Conceptualizing and implementing a health workforce registry in Nigeria

BackgroundNigeria’s health sector aims to ensure that the right number of health workers that are qualified, skilled, and distributed equitably, are available for quality health service provision at all levels. Achieving this requires accurate and timely health workforce information. This informed the development of the Nigeria Health Workforce Registry (NHWR) based on the global, regional, and national strategies for strengthening the HRH towards achieving universal health coverage. This case study describes the process of conceptualizing and establishing the NHWR, and discusses the strategies for developing sustainable and scalable health workforce registries.Case presentationIn designing the NHWR, a review of existing national HRH policies and guidelines, as well as reports of previous endeavors was done to learn what had been done previously and obtain the views of stakeholders on how to develop a scalable and sustainable registry. The findings indicated the need to review the architecture of the registry to align with other health information systems, develop a standardized data set and guidance documents for the registry including a standard operating procedure to ensure that a holistic process is adopted in data collection, management and use nationally. Learning from the findings, a conceptual framework was developed, a registry managed centrally by the Federal Ministry of Health was developed and decentralized, a standardized tool based on a national minimum data was developed and adopted nationally, a registry prototype was developed using iHRIS Manage and the registry governance functions were integrated into the health information system governance structures. To sustain the functionality of the NHWR, the handbook of the NHWR that comprised of an implementation guide, the standard operating procedure, and the basic user training manual was developed and the capacity of government staff was built on the operations of the registry.ConclusionIn establishing a functional and sustainable registry, learning from experiences is essential in shaping acceptable, sustainable, and scalable approaches. Instituting governance structures that include and involve policymakers, health managers and users is of great importance in the design, planning, implementation, and decentralization stages. In addition, developing standardized tools based on the health system's needs and instituting supportable mechanisms for data flow and use for policy, planning, development, and management is essential.

Государство в цифровом преобразовании управленческих процессов: от электронного документооборота к цифровым экосистемам

This article explores the changes arising from the introduction of information and communication technologies in public administration using an institutional approach. Practical examples are used to consider transformations in the way government institutions interact with citizens and organizations, as well as new emerging opportunities in the provision of public and socially important services. The author analyses both the retrospective formation of centralised government information systems in countries that have reached digital maturity, the formation of electronic, digital and smart governments, and the emerging trends of the next round of digital transformation - the development of interstate digital ecosystems and regional digital environments of megacities and urban agglomerations. In particular, the article examines the steps taken by the US government in the early 21st century to establish electronic interaction between government agencies and to create a system for delivering public services that excludes personal contact by citizens and companies. It then identifies technologies that have subsequently enabled other countries to make the transition to fully digital governmental information. A significant innovation that, in the author's opinion, determined the further vector of transformation of administrative processes was the integration of payment and government information systems. Such a technological solution, implemented through a closer partnership between government and corporate entities, combined with the spread of individual mobile digital devices – smartphones and tablets – has become the basis for the development of unified digital platforms designed to optimize both the provision and receipt of virtually all socially important services. The article also examines the role of government information systems in the development of the data economy and highlights emerging models of government regulation in this area. The following trends of digitalization in the public sector are analysed as relevant: regulators of digital ecosystems acquiring the ability to provide digital services to extraterritorial communities, scaling digital infrastructure in territories with high population concentration when implementing economic development projects and introducing digital technologies in the social sphere.

New organizational mechanisms of infrastructure development of small agricultural businesses in Russia

The developed infrastructure of a small agricultural business (ISAB) ensures the innovative development of production of small enterprises of the agro-industrial complex (AIC), solves social problems of rural areas and provides employment for the rural population, performing a number of functions, including: property, financial, consulting, information, legal, innovative , social and export support for small agricultural businesses (SAB). The aim of the study is to identify the problems of the infrastructure development of the SAB and search for their solutions. The methods of generalization, economic and mathematical modeling, functional analysis were used, the data of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the reporting of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, publications of foreign and domestic authors and other sources served as the material for the study. It was proposed to use the institution of “commercial procurement”, to functionally expand the “financial” service, to organize a Single Industry Center for Infrastructure Development (Center), which will ensure effective interaction of all participants through the use of a digital platform based on a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The platform needs to be integrated with government information systems that support the infrastructure development of the SAB. The cluster organization of infrastructure facilities will increase efficiency, will contribute to the concentration of resources and their greater purposefulness. The main result of the implementation of new organizational mechanisms should be the effective development of the IMAB.

STATE AND PROBLEMS OF THE INFORMATION MECHANISM OF PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF MONITORING OF THE STATE OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OBJECTS IN UKRAINE

The information mechanism of public management of monitoring of condition of potentially dangerous objects is analyzed. It is determined that today there are problems with the functioning of the modern Unified State Civil Protection System, namely: problems with the functioning of the Unified Information Environment for the prompt supply of data to monitor the condition of potentially dangerous objects; incomplete creation of the Government information and analytical system on emergency situations; only partial automation of the processes related to the organization of the dialogue "dispatcher - applicant" in the regulation of the passage of information in the system of emergency assistance to the population on a single telephone number 112. For Ukraine, the full integration of the subjects of national monitoring into a single system, the development of a single methodology for collecting, accumulating and transmitting monitoring information remains a problem. Therefore, the legislation defines tasks only for the national system of monitoring and control through the collection, processing and transmission of information on the state of the environment, contamination of food, food raw materials, feed, water with radioactive, chemicals, microorganisms and other biological agents.

Extended Strategic Alignment Model (SAM) for Information Systems Governance

Extended Strategic Alignment Model (SAM) for Information Systems Governance

Extended strategic alignment model for information systems governance

The information systems (IS) of universities are at the heart of changes of various origins: the evolution of the processes they support and the evolution of information technologies (IT). Studies have shown great interest in strategic alignment to the private sector rather than to the public sector especially in universities. Moreover, through a review of the literature, it became apparent that there is no formal model of strategic alignment in universities. Therefore, this paper aims to take an exploratory approach to: 1) understand strategic alignment; 2) evaluate its implementation within universities; 3) adapt its mechanisms by proposing a new model of strategic alignment in universities based on the most widely used model (SAM). The result shows that the implementation of this proposed model can help universities achieve these goals and improve their competitiveness and effectiveness.
