Abstract

Most advanced nations have existing software systems that
enforce a significant level of Health Information Exchange interoperability.
A straightforward implementation or integration of
the technique of such an application into the healthcare system
in regions that have infrastructure challenges may not achieve
the maximum result. Existing EHR interoperability solutions are
primarily Web-based and are explicitly compatible to particular
health standards. Resulting from this, such current technologies
also need, at the very least, secure access to internet connectivity.
On the other hand, several regions around the world (especially
in developing countries) are characterized with bad internet
accessibility, imbalanced spread of computer technology and
literacy, and acute information breach.Therefore, this work aims
to develop a system that allows patient records to be exchanged
between health facilities given the challenge of lack of ubiquitous
internet connectivity, unreliable internet access and also bridging
the digital divide gap.This research will have positive impacts
on different stakeholders in the health sector. Health institutions
can access patients’ information evading the issue of poor or no
internet connectivity. As a result of this, healthcare professionals
will be able to give better and prompt treatments in cases
of emergencies and avoid medical errors. Medical practitioners
will also not have to deal with the communication gap or barrier
when seeing a patient with low literacy level.This research
would not only be of relevance to the health sector, it can also
be adapted by other sectors using the USSD technology as a
means of storage and retrieval of information.
