flexibility, customization of data elements, data entry forms, validation rules, indicators, and
reports to create a fully-fledged system for data management.However, evidence shows that data
quality is poor and is not used especially at lower levels of health care for program decisions in
Ethiopia, and it remains a major challenge and its implementation status has not been evaluated
yet.
Evaluation objective:To evaluate the process of theDistrict Health Information System
Methods: A single case study evaluation design with a mixed method was employed from Febru
ary 01 to 29/2020 to assess availability, compliance and data quality of DHIS2. A selfadministered
questionnaire was used to interview all health care providers who work more than s
ix months
Results: The overall level of the implementation process of the DHIS2 was 64.7%, to which
availability of resources, healthcare providers’ compliance with the national guideline, and data
quality contributed was 60.33, 55.75, and 78.0%, respectively. The overall health information
utilization is 67.7 % with 95 % CI (
Conclusion and recommendation: The process of DHIS2 was not successfully
implemented,although the data quality was fairly implemented.Activities like feedback, action
plan, and data verification were not practiced well.For health care providers better to discuss the
monthly performance regularly and the health facilities need to have emphasis on accountability
for poor performance and work on increasing the perception of health care providers on DHIS2
usefulness.
