White Paper (PDF), Blueprint for a Low Cost Automated Spreadsheet Hospital Management Information System (HMIS)™

In August 2007, an old client engaged me to write a research based paper on development of a low cost networkable Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) for a South Western state in Nigeria. We later traveled down from Lagos, to the state, so I could present the paper, but were unable to meet with top decision makers.

I’ ve published a revised version now on sale as an ebook White Paper titled <a href=”http://www.lulu.com/nl/nl/shop/tayo-solagbade/blueprint-for-a-low-cost-automated-spreadsheet-hospital-management-information-system/ebook/product-21932720.html” target=”blank”>Blueprint for a Low Cost Automated Spreadsheet Hospital Management Information System door Tayo Solagbade (e-boek) – Lulu NL</a>.

Below is the ebook cover, and an outline of the Table of Contents (The numbers in front of each section title are page numbers)

Subtitle: A highly participatory approach to the design & implementation- using Excel Visual Basic – of a Low Cost, but highly Effective/Efficient Integrated HMIS that makes medical care delivery easier/more rewarding for providers.
