Imagine arriving at a hospital, feeling unwell, only to be met with long queues and endless paperwork at every visit. For millions across Nigeria and Africa, this is a frustrating reality. Studies show that average hospital waiting times in Nigeria range between 137 and 168 minutes, with inefficient patient registration being a major contributor to these delays.
Addressing this challenge requires innovative and scalable solutions. OneClick-Med is revolutionizing patient registration by offering a digital platform that centralizes and streamlines the process—reducing wait times, improving efficiency, and enhancing the overall patient experience.
This article explores the challenges of patient registration, the broader impact on healthcare, and how OneClick-Med is leading the charge to create a seamless, patient-centric digital transformation in Nigeria and across Africa.
The Problem: Why Patient Registration Needs a Transformation
- Prolonged Waiting Times
- Patients in Nigeria and across Africa often endure hours-long delays before receiving medical attention. A 2022 WHO report revealed that sub-Saharan Africa has some of the world’s longest hospital wait times, leading to poor health outcomes, increased complications, and patient dissatisfaction.
- Repetitive Information Sharing
- Without integrated health records, patients must repeatedly fill out the same forms at every hospital visit. This not only wastes time but also increases the risk of administrative errors, adding frustration for patients and inefficiencies for healthcare providers.
- Inefficient Record Management
- Many healthcare facilities still rely on manual, paper-based records, making it difficult to track patient histories. This results in lost records, delayed follow-ups, and gaps in patient care, further straining an already overburdened healthcare system.
