Health information system development in Sri Lanka has generally been a low priority. Weaknesses exist in many areas, including vital registration, and hospital information such as inpatient and outpatient morbidity and mortality data. Lapses in hospital information systems are mainly due to incomplete patient medical records; non-availability, inaccuracy and illegibility of the final diagnoses on the front sheets; shortage of trained statistical staff; lack of supervision at all levels; and lack of facilities at medical record departments. WHO's South-East Asian Regional Organization, in collaboration with the Australian National Centre in Classification in Health, has developed a group of trainers who conduct MR/HIM and ICD-10 training courses within the country.
斯里兰卡卫生信息系统的发展总体上一直未被置于优先地位。许多领域存在薄弱环节，包括人口动态登记以及医院信息，如住院和门诊发病率及死亡率数据。医院信息系统存在缺陷主要是因为患者病历不完整；首页上最终诊断信息不可获取、不准确且难以辨认；缺乏训练有素的统计人员；各级缺乏监督；以及病历部门设施不足。世界卫生组织东南亚区域组织与澳大利亚国家卫生分类中心合作，培养了一批培训人员，他们在该国开展病历/卫生信息管理和国际疾病分类第十版培训课程。
