However, implementation faces challenges like inadequate funding, poor communication, and incomplete reporting. This study examined the availability, utilization and effectiveness of disease surveillance and notification services in Nigeria. Specific objectives included assessing training impacts, examining implementation challenges, and finding ways to improve services at Alex Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital. A descriptive survey design was used. The 5,000 hospital staff were sampled using Yamane''s formula to reach 98 healthcare workers. A pretested questionnaire measured perspectives. Descriptive statistics analyzed data. Findings show disease surveillance and notification systems are available and effectively utilized at the hospital for early disease outbreak detection. However, inadequate funding, poor coordination, and insufficient worker training on these systems are key challenges. Provision of adequate training is a major way to improve services. Recommendations include government-ensured training on disease surveillance and notification for healthcare workers. In summary, while disease surveillance and notification systems are available and utilized at Alex Ekwueme Federal Teaching Hospital, there are funding, coordination, and training challenges affecting implementation. Adequate worker training is critical for improving disease surveillance and notification effectiveness....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
