Key Projects 2022\u000ATrauma Team Training (TTT) in 9 Kenyan Counties\u000A Figure 1 Trauma Team Exercise\u000AWith the support of the Global Foundation of Geneva, the TTT course was digitized and made accessible to learners on mobile phone apps. The CNIS office in Vancouver was a software company some days and on others a film studio with lights, cameras, and green screens. Under the auspices of the ministry of Health of Kenya and with 3-year support from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada the first year of this hybrid digital program was implemented, with 138 health professionals in 24 teams from 4 counties completing the course. Support from the Mayfield Rotary Club in Edmonton and the Harbinger Foundation of Toronto balanced the budget. The course\u000Awas implemented by Dr\u2019s Gladwell, Kisaka and Mutiso from the MOH together with Dr\u2019s Lett and Eamer as well as several Kenyan instructors who took the remote TTT instructors course. The second year of the program starts in April 2023.\u000ASkills Training in Tanzania\u000A Figure 2 Midwifery student doing case study on phone\u000AThe Digitized Fundamental Interventions Referral and Safe Transfer (FIRST) for Clinical Officers lead by Dr. Badria Mushi and FIRST for midwives lead by Mrs. Leah Makala were taught in hybrid format in Tanga, Tanzania. Subsequently, a FIRST instructors course for Clinical Officers and Midwives was taught to assure that local faculty could sustain the digital teaching. The Essential Surgical Skills course was taught in Moshi, Tanzania with two volunteers from Canada (Dr\u2019s Bugis and Wells) and funded by KCMC under the leadership of Professor Alfred Mteta and Dr. Kondo Chilonga. At the request of Dr. Respicious Boniface and the support of Muhibli Orthopaedic Institute a TTT digital instructors course was conducted in Dar Es Salam.\u000AWHO Clinical Guideline Utilization and Digitization\u000A 2\u000AANNUAL REPORT 2022\u000AFigure 3 Wire Frame of Hospital Surveillance App\u000AIn 2021, CNIS led consultation teams from Uganda and Nigeria on clinical guideline utilization for the Product Design and Impact (PDI), Quality Assurance, Norms and Standards, Science Division of the WHO. In September 2022, Dr. Lett was invited to present the guideline utilization assessments at a global consultation in Geneva. Subsequently, CNIS was registered as a WHO corporate supplier and entered two Agreements for Performance of Work (APW) with the PDI unit. The first APW was to write a chapter for the Current Process of Guideline Development & Implementation which recommended guideline digitization. The second was to demonstrate the digitizing of two WHO guidelines. CNIS, with the help from another WHO supplier, digitized the Injury Surveillance and the Community Violence & Injury Guidelines through a process which updated guidelines by mapping them to ICD11 and digitizing them into a machine-readable template. The guidelines were validated using 3 case studies and demonstrated as high fidelity wireframes.\u000A
