Wireless Access for Health Initiative, Inc. (WAH)
The Wireless Access for Health Initiative (WAH) is a public-private partnership put together in 2009 to improve local health governance and access to quality data by health managers, local chief executives, and policy makers. The first of its kind in the country, WAH brings together process management innovation and innovative wireless, mobile, and digital telecommunications technologies to create a clinic-centered health information platform that aids Rural Health Unit (RHU) clinicians improve health care delivery. It features an open-source Electronic Health Record (EHR) system from which new technology modules such as the Synchronized Patient Alerts via SMS (SPASMS) system, EHR-Lite (health data recording and reporting at the point of care), and Statistics Aggregator (web-based health information dashboard) take off. With an open-source platform that is supported by an open-partnership strategy for replication, WAH has found the effective mix that produces results replicable in all parts of the country.
