The Association of General Private Medical Practitioners of Nigeria (AGPMPN) Lagos and Medismarts have announced the signing of a strategic partnership agreement that will see Medismarts deploy its Electronic Medical Records (EMR) cloud platform to its over 2,000 member hospitals in the state.

As part of the agreement, Medismarts will ensure that all hospital records in all member hospitals within the 18 AGPMPN zones in Lagos state are digitized and interconnected. , Medismarts will also be providing the association with a dashboard with analytics showing different metrics and reports concerning health delivery in Lagos state by April 2016.

By this agreement, regular patients of any of the over 2,000 AGPMPN member hospitals will have their medical records saved in a digital format and uploaded to Medismarts Electronic Medical Records (EMR) cloud platform. As a result, such patients can easily be attended to at any AGPMPN member hospital without them having to carry a hard copy of their medical history as this staff of the new hospital can easily check the patient’s medical history by accessing it on the cloud platform.

AGPMPN, aka Nigeria Private Doctors Association and Medismart agreed to configure the platform and deliver same at no cost to the private hospital practitioners in Lagos State. Access to the system for every registered account holder is for a life time.

Speaking on this development, Dr. Adeyeye. J. Arigbabuwo, Chairman AGPMPN Lagos, “talks have commenced with the various IT partners to see near free supply of the hardware necessary to drive home this laudable project. The only investment to be made by a hospital is to provide either a computer desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone that is internet enabled. Medismarts will manage all backend issues and ensure that access is 24/7 with little or no down time. With the expected success of this unique project, we hope to re-enforce and take medical practice in Lagos to the next level.”
