The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consisted of 80 Health Records Professionals in the study area. Complete enumeration was used in place of sample size for the study. Self-structured questionnaire, validated, was used for data collection in the study area as a research instrument. The questionnaire was structured to consist mostly of closed-ended type of questions. Frequency tables and simple percentages were used for data presentation. Based on the findings, it was discovered that there is a high level of computer literacy and formal training among healthcare professionals in using health information technology applications in the study area. However, the results also showed that a significant number of respondents face challenges when it comes to accessing patient data, exchanging patient information between healthcare providers, and addressing privacy and security concerns. Moreover, resistance from healthcare professionals remains a significant challenge to the implementation of health information technologies. Hence, the study recommends that there should be regular training and education programs for healthcare professionals to enhance their computer literacy and confidence in using health information technologies effectively. Also, healthcare providers should engage in collaborative decision-making with healthcare professionals, including physicians and nurses, to address resistance and increase support for HIT implementation. ...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»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»Causes and consequences of breach of confidentiality of patient health information in Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos state»The challenges of effective communication between health information officers and patients (case study of Federal Medical Centre, Nguru Yobe state)»Evaluation of the importance of health information management in primary health care
