Hospital & Health Care - Tarlac City, Central Luzon, Philippines
Wireless Access for Health Initiative is a public-private partnership (PPP) that was put together as a project in 2009 to improve access by local clinics and governments to quality health data leading to improved local health governance. Towards this goal, the Initiative helped develop and replicate an open-source electronic medical record (WAH-EHR) in four pilot sites in the municipalities of Gerona, Paniqui, Moncada, and Victoria. The WAH Initiative was thus born as a multi-stakeholder PPP on e-/m-Health that features ten organizations led by the Province of Tarlac and supported by the Department of Health; the private sectors' Qualcomm Incorporated and Smart Communications; academic partners in University of the Philippines Manila – National Telehealth Center (UP-NThC) and Tarlac State University (TSU), and non-government organizations such as RTI International, League of Municipalities of Tarlac, and United States Agency for International Aid (USAID). Zuellig Family Foundation came in 2012 to support the national scale-up in 46 poor municipalities. From a mere electronic medical record provider (EMR), WAH has converted itself into a full-fledged e-/m-Health technology and service provider. The WAH e-/m-Health platform now boasts of added features such as SMS Patient Alerts, online data analytics dashboard, and the use of mobile devices for data recording and reporting at the point of care. Starting with four pilot clinics in 2009, WAH is now present in over 100 clinics and is partner to almost 100 provinces, cities, and municipalities covering Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
