Electronic Medical Records

Electronic medical records (EMR) for Nigerian clinical teams

Structured consultations, vitals with abnormal-value flagging, lab and radiology results, prescriptions and nursing documentation — one chart from OPD through IPD.

An EMR in Nigeria is only useful if consultants, nurses and allied staff will actually use it during a busy OPD session. DawaHQ keeps the chart fast: templates by specialty, vitals with reference ranges, doctor orders that become nurse tasks, and lab results that land on the chart with critical-value visibility. The same record continues if the patient is admitted — no re-registration on a separate IPD system.

Workflow fit

Clinical documentation connects to billing and HMO automatically — a completed consultation can generate billable items; a lab order flows to the lab module and returns to the chart. That single source of truth is what separates a real EMR from a digital filing cabinet.

What DawaHQ delivers

Structured consultations

SOAP-style and specialty templates — dental, eye, antenatal, mental health and general OPD — with diagnosis and plan fields clinicians expect.

Vitals with range flagging

Blood pressure, pulse, temperature, SpO2 and more show normal ranges; borderline and abnormal values are flagged at entry.

Orders and results

Lab and radiology orders from the chart; results attach to the patient timeline with audit trail of who released them.

Prescriptions and pharmacy

E-prescribing with dispensing workflow; interaction checks where configured; MAR on IPD.

Nursing documentation

Nurse notes, fluid balance and task lists receive the doctor plan — ICU-grade handoff where critical care modules are enabled.

NDPA-aligned access

Role-scoped chart access with patient access logging — who opened the record, when and from which role.

Who this is for

Hospitals replacing paper charts
Clinics adding IPD without a second system
Specialty practices (dental, eye, physio) needing structured EMR
Facilities requiring audit-ready clinical records

Frequently asked questions

Is DawaHQ an EMR or a full HMS?

Both. The EMR is the clinical chart layer; the HMS adds billing, HMO, inventory, multi-location and operational reporting. You can lead with clinical go-live and add operational modules in phases.

Does the EMR work offline?

DawaHQ is a web application optimised for hospital networks. Offline-first EMR is on the roadmap for select workflows; discuss connectivity constraints during your demo.

Can we import existing patient data?

Yes — migration scope depends on your current format (spreadsheets, legacy exports). We assess data quality and map fields during onboarding.
