Overview
Our health solution is a simple Electronic Medical Records system (EMR) for use in clinics, small hospitals and refugee camps in low resource settings
As a Not for Profit organisation, our vision is that OutreachEMR should be used by local communities free of charge
The system is used to improve the care of the individual and to better target healthcare resources and education in the wider community
Key Features:
- ‘Cloud Clinic’ for clinics with an internet connection
- ‘Desktop Clinic’ - installation for clinics with no, or intermittent internet connect. Multiple users can access the ‘Master’ Desktop installation via WiFi or wired network
- Roaming Deployment: download a copy of the System onto a laptop for outreach work: 'sync' with the Master database when you get back to a network connection (works for both Cloud & Desktop deployments
- Out-of-the-Box: the simplest possible EMR that can be learned quickly by novice computer-users
- Modular Design: plugin architecture means that functionality can be extended easily; plugins can be made available on clinic-by-clinic basis, regionally, nationally or to all users
- Secure: every clinic has its own secure server and automated backup
- Interoperability: DHIS2 interface links Cloud systems with Public Health decision makers (works for both Cloud & Desktop deployments)

New EMR Server in Eastern Uganda
Our name may change but we don't!
All at EMR4DW, Medical Records Save Lives, are delighted to congratulate Enoch Magala, and the whole team of Centre for Youth Driven Development Initiatives (CFYDDI). On the opening of their clinic in Jinja Uganda this month. Several of us have been able to visit Enoch and witness the building of this wonderful facility. I visited along with EMR4DW founder’s Dr Peter Smith and Bass Stewart in 2018, to give advice and demonstrate EMR4DW to the enthusiastic staff.
We might be in lockdown in the UK, but the picture shows our Ugandan Senior Ambassador, Julius Okello who spent 2 days helping set up EMR4DW and give staff training.
Don’t look so worried everyone!! Most clinics tell us staff, with no previous computer skills, can learn the basics in a couple of days. So it will get better!
We all wish you the absolute best of luck and are certain this clinic along with EMR4DW electronic medical records will only help in the wonderful work you do.

The Covid pandemic has made 2020 a very difficult year for the whole world. Clinics using EMR4DW are often at the forefront of such difficulties. They are often working in remote poorly funded areas making their work, caring for their community, extremely challenging. Our thoughts. prayers and best wishes go out to every one of them. There is a glint of hope for the future as research on treatment of covid-19 showing simple inexpensive treatments can help as well as vaccines developed, in Oxford, that, I understand, have promised to be available to all countries at no profit. We hope the WHO can help to roll this out to all vulnerable people wherever they are. One thing we are proud of is that our computer software EMR4DW is able to code Covid-19 as a disease allowing our clinics to monitor case numbers in their communities and inform health departments quickly and accurately. When the vaccines are available every clinic will be able to document every covid-19 vaccine given. Let's hope it is soon! Keep up the good work in 2021.
