nguyen Tuyet Nga- Vietnam Country Director, PATH, Vietnam
- Mr. Dao Dinh Sang- Program Officer, PATH, Vietnam

PATH's Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded Introducing Digital Immunization information systems: Exchange and Learning from Vietnam (IDEAL-Vietnam) project is very excited to announce the release of their second case study: 

VIETNAM’S SCALE-UP FROM A DISTRICT-LEVEL PILOT
TO A NATIONAL-SCALE ELECTRONIC IMMUNIZATION REGISTRY (EIR)

This case study deep dives into lessons learned from Vietnam of a successful scale-up of an electronic immunization registry (EIR) from pilot to nationwide application. Successful scale-up is not an easy feat, and the process of moving from small- to large-scale operations in Vietnam was due in part to from-the-start planning, key partnerships, government commitment, and sustained collaboration. The webinar will highlight key facilitators and barriers, and focus on important partnerships that catalyzed the success of the scale-up process. 

You can find regularly updated project documents and further information about this project on our homepage (https://ideal.technet-21.org/).

Please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] for questions or comments on this case study or the IDEAL-VN project. 

Please join the PATH Introducing Digital Immunization information systems: Exchange and Learning from Vietnam (IDEAL-Vietnam) project for a webinar on scaling-up electronic immunization information systems. The webinar will take place on Thursday, February 27th at 1pm CET.

During the webinar the presenters will discuss lessons learned from Vietnam of a successful scale-up of an electronic immunization registry (EIR) from pilot to nationwide application. Successful scale-up is not an easy feat, and the process of moving from small- to large-scale operations in Vietnam was due in part to from-the-start planning, key partnerships, government commitment, and sustained collaboration.

The webinar will highlight key facilitators and barriers, and focus on important partnerships that catalyzed the success of the scale-up process. Government commitment was quintessential to the accomplishments in Vietnam, therefore it is with great excitement that the presenters for this webinar will be:

- Dr. Huyen Dang, Vietnam National Expanded Program on Immunization (NEPI)

- Dr. Nga Nguyen Tuyet, Vietnam Country Director

- Sang Dao Dinh, Vietnam Project Officer.

The format of the webinar will include an informational presentation, an interview with key NEPI and PATH staff members, and followed by a Q&A session. This webinar will present the findings discussed in the IDEAL-Vietnam project’s lessons learned case study that will also be released in February.
