Pour la communauté francophone, l'annonce de l'Appel à soumissions est disponible sur la chaîneYouTube de DHIS2
This DHIS2 Annual Conference is a unique opportunity to share experiences and knowledge around DHIS2 implementation with a wide audience, and for the DHIS2 community to learn from the many, diverse uses, settings, themes and domains in which we work.
We will carefully review all submitted abstracts. Abstracts will be considered for inclusion in conference plenary or parallel sessions, for in-person presentation or display as online posters. We are anticipating a high number of abstracts, and we unfortunately will not be able to accept all submissions.
To help improve the quality of abstract submissions, we have updated our submission form to request more specific details about each abstract. We advise you to review the form here before submitting your abstract.
- Deadline for submission: 2 February 2025
- Date of notification of acceptance: From 3 March 2025
Topic selection & themes of interest
This year, we are accepting abstracts on any topic related to DHIS2. While there are no specific categories your abstracts must fall into, we are particularly interested in abstracts that relate to these cross-cutting themes:
DHIS2 for Climate & Health
The negative impacts of climate change on human health is an area of worldwide concern, and countries around the world are exploring the possibilities of using technology and data to improve the climate-resilience of health systems. We are interested in abstracts on DHIS2 and climate, weather, environmental, emissions, or pollution data, both in isolation and in combination with data from health programs or other domains (agriculture, education, forestry, water management, etc.)
Supporting positive impacts with DHIS2
We are interested in abstracts that demonstrate the impact of DHIS2 use (including use of data from DHIS2) in contributing to concrete results in any sector and at any scale. This can include programmatic outcomes, organizational outcomes, supporting work processes and practices, driving decision making, making systems more effective, and facilitating collaboration, etc. Examples should be specific and refer to impact that has already occurred and can be documented in some way, not potential or hypothetical impact.
Integration and interoperability
We are interested to hear about working integrations with DHIS2, including simple point-to-point integrations as well as middleware and Health Information Exchange. Of particular interest will be submissions which situate the integration within the broader context of supporting national health information system architecture as well as the use of standards like FHIR. Real-world examples of integration between DHIS2 and other systems and/or data sources are preferred over more speculative cases.
Research
We welcome research with, on, and for DHIS2. In other words, this will be an opportunity to present and discuss research where DHIS2 is used for data collection or as a data source, research on DHIS2 implementations and use cases, and research on how DHIS2 is developed, governed, and shaped for future use. Upon acceptance of an abstract, we expect the authors to develop a 4-8 page paper which will be included in online proceedings.
