We developed an electronic Health Information Management System (HIMS) for Public Health Midwives (PHMs) in Sri Lanka. We conducted a needs analysis amongst 16 PHMs, which found that they spent most of their time managing health records. The HIMS was designed so that it could accept data from the PHMs, and generate reports which could be used by the PHMs themselves as well as by their supervisors. The HIMS was trialled by a group of 16 PHMs in a remote area of the Ratnapura district of Sri Lanka. Mini-laptops with the software were distributed to the PHMs and they were given the necessary training. They started entering historical data from the registers into the system by themselves. Nearly 10,000 public health records were generated in the first three months. In a subsequent survey, the PHMs all gave positive answers indicating that they were happy with the pilot system, they would like to continue using it to enhance their service and they wanted to see it expanded across the whole of Ratnapura district. The system seems to be a practical solution for the field activities of PHMs in Sri Lanka.
我们为斯里兰卡的公共卫生助产士（PHM）开发了一个电子健康信息管理系统（HIMS）。我们对 16 名 PHM 进行了需求分析，发现他们大部分时间都在管理健康记录。HIMS 的设计目的是能够接受 PHM 的数据，并生成报告，这些报告既可以供 PHM 本身使用，也可以供他们的主管使用。HIMS 在斯里兰卡拉特纳普勒区的一个偏远地区由一组 16 名 PHM 进行了试用。为 PHM 分发了带有软件的迷你笔记本，并对他们进行了必要的培训。他们开始自行将登记簿中的历史数据输入系统。在头三个月中生成了近 10,000 份公共卫生记录。在随后的调查中，所有 PHM 都给出了肯定的回答，表明他们对试点系统感到满意，他们希望继续使用该系统来增强服务，并希望看到该系统在整个拉特纳普勒区推广。该系统似乎是解决斯里兰卡 PHM 实地活动的一种实用解决方案。
