The Minister of State for Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire has advised health records officers in the country to improve on their services in order to make quality healthcare available to Nigerians.
He said this yesterday when he visited the headquarters of the Health Records Officers Registration Board of Nigeria in Abuja.
He urged the board to work on its members saying the medical records department is the first that a patient goes to in a hospital, and the attitude of the personnel there could discourage or encourage the patient to access care in the hospital. Ehanire said the electronic health records system is progressing well in many hospitals in the country adding that it is fast, easy and less prone to corruption and mismanagement.
Registrar of the board, Alhaji Mohammed Ibrahim Mami said hospitals and clinics in the country are still far from getting maximum impact of the board because they recruit untrained persons to man health records departments.
