Sanford World Clinic is the global arm of Sanford Health, originally created to provide primary care services for children but eventually expanding to serve people of all ages.  The organization aims to make healthcare accessible to as many people as possible.

“ZH Healthcare’s mission matched Sanford World Clinic’s perfectly,” Shameem C. Hameed, CEO of ZH Healthcare said. “Sanford World Clinic needed a flexible, customizable electronic health solution that could adapt to the diverse needs of their clinics in different countries.”

Initial roll out will start in 20 rural community clinics in Ghana, with plans to expand in-country and across the world.

“The global nature of our work necessitated we look for a malleable solution that will adapt to the needs and regulations of various countries,” Jim Slack, vice president at Sanford World Clinic said. “We can build clinical workflows to fit our exact needs, no matter the speciality of care or the language requirement.”

Hameed agrees.

“The ability to customize this software enables health services in vulnerable, developing regions and empowers doctors to provide better, more coordinated care,” he said.

blueEHR provides medical teams everywhere with the option of a modular, SaaS, electronic health solution, for both ambulatory and acute care, anywhere. The solution can be fully customized to fit various language, regulatory and medical needs.
