This system will be implemented in 3 hospitals and 47 health centres at a cost of\u00a0 US$8.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo from patient administration to clinical management, to accounting and billing, to administration, to morgue management, every single aspect will be digitized,\u201d Jean Pierre said.<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cSo imagine as a patient you go to the St Joseph Health Centre for care and you are being referred to the Dominica-China Friendship Hospital. The doctor would have had all of the information and what would be remaining is providing you with the care that you need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cSo they no longer need to ask the questions that would have been asked at the St Joseph Health Centre with this new system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean Pierre spoke of telemedicine, \u201cSo if a doctor from outside of Dominica wants to consult on your case, access can be provided to that doctor for that information to be able to provide you with the care that is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Dr. Jean Pierre has revealed that the department has met with all of the doctors, nurses,\u00a0 and staff of the primary healthcare hospitals in order to sensitize them to the implementation of the system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have gotten their feedback and we have actually created all the system\u2019s requirement documents&#8230;and our next step is to begin the whole customization of the system to tell the vendors exactly what we want and how we want it, and then to go into what we call production,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd, of course, before we go into production we will be coming to the public to hear from them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Project Manager for the Caribbean Digital Transformation Project Dr. Jermaine Jean-Pierre has revealed that every aspect of the health sector in Dominica will be digitalized with the implementation of a health management and information system.
