ICT adoption in hospitals
While the research outcome of the project leaves us with the level of adoption of ICT in Nigerian hospitals, it is safe to state that the health care facilities have grown overtime from the use of paper-based information systems to Internet-based information systems. However similar cases that have recorded bad practices are still in vogue, so how do we explain that.
I'm talking about situations where patients visit the same hospital over time and they don't seem to have a comprehensive record of that patient's health history. Talking about cases where patients have to join long queues just confirm their card information in another department of the same hospital. Technology has made it easy for health care providers and patients alike but the adoption is lagging.
Use cases of ICT in Nigeria Hospitals
The use cases of ICT in Nigerian hospitals are too numerical, to say the list. To mention a few includes:-
Data collection and record keeping
For book hospital appointments
For prescriptions and diagnosis
To establish interoperability between health departments and other health care service providers
To enhance continuity
The adoption and utilization of ICT really helps to -:
Increases efficiency in health care services
Improve the quality of services
Minimize cost relatively
Foster continuity using smart information management system
