Summary
This section articulates the justification of the problem under study by looking at the background information, the statement of the problem, objectives of the study and research questions. Records management activities include the creation, receipt, maintenance, use and disposal of records. In this context, a record is content that documents a business transaction [2]. Government institutions like Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital produces, collects, disseminates and utilizes a large volume of records (health records) and information than any other organizations.
