POSITION: Health Information Systems (HIS) Strategy Consultant
Background and Justification
JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) has been a leading force in public health management consulting and research, dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities globally for over forty years. The Country Health Information Systems and Data Use program (CHISU), a five-year USAID-funded cooperative agreement led by JSI from 2020 to 2025, focuses on strengthening health information systems (HIS), promoting the sharing of data between systems, and enhancing the use of this data. CHISU is committed to supporting countries in their journey to self-reliance by enhancing local leadership and engagement in every aspect of health data.
The Ministry of Health has previously formulated a Digital Health Transformation Strategy (DHTS) up to 2024. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve with technological advancements and changing health needs, there is a critical need to extend and update the digital health strategy for the upcoming period of 2025-2029 and the Strategy Delivery Roadmap. This extension is not only a continuation but also an enhancement of the existing strategy, incorporating new insights, technologies, and methodologies to address current and future health challenges.
In this context, CHISU Indonesia will assist the Ministry of Health in achieving these strategies by providing essential support in the development process of the DHTS and Strategy Delivery Roadmap. By assisting the Ministry of Health with the development of the DHTS and the Strategy Delivery Roadmap, CHISU Indonesia aims to ensure that the country's health system is prepared to meet future challenges, leverage new opportunities, and consistently deliver high-quality healthcare across the nation through digital health. The HIS strategy consultancy is a critical component of this effort, bringing in the necessary expertise, experience, and perspective to guide the strategy's development and ensure its successful implementation.
