1st Year Evaluation of Kaduna EMR System
eHealth Nigeria just finished the 1 Year Evaluation of the Family Health Unit Demonstration Clinic (part of the Shehu Idris College of Health Sciences and Technology) in Tudun Wada, Kaduna Nigeria. The assessment visit on July 14, 2010 was set up to determine how the EMR system is currently being used, assess the EMR advantages and disadvantages, and determine how to improve the system.
The 3 main accomplishments of the EMR implementation are:
- By having access to accurate information, staff is taking the initiative to find more ways to use that data to increase awareness and improve work at the clinic such as making bar graphs and pie charts
- Staff are inspired by the effect the EMR system has on data collection and are asking to use the EMR in more departments
- Entering data into the EMR system is making data collection more accurate and allowing staff to discover problems with data collection, which can then be corrected.
The full report and survey results are available for feedback and comments.

Update:
Final Version of Evaluation Report now uploaded.
