An assessment of the quality of the information system was conducted in the 14 hospitals of Burkina Faso in 2017 using the HMN tool (Health Metrics Network). This evaluation was part of the process of developing a master plan for implementing a HIS for the hospitals in the country, and was aimed at analyzing the sub-components of the existing information system. The results are presented as scores, one per component, evaluated in % and converted into quartiles, ranging from the 1st quartile "Not adequate at all" to the 4th quartile "Highly adequate". The scores are as follows: Resources = Q1 (29%); indicator = Q2 (46%); data sources = Q1 (28%); information production = Q1 (21%); data management = Q2 (47%); dissemination and use = Q3 (55%). In conclusion, overall the system is not adequate (mean score 39%), particularly at the level of information production (score 21%).
