The Thomonde EMR started capturing patient registration and visit notes on October 14, 2016, after a training program of registration staff and clinicians. (As of November 8, 2016, 332 patients were registered in the EMR along with 167 vital signs encounters and 164 visit notes.)
The Lacolline EMR (V2) started on December 5, 2016. 60K patient demographics records were migrated from the Lacolline EMR V1. These were patients who were seen at the Lacolline outpatient clinic between 2012 and 2015. In the first month, over 1000 patients were checked in at the clinic.
Data entry
All data is entered into the EMR at point-of-care. Registration of all new patients is completed by data archivists (name, gender, birthdate, address, insurance info, mother’s name, contact information, etc).

Lacolline V1 (2012 - 2015): Patient registration was introduced at the Lacolline health center to replace an EpiInfo system. The Lacolline EMR produced plastic ID cards to patients, registered new patients with demographic information, collected information at check-in to the clinic, and recorded diagnoses from paper dossier by data entry clerk after the visit in the outpatient clinic. Patient registration and payments were entered at point-of-care. This EMR guided requirements and development of the sophisticated Mirebalais EMR.
MDRTB EMR (2014 - present): Multidrug-resistant TB (MDRTB) EMR in Cange and Hinche with local servers. An earlier ZL MDRTB EMR (2009) was cloud-based and required reliable internet.
Mirebalais EMR (2013 - present): The initial implementation of the ZL EMR. Record every patient who arrives for care at the hospital (Outpatient (SSPH), Emergency, Inpatient, Surgery, Women’s Health, Radiology, Dental, etc) and data entered at point-of-care (new patient registration, patient check-in, clinical consult, vitals, radiology orders, PACS integration, surgery, chemotherapy, appointment scheduling, drug dispensing, etc). Recent additions include mental health assessment, emergency triage workflow, mental health assessment, insurance information, and medical procedures.
ZL EMR (2016+): Roll-out of the ZL EMR at Thomonde and Lacolline health centers, with additional functionality for primary care. Lacolline, Thomonde, and Mirebalais share the same software, but with some features toggled on/off. 60K patients were migrated from Lacolline V1 to the Lacolline ZL EMR (2016).
