Abstract:
This paper describes how a Health Management Information System (HMIS) can not only make health care delivery more effective, but also for organizational development and reports on the experiences of the HMIS programme of the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB) in Uganda. The programme forms part of a larger programme on ICTs for health in Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia and is supported jointly by the International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) and the Catholic Organization for Relief and Development Aid (Cordaid). The goal of the paper is to evaluate the project against a background of organizational development and to draw practical lessons from the project that may provide guidance to new HMIS projects in the development context.
