Total enumeration technique was used to cover all the 306 healthcare professionals in the 30 local government areas. A validated questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. The reliability coefficient for the variables ranged from (a0.81) to (a0.89) and the overall Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was (a0.85). A response rate of 93.1% was obtained and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential (simple correlation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient and regression) statistics. Findings revealed that a positive and significant relationship existed between patient records management practices (r.641, p0.05), disease surveillance and notification systems (r.732, p0.05) and epidemic control. Findings further revealed that patient records management practices and disease surveillance and notification systems had a joint influence on epidemic control (Adj. R2.600 F(2,282)124.071 p0.05). Results further indicated that the more potent predictor of epidemic control was disease surveillance and notification systems (ß.504 t8.551 p0.05) and the second potent predictor was patient records management practices (ß.237 t4.084 p0.05)....Preview Download Preview +Other Information Management Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»The impact of internet and the way it influence students reading culture»The effect of ICT on the Nigerian economic growth and development»Impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on the performance of nurses staff»Design and implementation of an online departmental opinion poll system»The problems and prospects of using information and communication technology for record keeping in tertiary institutions in Nigeria»Information behaviour and work effectiveness of physicians in selected government hospitals in Edo state, Nigeria»ICT skills, social media use and service delivery by librarians in federal universities in south-west, Nigeria»Information literacy competence and use of information resources by medical students in two universities in Lagos state, Nigeria»Influence of patient records management practices, disease surveillance and notification systems on epidemic control in Osun state, Nigeria»Information literacy skills, computer self-efficacy and e-resources use by postgraduate students in private university libraries in south-west, Nigeria
