Medical Records

While working with Tiyatien Health, Gia and I will be trying to evaluate our medical record keeping system and improve it. Our HIV Equity Initiative Clinic has over 200 patients enrolled now after only 2 years in existence. With a growing cohort of patients, it is imperative that Tiyatien Health have accurate medical records so that we can continue to treat our patients with the highest of standards. So far, Gia and I have examined almost all of the HEI Clinic's charts. As infrastructure in Liberia is still behind, paper charts continue to be used in the Clinic as well as at Martha Tubman Memorial Hospital, where the Clinic is based. Our goal while we are here is to help roll-out an electronic record system and train essential staff on using it. We hope that in doing so, medical records will be accurate, up-to-date, and easily accessed for further research opportunities.
