Scout Admin

An web based scout group admin system. Designed for the South African Scouting environment, but should work with any Scouting programme.

iHRIS Manage

iHRIS Manage is a human resources management tool that enables an organization to design and manage a comprehensive human resources strategy. iHRIS Manage is developed by The Capacity Project, an innovative global initiative to help developing countries build and sustain the health workforce. iHRIS ... [More] Manage helps an organization manage its workforce more effectively and efficiently, while reducing costs and data errors. iHRIS Manage is primarily intended to be used to manage health care workers employed by a country's Ministry of Health, a hospital or other large health care organization, or a private provider of health care services. However, it may be readily adapted to other types of organizations and workforces. [Less]

iHRIS Qualify

iHRIS Qualify is a health worker training, licensing and certification tracking system. The system enables a licensing or certification authority for a health worker cadre, such as nurses or physicians, to track data on the complete cadre in a country from pre-service training through attrition. ... [More] This system is also capable of tracking continuing medical education attained by health workers, capturing data about foreign-trained workers applying to work within the country and recording out migration verification requests. iHRIS Qualify is developed by The Capacity Project, an innovative global initiative to help developing countries build and sustain the health workforce.

iHRIS Plan

iHRIS Plan is planning and modeling software developed to improve planning for health workforce needs in developing country settings. This software uses data from iHRIS Manage and iHRIS Qualify to form a complete picture of the health workforce in the country. It then projects how that workforce ... [More] will change in the future based on known influences such as retirement age, the number of trained health workers annually entering the workforce and other factors. This projection is compared to the projected health workforce needs over the same period, visually displaying the gap between actual workers and needed workers. iHRIS Plan is developed by The Capacity Project, an innovative global initiative to help developing countries build and sustain the health workforce.

Species Reactionary ModelA Relational and Mathematical Model to Describe the Effects of Species Removal, Species Induction and Environmental Changes on Species and their MovementCreated by Derek Hammer, Chandler Kent and Mark JenneWe aim to create a functional, relational model of species ... [More] interaction. A user will have the ability to define environmental disruptions on a preset landmass. The model will respond by predicting probable migration patterns of various species affected by the environmental event and update the state of the species throughout the landmass to reflect their movement. A web-based graphical user-interface will provide a medium for the user to visualize the changes taking place in the database as well as to control the state of the model. The species migration model provides the interested user with the ability to predict species behavior within a large and climatically diverse setting. This model has the potential of providing the underlying foundation of a highly accurate and practical means of forecasting species movement in real-time. For instance, a feature within our model allows the user to specifically pinpoint and track the movement of a single species. Using the above feature, the population and behavior of an endangered species can be extrapolated into the near future to predict how the state of the species will change in the coming years. This insight gained from such analysis can be used to alleviate the species chance for survival. The species migration model has the potential for becoming a heavily utilized tool within the scientific community, based on the value and nature of the data derived by the model. The insight into and relevant data obtained regarding movement patterns of varying species will be open to any user seeking access to such information, and could be specifically useful to scientists and researchers. This system will benefit any user seeking data on behavioral interaction among species, and could be useful among students attempting to collect such data for analysis. [Less]

baobablinux

Baobab Linux is a Linux distribution targeted specifically for customized iOpener computers. Linux distributions have already been built for the iOpener (Midori and Jailbait), but the iOpeners used by Baobab Health Partnership include such hardware customizations as: touchscreen hardware, USB ... [More] ethernet adaptor, etc. Furthermore, Baobab Linux requires an integrated web browser able to process AJAX requests. Hence, Baobab Linux initially needs to support a specific set of hardware:     * iOpener computer     * x86 processor (266MHz Rise)     * VGA video card - Trident Cyberblade 7     * LCD monitor running at 800x600     * USB Ethernet (Pegasus)     * Touchscreen - Made by 3M. MERL may create alternative version (serial port support most important, USB support is a nice to have)     * Sound card (not top priority, dependent on 16 volt power supply)     * 32 MB of RAM     * 16 MB Flash disk     * Keyboard (bar code scanner)     * Printers (label and laser via parallel port) The software aims for the following:     * Web browser that is AJAX capable and starts in full screen mode     * Printing program (command line) which takes file as argument, and passes file to local printer. Web browser will have a mime-type configured to pass all 'application/print' files (or simply .lpr files) to this program.     * Everything needs to fit on that 16MB flash disk and run in 32MB of RAM [Less]

vctopenmrsmigration

The Baobab Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) System is currently used in more than ten sites throughout Malawi. It allows clients to anonymously be tested for HIV, Tuberculosis, and other diseases. Registration clerks, counselors and lab technicians enter the collected information into Baobab ... [More] touchscreen systems in real time. Though counseling, referrals, and general awareness are the primary goals of any VCT centre, data collection analysis are a close second. Until now, Baobab has used a proprietary data model for all of the data collection. With the latest release, Baobab has developed a set of SQL scripts that allows existing VCT deployments to migrate their data to the OpenMRS data model. By registering triggers in the MySQL database the system can continue to update the OpenMRS database as the VCT data is updated. This allows site facilitators to utilize open tools for analyzing the VCT data. Why OpenMRS? The Open Medical Record System is a common framework upon which medical informatics efforts in developing countries can be built. It is currently in use in Rwanda and implementations are being built around the world. Using a shared data model across disparate installations and regions enables wider analysis of successes, failures, and general trends. The shared data model will enable each site to improve care based on the comparable results, successes, and assessed need making a better experience for each client. What about the Front-end? At this time we are not releasing the Visual Basic frontend code that writes to the old data model and gets triggered into OpenMRS. We are happy to share the code - just get in touch. [Less]
