Description

Paper-based records have existed for centuries and their gradual replacement by computerised records has been in practice for sometime now in the western countries. Adoption has varied greatly from country to country. Electronic medical records are the centre of focus of any computerised health information system and without them modern technologies such as decision support systems cannot be effectively integrated with routine clinical workflow. This research service therefore highlights market penetration assessment, technology assessment and benchmarking, stakeholder analysis, patent analysis to name a few.
