The study used a descriptive survey research design and involved a population of 63 Health Records professionals, with complete enumeration used in place of sample size. Data was collected through self-structured questionnaires that consisted mostly of closed-ended type questions, and data was presented using frequency tables and simple percentages. The findings revealed that all respondents had prior knowledge of E-Health Information Management practice, with a significant portion having a very high or high level of knowledge. Additionally, almost all respondents had a good understanding of Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). The research also found that electronic medical record (EMR) implementation, confidentiality and security of patient records, data quality and data analysis skills, and cloud computing are all emerging trends in e-health information management, with the vast majority of respondents agreeing with these statements. However, the research also identified several challenges militating against the successful implementation of E-Health Information Management Practice, including high costs of implementing and maintaining E-Health systems, limited computer skills among healthcare providers, poor electricity supply and lack of constant internet connectivity, and inadequate relevant technical staff. Based on the findings, the study recommends increased investment in technical infrastructure, ongoing training of healthcare providers, and collaboration with private sector stakeholders to enhance E-Health implementation and uptake in the study area. ...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»Evaluation of confidentiality of patient health records among hospital staff»Factors militating against effective documentation in health care delivery system in University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Edo state»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta state»Impact of health statistics in the health care delivery system at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»The challenges of effective communication between health information officers and patients (case study of Federal Medical Centre, Nguru Yobe state)»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care
