EVALUATION OF INTEGRATED HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS (iHIS): A GENERAL APPROACH WITH APPLICABILITY FOR THE CARIBBEAN REGION

The countries within the Caribbean region are pursuing the development of national
integrated health information systems (iHIS). The model of the Belize Health Information
System (BHIS) is referenced as the implementation guide. There are no established
standards to facilitate independent evaluation of these types of systems. This study
utilizes existing knowledge to determine the common approaches for evaluating health
information systems (HIS) and applies these findings to formulate an evaluation approach
for these regional systems. This approach is intended to strengthen the regional capacity
for evaluating national iHISs by examining the contextual factors and providing an
evaluation tool, CHEATS+, for systems lifecycle evaluation.
