The challenge
Patient records, stock movements and routine reports were maintained on paper. The hospitals needed a way to capture information during care and use it again for pharmacy, inventory and reporting.
The implementation
Savics adapted OpenMRS to local workflows for patient records, billing, pharmacy and equipment maintenance. The implementation also connected hospital reporting to DHIS2 so indicators recorded at the hospital could be shared at national level.
What changed
Savics reported fewer duplicate patient records, faster reporting from the hospitals and quicker responses when pharmacy stock needed replenishing.
