LASHMA SUPPORTS ILERA EKO PRIVATE PROVIDERS WITH ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SOFTWARE
The Agency (LASHMA), in its commitment to ensure that there is improved service delivery from its Service Providers and that access to healthcare services is seamless for all enrollees, has supported ILERA EKO Private Providers with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) software by Clinify EMR Technology Services Limited.
The support to private health facilities under the ILERA EKO scheme became necessary to ensure that both the Agency and the Providers are on the same page in the use of technology.
As some of the health facilities without EMR software often experience delays in submitting their claims; since data is important for the sustainability of health insurance, technological support to ILERA EKO health facilities that are yet to be digitised is timely.
With the deployment of the technology, waiting time by Enrollees and consultation period by the Hospitals will be reduced making service provision more efficient. This will also increase enrolment into the Health insurance scheme.
The EMR software is patient-friendly as Enrollees will have access to their medical records including laboratory tests, can upload their vitals for instance blood pressure via a link, access telemedicine services and can also get the results of their tests through emails among others.
We deeply appreciate Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for facilitating the provision of the EMR software to private health facilities under the ILERA EKO scheme, and we have no doubt that the technology will go a long way in reducing the bottlenecks associated with the access and provision of healthcare services.
The EMR software is set to be deployed to 25 per cent of the private facilities on our scheme in this first phase.
