Abstract:
Millions of people are either living with or dying
from HIV/AIDS; most of this
living and dying is
taking place in developing countries. There is an
immediate need for electronic medical record
systems to help scale up HIV/AIDS prevention and
treatment programs, reduc
e critical human errors,
and support the research necessary to guide future
efforts. Several groups are working on this problem,
but most of this work is occurring within silos. To be
more effective, we must find ways to collaborate. We
describe a system built on
the 30+ years of
experience at Regenstrief Institu
te to serve as the
seed for building toward
a common infrastructure.
We discuss the design goals, data model, and
implementation of a data
entry compon
ent.
