Design a Program to Improve Patient Data Recording According to the Tenth International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) in the Wasit Health Department/Iraq for 2025

Abstract

Recent advances in electronic technology, the increasing reliance on electronic health records, and the availability of big data analytics software and systems in healthcare have opened the door to precision medicine. Electronic health records are organized collections of patient information, collected and consolidated in real-time and stored digitally. EHRs were originally designed to facilitate the transfer of patient data, support decision-making, and improve the quality of care. This study aims: to apply (EHRs-WHD)  Electronic health records software in the Wasit Health Department to record diseases. Program design: An applied program to record data of patients visiting the health institutions. Setting: Consultancy Clinic, Primary Health Care Centre in Kut. Sampling: A convenience sample of two health institutions in Kut. Tools and Measurements: The following materials were used to implement the program (Windows PC, laser printer, barcode reader). Results: This program significantly reduces effort, time, fatigue, and error. If used online, it can also speed up the time it takes to send and receive data, reduce the number of people responsible for entering data, and provide more accurate and comprehensive reports to officials and decision-makers. Conclusion: Apply (EHRs-WHD) Electronic Health Records Software. This will facilitate the Ministry of Health's efforts to gain insights into disease prevalence, regional disparities, and demographic-specific health trends.
