Using a descriptive research approach, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 54 randomly selected HIM staff. The objectives were to examine ICT and social media utilization rates, uses, benefits, and ultimately impacts on HIM performance. Key findings revealed high adoption rates (approximately 85%) demonstrating ICT's integral role. However, flaws around costs, cybersecurity, and the human factor presented notable challenges to optimal utilization. Regarding impacts, approximately 95% reported enhanced productivity and information access/sharing indicating ICT's advantages in supporting HIM processes. To statistically analyze technology's effects, chi-square hypothesis testing was employed. The first hypothesis on the relationship between ICT adoption and HIM yielded a calculated value of 6.8, surpassing the critical value of 3.84 at a 0.05 significance level. The second hypothesis exhibited a calculated value of 342.3 against a critical value of 7.815, while the third yielded 10.73 versus 3.841. With all calculated values exceeding critical values, the alternative hypotheses were accepted, confirming statistically significant associations between ICT/social media utilization and improved HIM professional performance. While limited to one facility, key conclusions provide practical insights and underscore technology's increasing, albeit complex, role in advancing healthcare information and data management. Further studies can build on these findings by expanding the research across Nigeria's healthcare system....Preview Download Preview +Other Health Information Management project topics and materials you might be interested in»Analysis of filing system and consequences of misfiling»Evaluation of the problems and constraints facing health record keeping and professionals»Impact of health information management in healthcare delivery»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»Effect of lack of health information computerization in the primary health care system»Evaluation of patient appointment system - a case study of university of Ilorin teaching hospital»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»Impact of electronic medical records on patients waiting time in health care delivery system in Federal Medical Center, Asaba, Delta 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
