Working under the supervision of the Digital Health Systems and Surveillance Lead / Team Lead, the Lab Information Systems Officer will provide specialized technical support for the listed tasks.

Key Responsibilities

· Contribute to the delivery of the following four tasks:

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.

o Task 2 – Review Digital Systems and SOPs for Outbreak Response: Document inventory and desk review of existing SOPs, guidelines, and project reports relevant to digital-system use for outbreak response, including current PATIS+ and STARLIMS documentation. Key informant interviews with MHMS, Fiji CDC, MoA, BAF, and prior implementers (DFAT, WHO, SPC), including PATIS+ and STARLIMS system owners. 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).

· Assess Fiji’s current LIMS landscape, including SENAITE and STARLIMS deployment status, facilities and users, system ownership, workflows, data formats, coding standards, export capabilities, known constraints, and existing connections to surveillance and emergency-response systems.

· Collect and organize relevant system inventories, configuration information, SOPs, policies, technical documentation, and prior assessment materials; identify information gaps.

· Conduct key informant interviews, user consultations, and the user-perception assessment.

· Coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies in Fiji.
