Interoperability Roadmap
IASO is an innovative, open-source, bilingual (EN/FR) data collection platform with advanced geospatial features to plan, monitor and evaluate health, environmental or social programmes in low- and middle-income settings (LMICs). IASO is recognized as a Digital Public Good by the Digital Public Good Alliance and listed as a Digital Square Software Global Good, a testament to its proven impact.

- FHIR
In the same context as above, Bluesquare would ensure that IASO is compatible with the FHIR standard for health care data exchange. That said, IASO is a generic data collection tool, and consequently we can’t enforce that collected data always uses a predefined set of fields. Consequently, support of FHIR for case management would be made on a project basis, and where Bluesquare could help is by providing documentation of how to implement some parts of the FHIR standard.
On the other hand, IASO is a very complete facility list management system and here, there is a very good opportunity to adopt OHIE facility registry standards. This will be studied by the end of 2025 and implemented if we can identify a project needing the feature.

DHIS2 Tracker data import/export
Recently, we implemented case management features in IASO (entities), which is mainly the possibility to collect and store data about individuals. One goal will be to further develop the integration between IASO and DHIS2 Tracker, to allow the import and export of data linked to individuals. As DHIS2 Tracker has already implemented the FHIR standard, this will ease the process of integrating both softwares.
- Long-term (end of 2025 and beyond)
- Microplanning
IASO is growing more and more to be a planning system, e.g. for vaccination campaigns. We need to investigate if there are existing standards (outside of calendar standards like caldav) , especially in the OHIE specification that could be reused to expose our plannings to external systems.
- Logistics
There is a growing demand for IASO to be able to handle logistics, in order to monitor stocks of certain health-related or other supplies, such as vaccines, mosquito nets in certain locations. If IASO would further develop features in this field, Bluesquare will make sure to follow the openHIE “Logistics Management Information System (LMIS)” and “Product Catalogue” components principles.
