10 days ago I spent time visiting the special nutritional clinic based in Mbale Uganda. The clinic travels out into remote areas screening and monitoring children who are referred with Malnutrition. It was amazing to see how central, EMR4DW is to their work. They use weight and mid upper arm circumference measurements to assess the children. These are listed in chronological order on EMR4DW so it is easy to monitor progress. Prescriptions, also on EMR4DW, dictate what special high protein and high calorie medicines are given.
The new traffic light warning system, on EMR4DW, indicates the severe patients, like this poor little boy, ensuring he is seen promptly.
As children improve the measurements change from red to green and help the staff decide when it is safe to discharge the children to routine monitoring. EMR4DW helping to save lives. We are proud of our support for this clinic.
