ABSTRACT
Introduction:
an effective health information system (HIS) ensures the production, analysis, dissemination and use of reliable and up-to-date information on the determinants of health. However, it can encounter obstacles that hinder its functioning, such as armed conflicts, which limit access and quality of healthcare services. The purpose of our study was to help improve data management for routine health information system in the health district of Timbuktu during a security crisis.Methods:
we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study, among health information management professionals in the Timbuktu Health District from 15 April to 08 September 2023. Data obtained from a survey questionnaire were analyzed using Epi Info version 7.2.2. and processed using Microsoft Word and Excel 2016.Results:
a total of 6 health facilities were surveyed. Data collection, analysis and feedback were very poor. Data quality was 100% complete, 92.40% prompt and 68.11% accurate. The major constraints were low involvement of health workers in the SIS (22.22%), insufficient training on the SISR (29.63%), supervision (47.06%), internet inaccessibility (66.67%), feeling of insecurity (37.04%) and fear (61.76%) in health facilities.Conclusion:
our results show low-level processes, poor network coverage, shortage of qualified health information management professionals and increasing insecurity. A broader mixed-methods research would provide a better understanding.Key words
