26-04-2021
WHO/Europe has a new initiative in collaboration with HealthPros — a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network of Health Care Performance Intelligence researchers. Our teams are working together on a new study from the perspective of COVID-19 dashboard developers (the organizations responsible for their development). The aim of the study is to capture the development and decision-making process faced by developers in order to identify lessons learned for overcoming challenges be it methodological (selection of indicators), technical (data constraints), managerial (resources), among others. The intention is also to facilitate opportunities for developers to network with other COVID-19 dashboard teams through a virtual workshop to directly exchange experiences. The webinar recording can be accessed here.
