TRACplus and Kigali Health Institute conducted a two day workshop at Serena Hotel, Kigali, to discuss he proposed Rwanda Health Education and Information Network (RHEIN) project.
The project is to incorporate two components: education through electronic learning (E-learning) to be undertaken by KHI, and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) which will be done by TRACplus.
The E-learning project is going to design an internet curriculum for nurses to undertake medical courses. The electronic medical records will be a data base for patient-treatment and related records, connecting the lower medical levels with the national database.
"This will create improved data quality for both patient-detailed data and aggregate data for the program, to enable better use of patient data by the health providers," said Dr Asiimwe, director of TRACplus.

This project will improve patient services; nurses will have new skills and clinical data will be more efficient, she added.
