We describe a handheld-based electronic medical record (EMR) for use in certain rural settings. The system is based on the Linux operating system and allows access to large mobile databases. The open source system is designed for paramedical health workers serving remote areas in rural India. A PDA loaded with the handheld-based EMR provides workers who have little access to medical doctors with different kinds of decision support and alerts. It addresses two important problems in developing countries: prenatal care and child health. This paper describes the technical challenges and innovation needed in the design, development, adaptation and implementation of the handheld EMR in a real setting in India
我们描述了一种用于某些农村地区的基于手持设备的电子病历(EMR)。该系统基于Linux操作系统,允许访问大型移动数据库。这个开源系统是为服务于印度农村偏远地区的医护辅助人员设计的。加载了基于手持设备的电子病历的个人数字助理(PDA)为很少能接触到医生的工作人员提供了各种决策支持和警报。它解决了发展中国家的两个重要问题:产前护理和儿童健康。本文描述了在印度实际环境中设计、开发、适配和实施手持电子病历所需面对的技术挑战和创新。
