The Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Teaching Hospital, Osogbo is in the process of converting its conventional administrative and medical activities to an electronic and online system.
The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Professor Femi Fadiora, told medical consultants in Lagos yesterday that the teaching hospital in a few weeks to come will begin to operate a full e-health system with a fully integrated e-payment module.
According to him, the payment for drugs, all medical tests and every other activity that has to do with money would be done electronically, adding that results of medical tests and patients files would also be saved and accessed electronically.
Fadiora said, “Payment will be done electronically for drugs, medical test, charges and others. Patient files, medical test results and other documents would be saved electronically for proper documentation. This is just the beginning of a new development.”
