Key Responsibilities

· Work under the Team Lead’s direction and coordinate closely with the Lab Information Systems Officer, Laboratory and IT Systems Specialist, IBTCI project management, MEL, and quality-review personnel.

o Task 1 – LIMS Integration with Surveillance Systems: Assessment of the current LIMS landscape (Senaite and STARLIMS) – data formats, coding standards, export capability, and state of any existing LIMS-to-surveillance data exchange. Definition of a common minimum dataset and exchange standard for laboratory results with the Fiji CDC surveillance unit and emergency operations center (EOC). Drafting and updating of data-sharing agreements and policies between laboratories, the Fiji CDC surveillance unit, and EOC.

User-perception survey across Tamanu, Senaite, Tupaia, PATIS+, and STARLIMS operator groups. Data-flow mapping across Tamanu / PATIS+ (clinical), Senaite / STARLIMS (laboratory), and Tupaia (visualization), including interface points and points of duplication. Synthesis and drafting of the review report with findings and recommendations. Stakeholder validation, revision, and finalization of the review report.

o Task 3 – Host Technical Working Group (TWG) Meetings for Digital Systems Action Plan: Confirmation of TWG composition and endorsement of Terms of Reference by MHMS and Fiji CDC. TWG inception meeting – preparation, facilitation, and minutes. Action-plan development workshops (two facilitated working sessions). Roadmap drafting, technical review, and partner consultation.

o Task 4 – Improve SOPs for Tamanu and Senaite: Gap analysis and prioritization of SOPs and job aids across the three systems. Drafting and review of SOPs for Tamanu (clinical / EMR) outbreak-response workflows. Drafting and review of SOPs for Senaite (LIMS).

· Establish and maintain an organized repository and document register covering relevant SOPs, policies, system documentation, project reports, interview and meeting records, survey data, workflow maps, technical inputs, and draft products.

· Consolidate evidence from desk reviews, key informant interviews, facility consultations, user-perception activities, Technical Working Group meetings, and specialist assessments; identify recurring themes, inconsistencies, gaps, and items requiring verification.

· Clean, code, tabulate, and summarize available structured or semi-structured data using appropriate spreadsheet or analytical tools; document all transformations, assumptions, missing data, and quality limitations.

· Support analysis of system inventories, workflows, interfaces, duplication, manual workarounds, user attitudes, data-governance arrangements, technical constraints, and priority actions across surveillance systems.

· Prepare concise tables, charts, dashboards, issue summaries, evidence maps, and presentation-ready exhibits when these improve interpretation.

· Consolidate specialist inputs into logically structured draft sections for the LIMS assessment, digital-systems review report, Technical Working Group report, action plan, roadmap, SOP gap analysis, and related milestone products.

· Perform completeness, consistency, cross-reference, and basic data-quality checks across draft deliverables, annexes, tables, acronyms, terminology, recommendations, and supporting evidence before quality review.
