There are several benefits to information systems,
however, several problems maybe encountered in
each of the stages: collection, processing, analysis,
dissemination and application.
These problems are made worse by changes in the
health system as whole in terms of both structure
and staff turnover.
Careful planning in the design and implementation of
information systems is therefore essential for
overcoming theses common problems.
A good-quality information system can be
categorized by the functional areas they serve, the
extent of structure, the impose on work task, field of
application, purpose, span of information and the
processes type.
