This dissertation presents a comprehensive study on the design and implementation of an Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system tailored for Nigerian hospitals. It addresses the limitations of the traditional paper-based information systems and proposes a modern ICT integrated solution. The research covers the system architecture, database design, and implementation challenges, emphasizing the benefits of EMRs in improving patient information management, retrieval, and archiving. The study includes a literature review, theoretical framework, and detailed methodology involving use case analysis, diagramming, and database implementation using software like Caspio, Zoho, and Ninox. It also explores stakeholder perspectives, implementation barriers, and potential solutions to overcome challenges such as poor internet connectivity, political issues, and staff resistance. The dissertation concludes with a critical evaluation of the EMR system's effectiveness and its potential to enhance healthcare delivery in Nigeria.
