Abstract

Developing countries struggle with a range of healthcare data management challenges. The scope of the challenges is broad and it is difficult to determine on which components of healthcare data management to focus when endeavoring to improve healthcare data management systems in developing countries. This study develops, presents and evaluates a maturity model, the Healthcare Data Management Maturity Model (HDM <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> ), that healthcare entities can incorporate to assist them in determining the as-is state of their healthcare data management. This identifies the components to be focused on during improvement endeavors. The conceptual HDM <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> and its various components are presented in this study.
