WHO OWNS THE DATA?
Patient information is more than records stored in a hospital system. It carries rights, responsibilities, risks and value.

But who really owns health data in Nigeria? Who can access it, use it, share it or make decisions with it?

Join us as we explore Data Governance and Privacy in Nigeria, and unpack what this means for patients, healthcare professionals, organisations and the future of digital health.

Excerpts from our webinar
BEYOND THE FOLDERS: REIMAGINING HIM
By Mrs. Titilayo Foloki

Transformation happens when we intentionally leverage modern technology to upskill ourselves beyond what we were taught in school.In this age of AI, Analytics, and Digital Health tools, we must evolve.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
We must:

1. COLLECT THE DATA
At the source. Accurately. Completely. Timely.

2. VALIDATE THE DATA
Clean it. Deduplicate it. Make it trustworthy with Power Query.

3. INTEGRATE THE DATA
Break the silos. Connect facilities and programs using DHIS2 Tools.

4. ANALYZE THE DATA
Find the trends and patterns. Use Excel, Power Query, Power BI, DHIS2 Analytics, Python, and more.

5. INTERPRET THE DATA
Tell the story. What do the numbers mean for our patients and our community?

6. COMMUNICATE THE DATA
Visualize it. Dashboard it. Share it. Influence with it.

7. DRIVE INFORMED DECISIONS WITH THE DATA
Move from reports to results. From insight to impact.

Once we start working thus, the image of HIM will shift.
FROM Data Clerks or Data Custodians to data Innovators.

FROM Record Keepers to Decision Drivers

This is how we reposition HIM for the Digital Era.
