Standard for Electronic Health Record system (EHRs) in Ethiopia

This Electronic Health Record System standard is developed in consultation with different stakeholders that includes different MOH directorates, hospitals (public and private), partner organizations, academia and others. It is prepared for both the public and private health institutions. The standard should be followed by all facilities that plan to develop and implement any E H R system/solution. Facilities implementing an EHR System have to comply with this standard for any investments and efforts. They can refer to the minimum technical requirements for the selected E H R system, the security and safety considerations, the implementation requirements and the future scale up mechanisms.
