Title: The role of electronic medical record in care delivery in developing countries
Authors: Williams, Faustine few4h8@mizzou.edu, Boren, Suzanne Austin1 borens@health.missouri.edu
Source: International Journal of Information Management. Dec2008, Vol. 28 Issue 6, p503-507. 5p.
Subjects: Medical records, Electronic records, Medical care, Information retrieval, Sample size (Statistics), Medical informatics, Human capital, Information resources management, Data entry, Developing countries
Abstract: Objectives: Electronic medical record (EMR) is not only being welcomed by healthcare providers as a way to improve care delivery but also serves as a catalyst for development. The purpose of this study is to examine benefits of EMR and its ultimate contribution to development of healthcare delivery. Design: This is a qualitative, explorative, and descriptive study using survey questionnaires and a sample size of 50 at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana. Results: Results from the research indicate the importance of an EMR system in developing countries to facilitate effective and efficient data collection, data entry, information retrieval and report generation, and research. However, developed nations are not doing enough to help developing countries implement modern technology necessary to facilitate care delivery. Conclusions: To achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) number 8 by 2015, developed nations must assist poor countries to develop their human capital, funds and work with the local community to design and implement system friendly with their environment to transform and improve care delivery development.
