| dc.description.abstract | In Kenya, Medical facilities have made efforts to adopt Electronic Health
Records systems at various levels and for different use cases. However, there lacks a
robust and secure system for sharing sensitive and confidential health records. This
curtails the potential benefits that can be gained by shared electronic health records
especially the antenatal care process. Besides, there lacks a portable mechanism of
sharing patient medical history especially when the patient seeks care from one
provider to another. This situation is even dire and most detrimental to the most
vulnerable of citizens, in expectant mothers, children and marginalized groups. This
study seeks to determine the challenges of Health Information Exchange in Maternal
healthcare, Antenatal Care Process. The findings were drawn from a qualitative
research study conducted at the Nakuru County Level Five Hospital utilizing a case
study methodological approach | en_US |
