Hospital information systems could be relevant tools to inform hospital managers, support better management decisions in healthcare, and increase efficiency. Nonetheless, hospital managers’ effective use of these systems to support decision-making in Angola is unknown. Our study aimed to analyse the use of hospital information systems as a tool to support decision-making by hospital managers in Huíla, Angola. It was a descriptive, cross-sectional study inducted between July and September 2017 in seven hospitals in Huíla Province, Angola, specifically in the cities of Lubango and Matala. Thirty-six members of the hospital boards filled out a self-questionnaire that consisted of twenty questions based on the following issues: Characterisation of the interviewee’s profile; availability of information in the institution; and quality and usefulness of the available operational information. At least two thirds of the participants reported being unsatisfied or relatively satisfied with each assessed hospital information systems-specific feature. More than 50% have rarely or never used the health information system to support decision-making. Most managers do not use hospital information systems to support management-related decision-making in Angola. Improving the ability of hospital information systems to compute adequate indicators and training for hospital managers could be targets for future interventions to support better management-related decision-making in Angolan healthcare.

This study addresses the implementation and impact of the Government of Tanzania’s Hospital Management Information System (GoTHOMIS) using a participatory action research (PAR) approach. Its purpose is to assess the implementation factors, strengths and weaknesses of GoTHOMIS on healthcare services in Tanzania. The research employs a PAR methodology involving stakeholders from healthcare facilities, administrators, and I.T. experts. Data collection methods include document evaluation and interviews with key informants. The findings highlight significant areas for improvement in the implementation process, characterized by a top-down approach and a lack of user participation, hindering the system’s successful adoption. Inadequate infrastructure, including network connectivity and outdated hardware, posed further challenges. Compatibility issues with peripheral devices and usability problems were also identified. Despite the challenges, GoTHOMIS demonstrated strengths such as improved accessibility, integration with the MTUHA reporting system, and automation of clinical tasks—weaknesses, including some system components, were only partially automated, which caused inefficiencies in the delivery of healthcare services and failure in integrating with other existing healthcare systems and data sources. Limitations of the study include a focus on selected healthcare facilities, limiting generalizability, and reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce biases. The study’s originality lies in applying a PAR approach to assess GoTHOMIS, providing valuable insights into implementation challenges and potential improvements.
