As part of its efforts to revolutionise patient care and healthcare operations, the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPHC) yesterday unveiled its  Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system in the medical clinic at the hospital.

According to Advisor to the Minister of Health, Dr Leslie Ramsammy, the implementation of this technology will run for a period of three years, during which enhanced efficiency, increased accuracy, and improved patient experiences will be prioritised.

“We are putting in place for the pharmacy and the laboratory to have interoperability capacity so that they can link into the electronic medical record that is being pioneered here, Ramsammy explained.
