Abstract Background: Despite the improvements in the knowledge and understanding of the role of health information in the global health system, the quality of data generated by a routine health information system is still very poor in low and middle-income countries. There is a paucity of studies as to what determines data quality in health facilities in the study area. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the quality of routine health information system data and associated factors in public health facilities of Harari region, Ethiopia.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in all public health facilities in Harari region of Ethiopia. The department-level data were collected from respective department heads through document reviews, interviews, and observation check-lists. Descriptive statistics were used to data quality and multivariate logistic regression was run to identify factors influencing data quality. The level of significance was declared at P-value <0.05. Result: The study found a good quality data in 51.35% (95% CI, 44.6-58.1) of the departments in public health facilities in Harari Region. Departments found in the health centers were 2.5 times more likely to have good quality data as compared to departments found in the health posts. The presence of trained staffs able to fill reporting formats (AOR=2.474; 95%CI: 1.124-5.445) and provision of feedback (AOR=3.083; 95%CI: 1.549-6.135) were also significantly associated with data quality. Conclusion: The level of good data quality in the public health facilities was less than the expected national level. Training should be provided to increase the knowledge and skills of the health workers.

Abstract Issue/problem Local public health actors often need to identify public health priorities in their territories to guide public health policy and/or action. Description of the problem The Southeastern Health Regional Observatory (ORS Paca) has been developing since 2006 a health information system for Southeastern France (SIRSéPACA). The objective of this mapping tool is to give access to regional and local public health actors to public health indicators for various population groups and geographical scales (municipality, districts...) within the region. Results Indicators are displayed under the format of maps and tables on the following topics: morbidity, mortality, health social, economic or environmental determinants. Indicators are constructed using national and regional databases (open or accessible through agreements). SIRSéPACA is in free access (www.sirsepaca.org) and regularly updated. A function allows the users to obtain a portrait for a defined geographical area and to obtain in one click a description of various indicators (socio-economic and demographic characteristics, mortality and morbidity causes, health care and prevention, environmental health). Indicators for a given territory can be compared to the regional average (or another area). SIRSéPACA is regularly used to provide a description of the main public health characteristics of territories (“territorial diagnose”), e.g. to help health professionals intending to set up of a multidisciplinary group practice designing their project. Lessons Trainings on how to use the tool, interpret the maps produced, and about territorial diagnoses implementation are regularly done. We are also developing a similar tool for all French regions for the Ministry of Health. Key messages SIRSéPACA facilitates access to and overview of a lot of indicators and data for local public health actors. This regional experience has been expanded to national level.

This study aims to examine the current status and utilization of 22 health promotion projects that use the health care information system. We investigate the health promotion examination results for a counseling project held at health centers, which use information connected with the Health Insurance Corporation. First, we review the status of 22 health promotion projects, including 13 integrated health promotion projects and 9 other health promotion projects. Next, we examine the linkages between the 22 projects and other health promotion systems. Consequently, despite accumulating vast amounts of data, only 10 places could be linked to health promotion data in the health and medical information system; the Social Security Information Service was the only exception to this trend. The Public Health Information System (PHIS) had the lowest data utilization rate in the project. The study results show that it is necessary to utilize data from local health and medical institutions in order to provide information system-based health promotion services. In particular, it seems to be effective when health and medical institutions provided various counseling services and other linked services to local residents in connection with the Korea Health Insurance Corporation’s health examination results.

Jawa Barat merupakan wilayah rentan kejadian bencana. Kabupaten Ciamis merupakan daerah yang mempunyai tingkat kerawanan cukup tinggi terhadap kejadian bencana alam tanah longsor dan banjir berdasarkan pemetaan secara global 2012-2029. Namun demikian, penanganan bencana belum tertangani secara optimal. Penanganan korban pada kondisi bencana belum tertangani dengan baik karena minimnya koordinasi, data layanan kesehatan yang tidak memadai sehingga menyebabkan tidak tertanganinya korban akibat bencana. Penggunaan sistem informasi dalam penanganan bencana sangat diperlukan khususnya untuk aspek layanan kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian ini terbentuknya sistem informasi kesehatan khususnya dalam penanganan bencana di Kabupaten Ciamis untuk memudahkan dalam koordinasi penanganan korban dimulai dari lokasi bencana, evakuasi dan transportasi korban ke tempat layanan kesehatan yang sangat tergantung dari kondisi korban, sarana dan prasarana fasilitas kesehatan, logistik yang dibutuhkan, jarak dan waktu tempuh ke tempat layanan kesehatan, serta sumber daya manusia di tempat layanan kesehatan. Penelitian menggunakan metode riset terapan, menggunakan sistem informasi geografis (SIG) dengan perangkat lunak arcgis. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu terbentuknya prototipe sistem informasi kesehatan di Kabupaten Ciamis yang diberi nama “Sistem Informasi Bencana Padjadjaran (SIMBARAN)” berisi elemen kesehatan yang diperlukan selama bencana meliputi layanan kesehatan terdekat di sekitar kejadian, sumber daya manusia yang tersedia, saranan prasarana, penanggung jawab program dan sistem rujukan sehingga memudahkan dalam koordinasi penanganan korban yang nantinya diharapkan dapat menurunkan angka kematian korban akibat bencana ataupun kejadian kecelakaan lainnya. Direkomendasikan agar setiap kabupaten di wilayah Jawa Barat memiliki model Sistem Informasi Bencana karena wilayah Jawa Barat yang rentan terhadap kejadian bencana.Kata kunci: Aspek kesehatan, mitigasi, sistem informasi, “simbaran”. Disaster Mitigation Management use Information Technology in CiamisAbstractWest Java is one of region with susceptible disaster. Ciamis is an area that has a fairly high level of vulnerability to natural disasters as landslides and floods based mapping globally from 2012 to 2029. However, disaster management has not handled optimally. Handling of victims in the disaster condition is not handled properly due to lack of coordination, health services data is inadequate, causing no casualties from the disaster Settlement. Using of information systems in disaster management is indispensable, especially for health services aspects. The study purpose is establishment of health information systems, especially in disaster management in Ciamis to facilitate the coordination of the handling of victims starting from the disaster site, evacuation and transportation of victims to the health service that is highly depend on the condition of the victim, facilities and infrastructure of health facilities, logistics required, distance and time to the health service, and human resources in the health service. The research method applied research, using a geographic information system (GIS) software ArcGIS. The results of this study is the formation of a prototype health information system in Ciamis, named “Information System Disaster Padjadjaran (SIMBARAN)” contains the elements necessary health during disasters include the nearest health service in the vicinity of the incident, the human resources available, the proposition infrastructure, responsible program and a referral system to facilitate the coordination of the handling of victims who might be expected to decrease the death toll from the disaster or other accident scene. This study being recommended for each district in West Java has a Disaster Information System model because West Java region that is susceptible to disaster events.Keywords: Information systems, health aspects, mitigation, “simbaran”.
