User evaluations of IT in healthcare : a case study of perceived fit of a health management information system

Mobile systems are increasingly growing in developing countries and have been a key interest for organisations looking to make scalable solutions for the developing world-context. For the HIV/AIDS healthcare sector, this interest has seen great investment in healthcare systems augmented by mobile technologies. One such system is the EMIT-system created by Cell-Life, a Cape Town based organisation that creates solutions for managing HIV and TB. The EMIT system is a mobile and web-based system used for health management information collection that was implemented for a number of community organisations engaged in HIV related awareness activities around the country. This research study collected the system’s users’ opinions on how appropriate they felt the EMIT system was for their task needs.
