Dr. Pratap Kumar, a Senior Faculty Member at Strathmore University Business School, alongside Stephen Sammut, Jason Madan, Sherri Bucher, and Meghan Bruce Kumar wrote a commentary titled Digital ≠ paperless: novel interfaces needed to address global health challenges. Their commentary was subsequently published in the prestigious BMJ Global Health Journal.
The commentary delves into health information systems and looks at health information systems going digital as opposed to going paperless as an ideal information system of the future.
“When the decision to use information technology is made, ‘going digital’ is commonly equated with ‘going paperless’. Going paperless is challenging, especially for healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings,” reads the commentary article in part.
