Section 6.5 · Pillar 2 · Health Systems, Governance & Infrastructure Transformation
Digital Health, HMIS, EMR and National Dashboards
Digital transformation for accountability, planning and performance improvement, including EMR access for all professionals who need it.
The issue
Digital transformation is essential for accountability, planning, and performance improvement. The framework should promote hospital management information systems, electronic medical records, digital patient registration, quality dashboards, training records, incident reporting systems, mortality dashboards, accreditation dashboards, supply chain dashboards, data privacy, and cybersecurity. Electronic medical records should be accessible to physicians, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, and all other health professionals who require them for the execution of their professional duties and responsibilities.
