Aya Data digitised 100+ patient records for an African healthcare provider, improving the firm’s efficiency, information retrieval, and decision-making capabilities.
The Challenge
Many healthcare providers in Africa still use paper records to manage patient information. This old-fashioned approach makes it difficult to quickly access and analyse data, which can slow down decision-making and limit the quality of care.
Our client, a major healthcare provider with over 50 years of experience across African markets, faced these challenges. Their reliance on paper records meant that accessing patient history and operational details was slow and cumbersome. They realised that digitising these records could improve their services and patient outcomes.
The Solution
Aya Data was tasked with digitising the client’s extensive paper records. Here’s how we approached the problem:
- Digital Scanning: We scanned over 100 patient folders to create digital copies.
- Data Conversion: Using advanced technology, we converted these scanned documents into a searchable digital database. Each patient record was given a unique ID for easy tracking.
- Data Analysis and Labelling: Our team, including medical professionals, organised and labelled the data using custom software to ensure accurate and useful information.
The Results
The digitisation project led to several key improvements:
- Efficiency: With physical records no longer needing to be manually handled, staff could focus on more important tasks, boosting overall productivity.
- Quick Access: Digital records made it faster and easier to find patient information, improving decision-making and service speed.
- Informed Decisions: Analysing the digital data helped the client spot trends and patterns, leading to better-informed decisions and more effective healthcare strategies.
By moving from paper-based records to a digital system, the client greatly improved their operational efficiency and decision-making abilities.
