Summary

Informatics to support nations that are less resource rich

In this issues provides evidence that good design can facilitate implementation. This issue continues an ongoing theme that we must not make assumptions about the effectiveness of IT; as scientists, we should continually question and challenge.[1]. Our first paper explores how careful planning is needed to implement computerised medical records (CMR) in less resource rich countries. Our first paper describes how the open source Bahami system (https://www.bahmni.org/, a front end for OpenMRS http://openmrs.org/) has been implemented in Nepal.[2] Our paper looks at the less resource rich, but this time how IT systems in community health facilities might help low-income individuals and families avoid potentially disastrous gaps in their public health insurance.[3]
