Abstract

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) play a crucial role in modern healthcare, enhancing quality, safety, efficiency, and research capabilities. However, in Nigeria the full acceptance of such modern ways of managing healthcare delivery is marred with various challenges such as infrastructure, funding, technical expertise, and regulatory issues. This paper presents a proposed conceptual framework of a Data Collection Module for a Centralized EHR System in Nigeria, aimed at addressing data accessibility challenges faced by healthcare facilities for patients registering at their facilities. The module utilizes National Identification Numbers (NINs), barcodes, and biometric identification methods to collect and secure patient demographic data. It incorporates a web application, biometric software, and barcode/QR code software to ensure efficient data collection and verification. Our study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of employing biometric identification techniques in data collection modules, offering enhanced accuracy, reliability, security, and usability of patient data in a developing healthcare system like Nigeria.The proposed module has not been tested in a real-world environment, so more study is required to determine its viability, scalability, and effect on the standard and results of healthcare.

  • Healthcare workers in Nigeria may be interested in EHR systems in theory, but real practice is limited by context-specific factors including device unavailability, instability of institutional preparedness, and poor health informatics skills.

    “Facts of scoping and quantitative research also confirm that healthcare workers might be interested in EHR systems in theory, but the real practice is limited due to the context specifics, including device unavailability, instability of institutional preparedness, and poor health informatics skills of professionals [14, 22, 23].”

  • Literature estimates indicate that EHR adoption in Nigerian healthcare institutions is between about 18 and 23 percent, with only a small number of hospitals having fully digitalized patient information systems and the rest using hybrid or legacy systems.

    “Literary estimates indicate that the adoption of EHR in healthcare institutions in Nigeria is between about 18 and 23 percent with only a small number of hospitals having digitalized patient information systems wholly with the rest using hybrid systems or legacy systems [12, 14, 15, 16, 17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
