Abstract

We surveyed 42 facilities to characterise technical and organisational barriers to health information exchange, finding infrastructure gaps and fragmented identifiers dominate.

Methodology

Mixed methods: structured surveys, record audits and key-informant interviews across representative sites.

Findings

Facilities with dedicated data officers were 3.2× more likely to submit complete monthly reports.
