Abstract:
The aim of this paper was to find the relationship between health information systems, its attributes and decision making. A survey approach was used by distributing questionnaires. The total population of this study was all focal persons and in charge of the health facility. 73 completed questionnaires were used in the analysis. Bivariate correlation, regression, and t-test were used for data analysis and testing hypotheses. It is found that all the research variables i.e. data collection and recording, data analysis, report generation, and decision making were positively and significantly related, and attributes of health information systems have a positive effect on decision making. Moreover, there was a difference in mean scores of trained and untrained staff, and the focal person score higher than the facility in charge, while there was no difference was found in mean scores of computer literate and illiterate staff.
