According to the team, less than a decade ago, 9 out of 10 physicians in the United States relied on paper records, but today over 85% use an EHR system like ours. It’s time for Nigeria’s transition to a technology-driven healthcare system, that’s why we spent years building an innovative solution that is perfect for any hospital or clinic in Nigeria — regardless of size, resources or structure. The platform thus claims to be accelerating Nigeria’s transition to an electronic/data-driven healthcare system. Storing medical information on paper is a common practice in hospitals around the world. This sure comes with it’s own disadvantage. Many times, patients are kept waiting, while nurses/health attendants go in search of their health files from a pile of other health files. This under-development of healthcare information systems has made delivery of care extremely difficult, resulting in thousands of unnecessary mortalities annually. OneMedical is therefore solving a real problem, and with healtcare organisations embracing the platform, it would not only enhance development, but also makes their jobs a lot easier.
