Abstract
The Health Management Information System (HMIS) is an essential core component in framing the national health system. To operate six core components synchronically and to manage them successfully inside the health system, HMIS and communication are also placed centrally. However, the unworthy problems of HMIS data have been significantly affected by several characteristics. Among these characteristics, the organizational factors need to be considered as important issues. This systematic review aims to examine what organizational factors are determining the HMIS data quality in LMICs after 2005. Two independent reviewers selected 38 eligible primary published papers from 22 LMICs through three popular online sources: MEDLINE and PubMed, HINARI, and Google and Google Scholar. This finding mainly highlighted that weak organizational structuring and processing, less organizational learning development regarding HMIS, unavailability of HMIS resources, poor governance, and political issues impacted the HMIS data quality in LMICs.

The finding of this systematic review mainly highlighted that weak organizational structuring and processing, less organizational learning development regarding HMIS, unavailability of HMIS resources, poor governance and political issues impacted the HMIS data quality in LMICs
This evidence will guide national health authorities and the HMIS officers from LMICs on how to manage their limited resources effectively by prioritizing the necessary points pinpointed by this review
Summary
The health system is framed with six core components such as provision of healthcare services, health manpower, health management information systems (HMIS), equitable access to treatment with essential medicines, financial saving, and leadership and governance[1]. To operate these components synchronically and to manage them successfully inside the health system, HMIS and communication are placed centrally[2]. The HMIS data are vital to analyze what health problems are present, to indicate what actions are needed, and to support superior and central decision-makers for their sound effective decisions for the improvement of the health system[5, 6]
