Implementers Needs Assessment Survey

How can we leverage the survey to frame what we are talking about re EMR evaluation?
Johnblack - multiple objectives, topics, and audiences for evaluation, epmphasizing that M&E may have different interests, not of interest to clinicians - focus on the perspective of the clinician
Hamish - can we add a blurb to define the basic scope of what we are describing,  notes that many studies are based on "failure"
Benjamin - emphasizing  defining indicators, defining scope of impact, and target audience, asking about alignment with typical M&E work

Step back/bigger picture questions
What is the purpose of this survey (Nancy) and the squad (Johnblack)?

Questionairre useful for raising the profile of evaluation among the global OpenMRS community
Need for knowing more about what people are doing globally, this squad can promote knowledge sharing, especially with use of showcases
Interest in clinical decision support especially
Few published EMR evaluations, it will be helpful to have these shared

Hamish offered to write a short intro to the survey
