New Version of EMR4DW due soon!

Grace uses EMR4DW with patients to explain about their illness and treatment
All of us at EMR4DW are very excited as the launch date of the latest version of EMR4DW approaches. This project has been 2 years in the making. Previous visits to Uganda have been valuable in collecting feedback from clinics using EMR4DW. This has been fed into our IT development team of trustee Bass Stewart and his colleague Jason, who have worked tirelessly to redesign and improve the EMR4DW software.
The latest version will include:
- Improved and quicker search facility to prevent patients being entered onto EMR4DW twice.
- A new page for past medical problems. No more having to repeat your details every visit.
- A warning system to highlight grossly abnormal recordings. This will alert clinicians to high temperatures and malnutrition.
- prescribing of drugs will link to stock showing if the drug is available and save hours of work when ordering drugs.
- All diagnoses will have the appropriate World Health Internationally accepted code attached. This makes reporting more relevant
All clinics using EMR4DW will have the new system installed as soon as it becomes available.
