Welcome to the Centre for Integrated Data and Epidemiological Research
The Centre for Integrated Data and Epidemiological Research (CIDER) conducts multi-disciplinary research on priority infectious diseases in Southern Africa, in order to improve disease prevention and management. The Centre has strong links to service providers at provincial and national level, and a long track record of conducting operations research around program effectiveness and service delivery challenges.
With HIV/Aids and tuberculosis contributing enormously to the disease burden in the Western Cape Province, a research grouping focussing on priority infectious diseases was formed in 2000 within the School of Public Health. Since 2000, the Centre for Integrated Data and Epidemiological Research (CIDER) has been involved in a wide range of interdisciplinary research and teaching spanning surveillance, HIV-prevention clinical trials, clinical epidemiology of tuberculosis and HIV therapy, socio-behavioural and health systems research. The Centre is comprised of a diverse group of staff, with strengths in epidemiology, biostatistics, mathematical modelling and medical anthropology.
The Centre works closely with provincial and national government.
Current areas of research include:
- Cohort studies of HIV treatment, evaluating individual treatment projects, provincial and national programs, and the co-hosting of a regional data centre for collaborative HIV cohort research in Southern Africa (IeDEA-SA), and a global data centre for paediatric HIV treatment cohorts (CIPHER)
- Population-level surveillance of infectious disease interventions in the Western Cape Province
- Novel service delivery approaches to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, and the identification of gaps in PMTCT services and optimal strategies to minimise these gaps
- Health systems research projects including evaluating models of care for HIV service delivery, models of HIV/TB service integration, and issues around task shifting and the use of lay health workers to support infectious diseases services.
- Mathematical modeling of HIV, TB, HPV and other infectious diseases and their prevention and treatment
- Context-appropriate information systems to monitor HIV, TB and PMTCT service delivery
- Collaboration on birth cohort studies
- Staff who are jointly appointed as public health specialists with the Western Cape Department of Health, with service responsibilities in surveillance and impact evaluations
- CIDER provides support to the HIV, AIDS, STI and tuberculosis (HAST) directorate in the Provincial Department of Health both through the joint appointees and through a long standing Global Fund grant to support routine HAST information systems
- Staff serve on provincial and national HIV guideline committees, and regularly participate in WHO reference groups on HIV treatment, PMTCT, and HIV information systems development
- CIDER works closely with a number of civil society organisations including a long standing collaboration with Médecins Sans Frontières, and the South African National AIDS Council
- CIDER develop and maintain one of the key information systems used for monitoring HIV and tuberculosis treatment in South Africa (Three Interlinked Electronic Registers – TIER.Net), and provide support to users of the system in ten other countries
The African Health Information Exchange (AHIE) Project
In late 2016 CIDER was awarded a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to establish a reference African Health Information Exchange (AHIE). The aim was to deliver a replicable and context-appropriate implementation of a health information exchange for clinical data, working across national and provincial health departments in South Africa. An important outcome of this would be successful interoperability implementations for key systems that were critical to the HIV and TB response in South Africa. The AHIE project was undertaken by a consortium led by UCT CIDER. Consortium members were the National Department of Health (NDoH), the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Jembi Health Systems, and the South African National Health Laboratory Service (NHLS).

The components of AHIE were:
HPRS: The scale up of the national health identifier and patient registration system, the Health Patient Registration System (HPRS) led by NDoH. Development of the HPRS was done by a team at the CSIR. HPRS Video
PHDC: The maturation of a set of technologies that could harmonize person-level health data and enable disease cascade reporting from diagnosis through to treatment success to assist patient management at all levels of the health system. The Western Cape Provincial Health Data Centre (PHDC) would serve as the innovation incubator for this component. PHDC Video
OpenHIM: The consolidation of a standards-based health information exchange (HIE) by adapting and maturing an open interoperability layer, the Open Health Information Mediator (OpenHIM), into a robust standards-based technology stack for widespread adoption. OpenHIM Video
SPV: The development of a viewing application for clinicians to access consolidated longitudinal clinical data, the single patient viewer (SPV). SPV Video
TIER.Net: The adaptation of TIER.Net to interoperate with other systems such as the HPRS and the NHLS laboratory information system. TIER.Net is an HIV and TB patient information system developed by CIDER and is used from facility level through to national level in about 4,000 facilities in South Africa. TIER Video
Exciting outcome of AHIE – The OpenIHP:
As software development work progressed throughout the AHIE project, it became clear that there was a need for an online solution to manage and monitor treatment of patients with HIV and TB. A dynamic data-driven forms engine was added to SPV that enabled the capture of new data to complement and be integrated with existing data in the PHDC, enabling users to view and capture on the same platform, reducing the need to import data from a separate, stand-alone system.
This new converged software platform is called the Open Integrated Health Platform (OpenIHP). Convergence to OpenIHP means that the PHDC, SPV, TIER.Net and enterprise reporting functionality can now be replicated and supported as one consolidated platform. In 2020 the effectiveness and adaptability of OpenIHP was successfully established and the platform has been playing an important role in the Western Cape Province’s response to COVID-19.

The main focus of her current research has been the impact of HIV and ART in vertical transmission of HIV; this has expanded to include all pregnancy exposures with a special interest in pharmacovigilance during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Emma is also involved in projects designed to support a population-based database which links operational health data sources and sentinel site-based implementation science studies (most recently, this has included the Western Cape Pregnancy Exposure Registry). She collaborates nationally and within Africa. |
