An Empirical Examination of the Factors Influencing the Intention to Use Health Information System with Decision Support for Stroke Risk Assessment and Prediction

Abstract Background The Health Information System (HIS) is a set of computerized tools for the collection, storage, management, and transmission of health data. The role of such tools in supporting the modernization of health systems, improving access to quality healthcare, and reducing costs in developing countries is unquestionable, but their implementation faces several challenges. In Gabon, a unique national electronic HIS has been launched. It will connect healthcare institutions and providers at all levels in the whole country. Objective This study aims to explore and identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions of the national electronic HIS in Gabon. Methods A 44-item questionnaire based on the Information System Success Model (ISSM) was administered between February and April 2018 among 2,600 healthcare providers across the country. The questions assessed the different aspects of the HIS that could influence its perceived impact on a 5-level Likert scale (from fully agree to totally disagree). The reliability and construct validity of the questionnaire were checked using Cronbach alpha and congeneric reliability coefficients. A logistic regression was used to identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions of the system. Results A total of 2,327 questionnaires were completed (i.e. 89.5% response rate). The logistic regression identified five elements that significantly influenced perceived system impact: System Quality (Odds Ratio–OR=1.70), Information Quality (OR=1.69), Actual Use (OR=1.41), Support Quality (OR=1.37), and Useful Functions (OR=1.14). The model explained 30% of the variance in providers’ perception that the national HIS leads to positive impacts. Discussion The results show that healthcare providers’ perceptions regarding the positive impact of the national HIS in Gabon are influenced by their previous use of an HIS, the scope of their usage, and the quality of the system, information, and support provided to users. These results could inform the development of strategies to ensure adequate change of management and user experience for the implementation of the national HIS in Gabon, and eventually in other low resource environments.

The Impact

Abstract There is no systematic monitoring of global spreading of pathogens through international trade carried out by any organisation regulating world-wide trade in animals and their products. A critical evaluation of the impact of international trade provisions on global pathogen spread is missing as well. Data related to this kind of analysis are no more internationally collected. However, information on animal infection occurrence is of paramount importance for decision-making on animal health import conditions based on pathogen introduction risk assessment considering first of all the epizootiological situation in exporting countries. Actual international animal health information system covers just a small part of known animal infections and provides much less information on their occurrence and epizootiological characteristics than before (except for a few selected emergency infections). It provides the importing countries zero or insufficient data for objective risk assessment to avoid pathogen introduction through international trade. Illegal export/import is not recorded in any information system. The globalisation era trade requires much more efficient information system, including monitoring of global spread of pathogenic microflora through trade, as the basis for more effective international preventive and control anti-epizootic measures. There is an urgent need to re-establish animal health information system within the United Nations Organization as its inseparable component for follow-up execution of animal health technical assistance and global anti-epizootic programmes.

Abstract Background: Health information System(HIS) is a set of computerized toolsfor the collection, storage, management and transmission of health data.Their role in supporting the modernization of health systems, improving access to quality healthcare and reducing costs in developing countries is unquestionable; but their implementation faces several challenges. In Gabon, a unique national electronic HIShas been launched.It will connect healthcare institutions and providers at all levels in the whole country.Objective: This study aims to explore and identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions of the national electronic HIS. Methods: We adapted a questionnairebased on the Information System Success Model (ISSM).Twenty six hundreds(2600) healthcare providers,recruited across the country, took part in the research. We checked the reliability and validity of the application and performed a logistic regression to identify the factors influencing healthcare providers’ perceptions towards the system.Results: A total of 2327 questionnaires were completed (i.e. 89.5% response rate). The logistic regression identified five elements that significantly influenced perceived system impact: System Quality (Odds Ratio–OR=1.70), Information Quality (OR=1.69), Actual Use (OR=1.41), Support Quality (OR=1.37), and Useful Functions (OR=1.14). The model explained 30% of the variance in providers’ perceptionshow that the HIS leads to positive impacts. Discussion: The results show that healthcare providers’ perceptions regarding the positive impact are influenced by their use of a previous HIS, the scope of their usage and the quality of the system, information and support provided to users. These results could inform the development of strategies to ensure adequate change of management and user experience for the implementation of the national electronic HIS in Gabon, and eventually in other low resources environment.
