                                    Arpajon Hospital, France

                                    This presentation will focus on the ehealth market in France, and the roles that French hospitals are playing to support new
                                    initiatives on patients services for returning home: outpatient management, incubation of innovative projects in neurology and
                                    cardiology, monitoring devices for the elderly and use of personalised patients follow-up with apps.

                                    The french experience in electronic health record will be discussed, as its use and challenges are still needed to be overcome
                                    in order to build an efficient strategy of implementation, a standardised and stable environment that helps support innovation
                                    in health.

                                    This presentation will also discuss successes and failures in change management, and the importance of real incentives for
                                    clinicians, in the French context.

Wednesday, 4 May                    eHealth and Healthcare in Nigeria

                                    The eHealth project started as an Interactive Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) on the 5 January 2009 in
                                    Lagos states of Nigeria. It involved 25 secondary and about 60 primary healthcare facilities and a teaching hospital in phases.

                                    The software is a broad-based modular solution with 14 modules, i.e. records, consultation, nursing, pharmacy, radiology,
                                    physiotherapy, dental services, human nutrition, mortuary services, facility stock, billing system, emergency services and
                                    community health. Only five modules are being utilised as at today, i.e. electronic health records, consultation, nursing,
                                    pharmacy, and physiotherapy. These five modules ensure fast access to registered patients’ complete and reliable medical
                                    history, penetration of rural communities and distant patients for early diagnosis and management. This results in reduced
                                    morbidity, mortality and cost through GSM phone adaptation. With a population of about 170 million people, we now have
                                    148,427,043 active lines. This is our biggest re-engineering impact.

                                    We are yet to achieve the standards of ehealth (Telemedicine) in advanced economies. Our challenges include low literacy,
                                    cultural barriers, poor runding (worsened by leakages), poor system availability and reliability, Non-web based system
                                    solution, hardware, software and power failures; out-dated and non computerised hospital equipment, privacy protection
                                    legislation etc.

                                    In order to square up to these challenges, the Lagos state government is investing heavily on e-governance (tagged Citizen
                                    Relationship Management) and captures all Ministries, Department And Agencies (MDAs). Challenges like environmental
                                    pollution, vehicular gridlock, febrile illness, crops, natural disasters etc. go electronically to the appropriate government
                                    agency. A web-based solution that uses smart devices with high processing ability and user-friendliness would soon be
                                    launched as designed by one of the world’s software giants. Telemedicine (ehealth) is part of this programme and we shall
                                    certainly benefit from it.
