Digital Patient Journey (HMS2)

The project is transitioning the Eastern Cape Department of Health from a predominantly manual patient medical record system that integrates other systems within the digital health landscape in South Africa, that includes NHLS, SANBS, HPRS etc. The system that is deployed is called HMS2, which is a inhouse developed system that maintains a shared medical record, allowing for the electronic recording and sharing of patient journeys (encounters and episodes) within and between healthcare facilities. This significant advancement allows the EC DoH to access real-time patient information across implemented healthcare facilities.
