  "abstract": "<p>The Federal Ministry of Health and Pharmaceutical Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA) in collaboration with<br>\ndevelopment partners have been implementing electronic Logistic Management Information System<br>\n(eLMIS) &ndash; Health Commodity Management Information System (HCMIS), Facility Edition (FE) in more<br>\nthan 800 public health hospitals and health centers. The system is designed to support inventory control,<br>\nand logistics management information system. The need for continuous improvement to fulfill evolving<br>\nneeds and the system&rsquo;s ability to match the growth in increased commodity through puts will continue to<br>\nbe a challenge. In addition, data contained within eLMIS HCMIS is occasionally unreliable, inconsistent,<br>\nor incomplete; and data are not used routinely enough for decisionmaking. Last but not least, the system is<br>\nnot linked in real-time to the HCMIS Warehouse (Warehouse Management System at PFSA), so real-time<br>\ndata visibility at the facility level is still a challenge due to internet access and reliability. The purpose of<br>\nthis study is to assess effectiveness of the e-LMIS implementation to optimize pharmaceutical management<br>\npractices and enhance efficiency at hospitals and health centers under Addis Ababa Regional Health<br>\nBureau. Data was collected from sample of 39 users out of 49 mature e-LMIS HCMIS implementing public<br>\nhealth facilities in Addis Ababa</p>",
