UUKHA Supporting Outreach EMR

We at Outreach EMR are indebted to the Kampala UUKHA team for their work in supporting the development of our Charity, Outreach EMR, in Uganda over the last few years and in particular for facilitating our forthcoming data transfer pilot, ‘Project Connect’ in Eastern Uganda. Project Connect aims to demonstrate the instant electronic transfer of medical data to DHOs and MOH based on Government HMIS 105 guidelines using DHIS2 platform.

Thanks to UUKHA we have

• Presented to Ugandan E Health working group on two occasions
• Received a visit from the MoH to clinic sites for inspection and approval of our Electronic Medical Records system
• Obtained approval by the MOH to undertake our pilot programme
• Received hosting approval for any collected data
• Advertised, interviewed for and appointed a Ugandan Project Coordinator
• Received assurances that their finance team will handle all distribution of our funds, along with employment contracts and ongoing appraisal of work completed.

This support began over 5 years ago and as a result of our partnership, even before the beginning of project Connect, we have over 130,000 patients across Uganda who are registered with clinics using our EMRs .

We are very grateful for UUKHA support and guidance throughout this time and would not be able to demonstrate electronic transfer of data without their input.
