Abstract
Much of the power and potential of mobile devices lies in their ability to hold a virtual library of information resources, both pre-loaded and interactive. One of the factors contributing to the success of Uganda Health Information Network (UHIN) is its ability to deliver current, reliable, and relevant content to health workers in addition to providing data gathering/reporting tools. This one-page poster provides highlights of the UHIN project. 97% of users reported that access to relevant health information improved provision of patient care; 87% reported faster and more accurate diagnosis; and close to 100% appreciated the cognitive value of information received through the network.
