The Center for Global Digital Health Innovation

???? Announcing New WHO Guidance: Digital Transformation Handbook for Primary Health Care ???? https://lnkd.in/e7nxyHQj I’m excited to share the launch of World Health Organization's latest technical guidance, a resource developed through years of collaboration between the Department of Digital Health and Innovation (DHI) and the Human Reproduction Program (HRP). This guidance builds on practical experiences and lessons learned from health systems around the globe. This new resource is more than just a document—it’s a comprehensive roadmap designed to assist countries in digitizing health information for reproductive services. Here’s a look at what it offers: Integration of Digital Tools: How can digital solutions be tailored to enhance patient tracking, improve decision support, and ensure seamless information flow for reproductive health services ? Person-Centered Approaches: Emphasizing continuity of care, the framework integrates systems that connect patients with healthcare providers, making the health journey more accessible, personalized, and data-driven. Standards and Interoperability: Built on global digital standards like SMART Guidelines and HL7 FHIR, this guidance ensures that countries can implement scalable, interoperable solutions that support national health goals. Training and Scale-Up: Countries are supported through a stepwise approach, from design and adaptation to training, deployment, and scaling, making digital transformation achievable at any stage of readiness. Thank you to all who contributed their expertise to this impactful project. Together, we’re supporting resilient, inclusive health systems for a healthier future. ???? #DigitalHealth #ReproductiveHealth #Innovation #WHO #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity Adele Waugaman Tigest Tamrat Pascale Allotey Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Jeremy Farrar Garrett Mehl Natschja (Nat) Ratanaprayul AeHIN Secretariat Karthik Adapa Derrick Muneene
