text: Technical Solution Design – Africa eHealth Solutions
  As part of our technical solution design, we undertake the following consultancy services:
  Feasibility studies: we undertake a thorough in-country analysis of the practicality and usefulness of introducing IT prior to project formulation, including a technical assessment of the existing IT infrastructure, connectivity, presence of technical service providers, availability and costs of hardware. In addition, stakeholder analysis is performed to assess existing regulations and policies and followed by a workflow analysis.
  Solution design: Using a multi-stakeholder approach, we facilitate the process to support creative thinking and decision-making in order to design the desired solution.
  Evaluation and project management: We do an evaluation of the (cost) effectiveness, quality and organizational impact of an IT-based solution. Through action research, we manage the entire IT implementation process from the needs analysis stage to the solution design and finally a study of the effects of the implementation process.
  We offer 24/7 technical support, both on-site and remotely through our local partner. We provide assistance related to our own products and solutions and to systems that have already been implemented.
  AeHS is a pan-African network that focusses on developing high-quality, affordable ICT-based solutions which enable healthcare providers in Africa to further improve the quality of their health services.
  "With the paper-based system, some tests or procedures are lost or altered as the patient's paper files have to go from the ward to the pharmacy to accounts and then back to the ward again. Now the bill can be generated with the click of a button as soon as the patient is discharged. We also are able to work out how many beds are occupied as well as what the expected revenue is, which we can then compare to the actual revenue. Even for drugs we know the prescription and number of pills given and the amount the patient is supposed to pay at any given time. "
