Process Overview

As a part of the RHEA project, an HIE has been developed for maternal health in Rwanda. For more information about this implementation see this link. During this implementation, a Shared Health Record (SHR) based on OpenMRS (http://openmrs.org/) was developed. It is expected to work for the pilot implementation of the RHEA project, which is planned to run in a single district of Rwanda; however, it is not known whether this instance and the technology used will scale to a national level.
