According to the Bank’s website, the general objective of the TC is: (i) to support the design of a Digital Health Strategy and Roadmap based on the IDB Digital Health Architecture Model, which when operationalized, will improve the quality, efficiency and equity of health services across all sectors in Trinidad & Tobago; (ii) to support adoption and adaptation of regional (Latin America and the Caribbean) approaches and best practices for digital transformation of the health sector, related to the design and implementation of electronic health records, telehealth and implementation of international standards for interoperability in health in Trinidad & Tobago; and (iii) document lessons learned from the local context. The promise of digital health transformation for Trinidad & Tobago. Digital transformation (DT) of the health sector refers to how technologies change the sector's rules of engagement, ways of working and interacting, and mindset. DT presents an opportunity to leverage technology's transformative power to address fundamental flaws and move the region's healthcare systems toward a new reality.
The project is framed on the IDB "digital house" concept or Digital Health Architecture Model which is used throughout the region by the IDB Group to help develop digital health roadmaps and transformation strategy. The digital house shows the actions and products needed to build a solid DT and is built on six key dimensions: governance, people and culture, informed health policy and practice, infrastructure, infostructure, and applications and digital services for the sector.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB
The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
