It is in this context that the concept of global goods maturity is gaining importance. Digital Square developed a global good maturity model (GGMM) for digital health tools, which engages the digital health community to identify areas of investment for global goods. The Surveillance Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System (SORMAS) is an open-source mobile and web application software that we developed to enable health workers to notify health departments about new cases of epidemic-prone diseases, detect outbreaks, and simultaneously manage outbreak response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the maturity of SORMAS using Digital Square\u2019s GGMM and to describe the applicability of the GGMM on the use case of SORMAS and identify opportunities for system improvements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We evaluated SORMAS using the GGMM version 1.0 indicators to measure its development. SORMAS was scored based on all the GGMM indicator scores. We described how we used the GGMM to guide the development of SORMAS during the study period. GGMM contains 15 subindicators grouped into the following core indicators: (1) global utility, (2) community support, and (3) software maturity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The assessment of SORMAS through the GGMM from November 2017 to October 2019 resulted in full completion of all subscores (10\/30, (33%) in 2017; 21\/30, (70%) in 2018; and 30\/30, (100%) in 2019). SORMAS reached the full score of the GGMM for digital health software tools by accomplishing all 10 points for each of the 3 indicators on global utility, community support, and software maturity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To our knowledge, SORMAS is the first electronic health tool for disease surveillance, and also the first outbreak response management tool, that has achieved a 100% score. Although some conceptual changes would allow for further improvements to the system, the GGMM already has a robust supportive effect on developing software toward global goods maturity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/15860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,27]],"date-time":"2020-01-27T23:36:33Z","timestamp":1580168193000},"page":"e15860","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["The Surveillance Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System (SORMAS): Digital Health Global Goods Maturity Assessment"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7194-9377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Tom-Aba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4826-0042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bernard Chawo","family":"Silenou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5668-7433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juliane","family":"Doerrbecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0565-8226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carl","family":"Fourie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0644-9613","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carl","family":"Leitner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0121-189X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Wahnschaffe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1282-2234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mat\u00e9","family":"Strysewske","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7452-1392","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chinedu Chukwujekwu","family":"Arinze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3328-8808","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gerard","family":"Krause","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/publichealth.9015"},{"issue":"8","key":"ref2","first-page":"578","volume":"83","author":"AbouZahr, C","year":"2005","journal-title":"Bull World Health Organ"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1001363"},{"key":"ref4","unstructured":"QiangCZYamamichiMHausmanVAltmanDWorld Bank2011122020-03-03Washington, DCWorld BankMobile Applications for the Health Sectorhttp:\/\/siteresources.worldbank.org\/INFORMATIONANDCOMMUNICATIONANDTECHNOLOGIES\/Resources\/mHealth_report.pdf"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12992-018-0424-z"},{"key":"ref6","unstructured":"Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL)20172019-10-31https:\/\/digitalimpactalliance.org\/"},{"key":"ref7","unstructured":"Health Data Collaborative2017-10-20What We Do: Better Data.
