“The system we have designed is a special solution for Africa’s healthcare industry,” said Seble Nebiyeloul, said President of AvailaMed. “It leverages the best of breed medical/networking technology with our homegrown EHR and database reporting facilities to deliver the needed clinical software/ hardware/ reporting infrastructure to the people of Africa. The system by its very design is lightweight, easy to use, portable and distributed technology is built to allow for easy implementation, use and distribution throughout Africa, from its largest cities to its most remote rural regions,” she said.
The AvailaMed system is designed to interoperate with already existing data systems to create powerful consolidated health management and clinical reporting dashboards. The system is customizable and made to be modified for each country based on their specific needs and requirements. The data AvailaMed gathers and consolidate will allow for comprehensive reporting of clinical information never before seen.
“Outside organizations and funding entities will now be able to receive adequate clinical reporting that is not only far more complete then what is currently available, but also far more accurate. We have also received interests in our solution from other African countries such as Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana. After launching our product here, we plan to do the same in those countries. We cannot only help deliver more efficient clinical services, but harness the resulting invaluable clinical data to revolutionize medical care, healthcare management and clinical reporting in Africa,” she said.
This innovative EHR system will be implemented in Yekatiti 12 Hospital, one of the government health facility, Zinnia Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Higher Clinicand one of the private Hospital in Addis Ababa and take these healthcare organizations patient care to the next level with revolutionary EHR. Designed to be easily customized and adaptable to the organizations specific needs, EHR will adapt to the needs of the Doctors/ Providers & workflow instead of the other way around, according to Seble.
Availamed’s solution among others is expected to solve the difficulty of connecting with patients and viewing health records in remote locations of Africa. In addition to patients’ information, AvailaMed’s solution enable to capture and store health workers human resource data and history at all levels.
The electronic health information collection and reporting solution also helps countries in identifying new epidemics in real time and identify counterfeit medicines. It also enables to spot medical errors and adverse drug interactions that could be undetected by doctors/providers.
Currently, some government healthcare facilities and hospitals in Ethiopia are using the medical data collection and reporting application system known as Smart Care.
“At the core of our system is a network of high performance interconnected databases that communicate and share resources and data to act as one mind to collect, transform and report on all information collected. Our solution is much more comprehensive and specifically designed for Africa,” she said.
