| Summary/Abstract |
As in other countries of Central Asia, HIV infections in Kyrgyzstan have increased steeply in recent years, driven by factors such as the sharing of drug paraphernalia among injecting drug users, sex work and other risky sex behaviours, prison settings and infections acquired in hospitals. In contrast to its neighbours, Kyrgyzstan has long been considered a regional pioneer in its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, displaying political will and strong leadership, a timely response, and a multi-sectoral approach to tackle the disease. Yet this progress has become increasingly difficult to sustain in recent years, as it has been undermined by political and social instability, the reorganization of the Country Coordinating Committee to fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the lack of unified mechanisms for data collection, monitoring and evaluation, a high rate of turnover of senior and mid-level staff, stigma and discrimination faced by those most at risk, and heavy dependence on external donors.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is no secret in healthcare today that electronic data capture leads to better policies, better programs, and better outcomes. This understanding paved the way for Electronic Medical Record (EMR) solutions which generate complete records of clinical patient encounters, supporting evidence-based treatments, strategic quality management initiatives, and clinical outcomes reporting. Each of these capabilities gives clinical and administrative healthcare staff actionable data for improving patient care. EMR solutions are equally important in remote and underserved areas as they are in wealthy states and nations, due to the fact that health disparities most notably affect subpopulations. According to a 2012 report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, "racial and ethnic minorities and poor people often face more barriers to care and receive poorer quality of care when they can get it." EMRs can thus provide a benchmarking tool to drive quality improvements, and identify these trends to ensure that local and national authorities can improve care for subpopulations.
