The Problem I See Every Day
I work as a Statistician at a University Teaching Hospital in Calabar, Nigeria.
Every day I watch the same thing happen.
A doctor is mid-consultation. A patient is sitting across from them. There are 40 more patients waiting outside. The doctor needs to know what the patient's last malaria RDT result was, or what their haemoglobin was three months ago, or whether their blood pressure has been trending upward across visits.
The answer is in the Hospital Management Information System. The data exists.
