Informatics at GHII focuses on developing and implementing technology-based solutions to address health challenges, particularly in Malawi. This program specializes in creating systems that improve efficiency, data collection, and patient care by integrating a diverse range of skills including programming, 3D modeling, and electronic design. For instance, at Kamuzu Central Hospital, an Order Entry and Results Reporting (OERR) system was implemented to digitize lab workflows and reduce errors caused by manual processes. The team's work focuses on leveraging data and technology to create practical tools that streamline clinical workflows and support evidence-based decision-making.
The main objective of Malawi EMR Data Use (MEDU) is to strengthen data use at national, district and facility levels for improved decision making.
