Zusammenfassung:Funding: We thank the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, Global AIDS Program, an anonymous donor, and the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) for supporting the development and scale-up of the ART EMR in Malawi. [...]we believe that the primary challenge is to identify and address the value proposition for the user. First conceived the idea of the touchscreen point-of-care approach in 2000, and developed and deployed the first touchscreen point-of-care system in Malawi in 2001: GPD.
