This study examined the challenges faced by Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH) Amaku in managing health records libraries and ensuring quality health information. The background highlighted the importance of accurate records, data security, and proper organization for informed decision-making and continuity of care. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design, with a sample of 121 respondents selected using Yaro Yamane’s formula from a population of 173 health records staff across both institutions. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using simple percentages and chi-square tests. The research tested the hypothesis that there are no significant challenges in health records management and information practices at NAUTH and COOUTH. Results indicated overwhelming agreement among respondents on the essentiality of health records management (93%), the potential of electronic records (85%), and the importance of data privacy (80%). However, key challenges identified included limited physical storage space, inefficient retrieval processes, data inaccuracies, lack of interoperability, and training deficiencies. The chi-square test (2 37.7228) led to the rejection of the null hypothesis, confirming significant challenges exist. The study concluded by recommending the adoption of electronic health records, robust security measures, regular audits, staff training, and exploration of technological advancements to improve health records library management and quality health information practices at NAUTH and COOUTH....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Assessment of challenges of health information management practice in General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara State»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling patients health records in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»A study into causes of misfiling among health information management professionals in health records department - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara state»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care»Knowledge and perception of health information management professionals on electronic coding for quality clinical data in University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state
