The HIS is recognised as an essential tool for optimising the management
of a health establishment in particular and the health system in general. But
it is still very little implemented in hospitals in the South. Open source HIS
software, available on the Internet, can be a solution for starting a (HIS)
project in these hospitals. A search on the Internet for open source HIS
software allowed us to choose MedBoard, the second most popular open source
software out of 381, to start an HIS project called PERFORMANCE at the Kara
University Hospital in northern Togo. A questionnaire allowed us to assess the
level of knowledge of health actors on hospital information systems. The
results of this evaluation allowed us to strengthen our proposal. The analysis
of the current computer park of the CHU Kara does not allow whatever the
functionalities of MedBoard to implement PERFORMANCE at the CHU Kara. Logistics
are needed to make PERFORMANCE work. The real difficulty to start and perpetuate
HIS project is linked to the human factor.
