Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions (e.g. e-health, telemedicine, e-education) are often viewed as vehicles to bridge the digital divide between rural and urban healthcare centres and to resolve shortcomings in the rural health sector. This study focused on factors perceived to influence the uptake and use of ICTs as e-health solutions in selected rural Eastern Cape healthcare centres, and on structural variables relating to these facilities and processes. Attention was also given to two psychological variables that may underlie an individual&s acceptance and use of ICTs: usefulness and ease of use. Recommendations are made with regard to how ICTs can be used more effectively to improve health systems at fi ve rural healthcare centres where questionnaire and interview data were collected: St. Lucy&s Hospital, Nessie Knight Hospital, the Tsilitwa Clinic, the Madzikane Ka-Zulu Memorial Hospital and the Nelson Mandela General Hospital.

Background: Clinical coding is important for reimbursement, resource planning, administration and medical research. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical coding accuracy and its influencing factors, especially the benefits of physician–clinical coder collaboration. Method: Twenty-four physicians and one senior clinical coder participated in the quality audit. The audit checklist, assessment criteria, training program and physician–clinical coder collaboration mechanism were clearly defined. The homepage filling standards, homepage filling guidelines and the guidelines of the International Classification of Diseases were used as the assessment criteria for evaluating accuracy. Results: A total of 323,320 medical records were reviewed. The average accuracy of homepage completion was 60.4% and poor-quality homepages accounted for 89.9% of coding errors. The average coding accuracy and correction percentage were 83.4% and 62.3%, respectively. After physician–clinical coder collaboration, the coding accuracy increased from 78.9% to 87.1% (χ² = 799.904, p &lt; 0.001) and correction percentage increased from 52.0% to 73.0% (χ² = 1628.015, p &lt; 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that complexity of medical records (odds ratio (OR) = 0.625), quality of homepages (OR = 20.445), month of physician–clinical coder collaboration (OR = 1.133–2.297), coder’s major (OR = 1.616), coding experience (OR = 1.953), work engagement (OR = 1.290) and day of the week (OR = 1.054) were factors influencing coding accuracy. Conclusion: Physician–clinical coder collaboration effectively improved clinical coding accuracy and clinical coders benefited greatly. However, homepage quality was not improved. Furthermore, homepage quality and psychological factors influenced coding accuracy. Implications: Managers should implement regular standardised training for homepage completion, alongside ongoing improvements in coding practices and training.

Background: Work-integrated learning (WIL) is integral to most health disciplines’ profession-qualifying degree programs. Objectives: To analyse the categories, locales and foci of final-year (capstone), health information management professional practice (WIL) placements, 2012–2021, at La Trobe University, Australia. Method: A documentary analysis of 614 placement agency proposals, 2012–2021, interrogated multiple characteristics: agency type, placement (sub-) category (WIL model), project type, agency-required student capabilities, intended learning outcomes. Results: Public hospitals offered 50% of all placements. Medical research/health or disease screening/clinical registries offered 17.8%, incorporating 86.7% of “research-based” placements. Government department offerings were consistently stable; private hospital, primary care and community healthcare offerings declined. The majority (64.8%) of offerings were “project-based,” followed by “internship” (28.7%: Health Information Service (14%) and “other” (14.7%)), research-based (4.9%) and other (1.6%). Ninety-nine (16.1%) proposals specified additional, pre-placement skills and capabilities: technical (information technologies, software applications; 58.6% of 99 proposals); working independently (49.5%); communications (written, verbal; 45.5%); targeted interest (38.4%) in “informatics and data quality,” “quality and safety,” “software development,” “coding”; organisational and/or time management skills (29.9%); teamwork skills (20.2%); data analysis skills (18.2%); enthusiasm and/or self-motivation (15.2%). Conclusion: The project-based model for the capstone placement is ideal for preparing health information management students for complex, graduate professional work. Agencies’ pre-placement expectations of students (knowledge, technical skills, soft skills) are consistent with findings from the WIL literature and align with course curricula and Australia’s Health Information Manager (HIM) Profession-entry Competency Standards. Implications: The findings will strengthen the health information management profession’s knowledge base of WIL and inform educators, students and agency supervisors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical role of mobile health applications in the management of health crises. Despite the promising outcomes of these technologies, however, their acceptance and use among physicians in the developing world such as Saudi Arabia are notably low.
