dc.description.abstractDevelopment of an open architectural framework is a necessary first step to facilitate the design and rapid implementation of effective National Health Information Systems (NHIS). Based on field experiences and requirements in South Africa, Mozambique and Rwanda, the Health Enterprise Architecture laboratory (at the School of Computer Science, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) is evolving a generic Health Enterprise Architecture Framework and Repository of Tools specifically for low resource settings. The paper describes these three initiatives and some impacts expected from implementing health information systems in developing African countries.en
