Better Data, Stronger Health Workforce: The Open Source iHRIS Approach
An overview of the free open source iHRIS platform of health workforce information tools and software. The iHRIS software suite consists of five interoperable applications that allow health workforce leaders and managers to plan, develop, and manage a health workforce efficiently and effectively to meet national or institutional health objectives.
CapacityPlus hosted a knowledge-sharing and dissemination event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on May 6. The program showcased iHRIS, the leading open source software for tracking and managing data on the health workforce. Through a combination of presentations by USAID and CapacityPlus, interactive roundtable discussions, software demonstrations, and a moderated question-and-answer session, participants experienced each of the five iHRIS applications (Manage, Train, Qualify, Plan, Retain), learned about success stories resulting from countries using iHRIS, and discussed the power of open source approaches for maximizing local ownership, capacity-building, innovation, and partnership.
