February 5, 2016 – Two municipalities from Nueva Vizcaya particularly Sta. Fe and Quezon were selected as the implementation sites of the project “eHealth TABLET (Technology Assisted Boards for Efficiency and Transparency) for Informed Decision making of LGUs ” or eHATID LGU.

Three representatives from each municipality attended the orientation, training and deployment on the eHATID LGU project at Valley Hotel, Alimanao Hills, Penablanca, Cagayan.   Each municipality was awarded with two Lenovo tablets with  pre-installed eHATID LGU mobile application.

The eHATID LGU project is one of the eHealth projects of the Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) with the Ateneo De Manila University for  Community Empowerment through Science and Technology (CEST).

This project provides health information system and decision-making support to LGUs through an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) that generates particular health reports for the Department of Health (DOH) and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).  It aims to improve efficiency and transparency among stakeholders using an enhanced health information system (HIS) model that promotes health information convergence and informed decision-making.

Also, the project supports and is compliant with the information technology requirements of the PhilHealth Outpatient Benefit Package Plus (OPB+) otherwise known as the TSeKAP – Tamang Serbisyo para sa Kalusugan ng Pamilyang Pilipino.  The TSeKAP  caters primarily to the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries
