Rwanda HIE Patient Identity Management System Overview

The Rwanda Health Information Exchange (HIE) system focuses on patient identity management to uniquely identify individuals seeking healthcare across the country. By maintaining a set of identifiers in the client registry and avoiding duplication of patient records, the system ensures efficient and accurate healthcare delivery. The Patient Identity Management (PIM) goals aim to centrally manage patient demographics and associated identifications, facilitating better patient care coordination. Current implementation includes various identity document numbers, unique patient identifiers, and validation processes through national agencies and registries.
