Abstract
Lao PDR's Ministry of Health has problem with fragmented data, lack of standardization, and inability to interoperate hinder child health data collection. Electronic health information exchange (HIE) could improve data quality and shared child health records (SCHR). In this study we developed the SCHR by interoperating with existing healthcare systems. The FHIR IPS standards were customized based on data elements. 14 experts from the technical working group (TWG) had determined the minimum dataset for data transactions and system testing was analyzed on the HAPI FHIR server. Used FHIR IPS standards for interoperability within Client Registry (CR-DHIS2), Electronic Immunization Record (EIR-DHIS2) and Electronic Medical Record (EMR) works well for data transactions. The initial result of the SCHR could be able to provide a real target child and to monitor full vaccination. However, prior to the actual deployment of the system, it is necessary to validate it and guarantee the confidentiality and safety of the data.
