Description:Reliable and timely data are foundational to improving health programs and accelerating progress towards achieving global health goals. eHealth is rapidly transforming the delivery of health services as a key enabler and driver of improved health outcomes. It also provides an essential infrastructure to support information exchange within national health care systems, including electronic medical and health records to support patient care; epidemiologic data to monitor trends and provide clinical and public health decision support; and routine monitoring and evaluation.
The U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has played a major role in scaling up the implementation and use of Health Information Systems in low and middle-income countries. However, lack of automated exchange of data between electronic medical and health records and the health management information systems impedes the timely and accurate sharing of reliable heath data. Even in health facilities using electronic medical records, reports are often printed and manually re-entered into the national health management information systems – a process that is duplicative, time-consuming, and prone to transcription errors.
