The authors identified research based on these datasets (published between 2008 and 2020), described the data quality studies for each dataset, and evaluated ‘fitness-for-purpose’ of the published research.

This article reports on the post-implementation challenges affecting the deployment and use of EHRs through in-depth interviews with health workers in two health facilities in southern Ghana. The authors identified a number of surmountable concerns, common among users of EHRs in other countries: the need for technological, logistical and managerial support, improved telecommunications infrastructure, and budgeted ongoing funding.
