A framework for adapting health-level7 techniques in Ghanaian institutions

The project considers the different information systems that exist within the various major hospitals in Ghana solely with the objective to design an application that supports HL7 messaging standard for exchanging healthcare data between major healthcare institutions in Ghana. The ultimate goal is to integrate and share information more reliably reducing the problems of data redundancy, integrity, availability, accessibility, usability, and safety and security. Furthermore, the application should be able to enable communication between databases or migrate data from different databases back and forth irrespective of the database engines used in these major health institutions in Ghana. This research work explores efficient techniques to solving these problems without messing them up.
