*Dear All,*
* *
*The following email and its attachments are for release to your
contacts with the hope of further dissemination. ***
* *
*This email is an introduction to a master-list, comprehensive registry
of all health facilities in Haiti. **This effort is led by the
Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, D.C. and the
Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), in collaboration with USAID,
the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense,
corporations such as Shoreland, Inc., and Google, and NGOs such as IMA
WorldHealth, Crisis Commons, and Global Health Action. The purpose of
this Haiti Health Facilities Capacity Inventory is to _collect
'real-time' information_ that can then inform health professionals and
practitioners at any time where they can send patients for the necessary
care, based on the availability of services and the location of health
facilities. *
*We are requesting that you submit information about your health
facility in Haiti as soon as possible. In addition, we ask that you
provide updates on your health facility as its capacity changes. All
submitted information is owned by the Ministry of Health of Haiti. **We
recognize that you may have filled out similar surveys since the
earthquake. If filling out yet another survey is cumbersome, would you
please direct us to the organization that collected your capacity data
and we will reach out to them to add your information to our system
(write alyson.rose-wood at hhs.gov <mailto:alyson.rose-wood at hhs.gov>).
However, if this data is outdated please consider filling out this
survey. ***
* *
*- All data submissions will be available on the following Shoreland
website on a near real-time basis (most within 30 minutes of
submission): www.travax.com. This 'real-time' information is available
to access on the Travax® site and will be downloadable in .csv form to
be used in any spreadsheet program, such as Excel (by February 20,
2010). In order to maintain data integrity, to enter data on the Travax
site directly you will need to enter the username/password combination
(haitig1/4aid1).** **In addition, there is a no-password necessary link
to this real-time data on the OneReponse website
<http://oneresponse.info/Disasters/Haiti/Health/Pages/default.aspx>
under "Health Facility Resource Tracking" (for viewing and downloading
the data).*
* *
*- You can submit information to the Haiti Health Facilities Capacity
Inventory through SMS, email, fax, telephone, MMS, and through the
internet directly using the password above. The attached document, "How
to submit and access Haiti Health Facility Capacity Information" details
the submission guidelines. In addition, this document explains how to
view and download this information to inform 'real time' decisions as a
health practitioner in Haiti. *
* *
*- To submit data to this inventory, you will need to use either the
attached "Full Survey Form Template" or the "Reduced Survey Information
Form" (for SMS, Voicemail, or if you do not have the capability to
collect all the information for the full survey form) as your guide**;
or you can direct our team to where this data is housed and we will
collect it on your behalf (write alyson.rose-wood at hhs.gov
<mailto:alyson.rose-wood at hhs.gov>). **The Full Survey Form Template can
either be printed out and faxed in, or can serve as a guide to collect
information to then report in through email, MMS, telephone, or over the
internet directly. *
* *
*- We are working to translate the forms into French and Creole and in
providing French and Creole-speaking telephone operators. We will notify
all when these services become available.*
* *
¨ *If you have questions on the form or how to submit data, please

* *
¨ *If you have questions on the Haiti Health Facilities Working
Group, please contact: Alyson Rose-Wood at alyson.rose-wood at hhs.gov

*The working group remains active exploring sustainable and improved
methods for the longer term.***
