Abstract

The Research in Enterprise Architecture for Coordinated Healthcare (REACH) project aimed to establish an applied research lab focused on eHealth enterprise architecture (EA) specific to the requirements in low-resource and developing country environments. The development of an electronic health records system and technology transfer was accomplished through the programme. Two operating versions of the system’s health information access layer (HIAL) were established; one at the UKZN lab in Durban, the other at Jembi Health System’s offices in Cape Town, South Africa. The Cape Town HIAL is also accessible to remote partners including Zilics Systems in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
