PHC, immunization, evaluation, learning, evidence-informed policy, partnership, big and small data, at @PATHTweets and @USAID_MOMENTUM M-RITE. Views are my own.

.@ConstantKingon1: What did we learn from MOMENTUM's experience improving vaccine data systems in #DRC?

💡Data solutions should fit the context
💡Build a strong enabling environment for digital health systems
💡Design data systems for health systems strengthening

MOMENTUM Routine Immunization #DRC Country Director Djeneba Couilbaly reminds couples in the Kasai Oriental province that infant healthcare and immunization should be a shared responsibility between both parents!

[The Geneva Learning Foundation @DigitalScholarX]

On Universal Health Coverage Day, join immunization and PHC professionals from health facilities, districts, and national and global teams to learn how, together, we are mutually strengthening immunization and PHC.

Powerful comments from Rochelle @thewrittenro and Vivian at #HSR2020 plenary. Health should be co-created & driven by communities. We are trying and learning from this in @USAID_MOMENTUM: community co-creation + building empathy among HCWs https://t.co/O2n6p0iYmo

What is a fit for purpose health workforce? The equity question is at the center. How can we redesign health around people, family, and communities? Do we return to the status quo or can we transform? - great comments by Dr Lin #HSR2022

[Jessica Shearer @jessicashearer]

Paper reporting forms redesigned using #HCD bring Thomas, a health worker in Nigeria “satisfaction and joy”. And integrate decision support for real-time data use! Good job @phisicc_ sondercollective! #HSR2022

[Jessica Shearer @jessicashearer]

@KimberlyEGreen @USAID_MOMENTUM @PATHtweets @JSIhealth @H_S_Global Loving all the focus on learning at #HSG2022. In #LearningHealthSystems @USAID Rachel Lucas affirms the need to build national and subnational capacity for learning, exactly our job in @USAID_MOMENTUM

[Rachel Ndirangu @NdiranguRay]

Too often, sound policies remain just that- failing to deliver their intended goals due to poor implementation. How can heath advocates and policy makers drive successful policy implementation? Dont miss this session https://t.co/CWCwhRgvcT

And it sadly became worse in 2020 due to #COVID19. We must maintain and strengthen immunization services to protect children and communities missed by life-saving vaccines. @USAID_MOMENTUM #VaccinesWork

[Raj Panjabi M.D. @rajpanjabi]

“In 2019, an estimated 14 million children were “zero-dose,” meaning they had not received even a single dose of the vaccines that prevent diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and other life-threatening and debilitating diseases.”

Join the BID Learning Network for a webinar this Thursday, Apr. 8, featuring lessons on COVID-19 vaccine introduction in Uganda, Zambia, Ghana and Zimbabwe. The webinar is the first in a 3-part series. https://t.co/p2QfdpH72B

Great paper from @CharlesShey and colleagues using CLDs. COVID-19 and routine childhood immunization in Africa: Leveraging systems thinking and implementation science to improve immunization system performance https://t.co/knlSHIoNXt

4/4 Real-time monitoring + continuous improvement is critical to quickly overcome implementation barriers. We encourage leaders to foster a culture of learning and improvement. We will fail at times, but it's how we learn that will matter.

[Jessica Shearer @jessicashearer]

Over the years that we evaluated immunization systems, including many new vaccine introductions, we had no idea how relevant this work would be in 2021. Here are some thoughts on what we learned and how to avoid common pitfalls for #COVID19Vaccine intro (thread)

[Health Systems Global @H_S_Global]

Dr. Caroline Soi of @uwdgh et al published ‘How to evaluate the implementation of complex health programmes in low-income settings: The approach of the @Gavi Full Country Evaluations’ in @HPP_LSHTM @jessicashearer @ImpSciUW @sarahgimbel2

[Jessica Shearer @jessicashearer]

3/4 Key stakeholders were sometimes missing from the process w/ downstream consequences. For #COVID19Vaccine intro, how are governments using citizen engagement and including the elderly, health professionals, other civil society groups, communities, and the private sector?

[Jessica Shearer @jessicashearer]

Great summary of data sources on the impact of COVID-19 on EHS. Agree @CGDev, we need more synthesis of all this information for learning and action. @TheresaDiazWHO @NicolaWardrop @tyler_porth
