Abstract: The potential misalignment between new technologies entering healthcare requires attention. This paper will compare the fit between an Open Source Electronic Medical Record Solution (OpenMRS) and a clinical guideline that outlines the requirements for the care of a patient. Design/methodology: A process analysis technique is used to construct and analyse the fit between the processes as stipulated by the South African clinical guidelines for Tuberculosis (TB) and that of the OpenMRS. This technique has been used to identify inefficiencies and opportunities. Lean principles are applied in the analysis to identify waste in the process. Findings: Process analysis has provided valuable insight into the working of both the system and the provision of this healthcare service. The OpenMRS solution has a good fit to the South African healthcare context with some minor gaps between the system processes and that of the clinical guidelines. In addition, wasteful tasks have been flagged within t he clinical guideline processes which appear to be due to limited consideration being paid to the patient's end-to-end care process. (More)
