Evaluation of the data quality of routine health information system in the public health facilities in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Abstract
The significant role of health information has over the years improved, and many countries adopted routine health information systems to effectively and efficiently manage data collection. The information system helps to improve the quality of health information and enables healthcare workers and authorities to take informed decisions and appropriately monitor and evaluate the implemented healthcare programs. However, the evidence shows that routinely collected health information is often underutilized due to poor quality, especially in Low- and Middle-income Countries.
