To fulfill the study's objectives, the researchers formulated three key research questions: What is the extent of electronic system usage in managing patient records at ABUTH, Zaria? What advantages does the implementation of electronic systems offer in the management of patient records at ABUTH, Zaria? What obstacles hinder the effective application of electronic systems in managing patient records at ABUTH, Zaria? A survey research methodology was employed, utilizing questionnaires to gather pertinent data from a sample of 36 staff members across various records departments at ABUTH. The data collected were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The findings indicated the necessity for the provision of internet resources and computers, adequate funding for the acquisition and maintenance of ICT tools, training and retraining of health records personnel in practical computer skills, consistent power supply, and the promotion of effective organizational design and maintenance culture to ensure operational efficiency.
