The fragmented health information system currently operated in Ghana besets universal access to health data and service delivery resulting in the government’s efforts to integrate a coordinated healthcare information system. This study investigates the factors affecting the implementation of integrated national health information systems (IHIS) in Ghana, highlighting the role of digital curiosity among health workers. Analyzing data from 446 Ghana Health Service affiliates using structural equation modeling, key factors identified include task characteristics, organizational viability, and state policy. While economic viability and IT infrastructure were less influential, they may improve with greater government involvement. Digital curiosity significantly mediates the relationship between technological factors and IHIS implementation, suggesting the need to cultivate curiosity among health workers for better health outcomes.

摘要

The fragmented health information system currently operated in Ghana besets universal access to health data and service delivery resulting in the government’s efforts to integrate a coordinated healthcare information system. This study investigates the factors affecting the implementation of integrated national health information systems (IHIS) in Ghana, highlighting the role of digital curiosity among health workers. Analyzing data from 446 Ghana Health Service affiliates using structural equation modeling, key factors identified include task characteristics, organizational viability, and state policy. While economic viability and IT infrastructure were less influential, they may improve with greater government involvement. Digital curiosity significantly mediates the relationship between technological factors and IHIS implementation, suggesting the need to cultivate curiosity among health workers for better health outcomes.
