ACDEP Establishes HMIS at 4 Additional Clinics

ACDEP establishes Health Management Information System (HMIS) at 4 additional clinics at Langbensi, Namolgo, Kongo and Zorko to enable the clinics to transit from traditional data management practices with paper to more efficient electronic management system. The system was first established in Nalerigu in 2013 as a pilot before replicating it at the four other clinics.
The significance of this intervention is to empower health professionals with a system that facilitates their work to access, analyze, manage, and utilize information that is essential to patient care for timely reporting, planning, decision-making and the overall healthcare delivery services.
