The Right

The right implementation and design of Electronic Medical Records Systems present an opportunity of improvement, since they provide the owners of personal data, who are under treatment in medical care activities, with the exercise of control over them; avoidance of any change; loss or non-authorised access, as well as availability safeguarding, and use in activities that are not strictly within welfare.

Statistical Analysis Method

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is an important communications channel relating to patient health conditions. Unfortunately, many hospitals in Africa, including Nigeria, have not implemented EMR. The few Hospitals that have some level of EMR continues are still struggling with the use of paper and hybrid medical records, which has led to inadequate medical follow-up, medical error, and long waiting time for patients. A sample size of three hundred and ninety-seven (397) was determined using krejcie and morgan models, comprising of strategic managers, and the operational staff drawn from a population of 2889 in the selected hospitals. At the hospital level, purposive sampling was applied in picking strategic managers, while stratified random sampling was method was used to select operational health workers. Questionnaires were used for data collection. The study adopted a descriptive statistical analysis method to describe the existing medical records systems. The finding indicated that the systems in the hospitals are mainly paper-based. The hospitals are also using hybrid system with a few treatment areas having fully electronic medical records systems. In the area where EMR has been implemented, the finding indicates poor penetration of the EMR system, limited modules, staff readiness and poor performance in the treatment area, among others. The study concluded that hospitals that have implemented, EMR is not serving the classical purpose of medical record of supporting treatment and follow up. The study recommended that the selected hospitals should ensure there is the availability of fund, staff training, and technical infrastructures like electronic record managers, ICT support staff, and computer compatible medical devices, among others.

This article explores the factors militating against the diffusion integration electronic medical records in Ghana. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from respondents in the healthcare ecosystem and analyzed quantitatively using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed non-integration of electronic medical records systems among the stakeholders of the healthcare ecosystem mostly due to and interoperability issues. There is also substantial usage of technology in capturing and storing medical records. The key factors militating against the integration of electronic medical records systems are inadequate funds to purchase database management systems, acquisition and maintenance costs of electronic medical records systems, and an unclear return on investment on the integrated electronic medical records systems. The article recommends sustained government financial support, standardization policy and implementation guidelines to facilitate the integration of electronic medical records systems in the various health institutions.

Further Development

Compared with traditional paper medical records, electronic medical records have many advantages such as easy transmission, high efficiency, better accuracy, and easier storage. The further development and penetration of electronic medical records will raise increasingly critical transmitted-data accuracy and security issues. Previous studies have proposed a verifier-based three-party authentication scheme and to provide high efficiency and security, with low computation and transmission costs. However, this protocol fails to achieve anonymity, is vulnerable to tracking attacks, and is inefficient. In this paper, we propose a new authentication scheme which provides patient anonymity and resistance to tracking attacks, while reducing computation and communication costs. The proposed system is easier to implement and is more suitable for use in remote electronic medical record exchange systems.
