摘要

Background

Evaluating HIS is an important process characterized by many steps. There are numerous frameworks, toolkits and models that can be used to enact an evaluation of HIS; these have been described and reviewed in previous literature. However, the tools, frameworks, and models that LMICs/developing countries actually cite for HIS evaluation have not been published. This systematic review aims to address this gap.

Objectives

To determine what frameworks, toolkits and models are cited by countries labelled as LMIC/developing in HIS evaluation, and to describe how these cited tools are used in such studies.

Study design

A systematic review was done to achieve the study’s objectives.

Methods

Search terms were generated for the databases PubMed and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library. Google Scholar was searched as a secondary database to expand the search results. Handsearching was also done by examining the citation lists of relevant retrieved studies. The search was done in March 2025.

Results

A total of 11 studies from systematic searching, and 18 studies from handsearching, were retrieved and included in the systematic review. Of these studies, 13 publications were the actual tools, 14 studies were studies citing these tools, and 2 studies were studies which opted to create a new tool.

Conclusion

There are numerous frameworks, toolkits and models that can be used for HIS evaluation. LMICs and developing countries may use these tools or opt to develop their own; these tools can themselves become the basis of future evaluation studies.
