    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;The Federal Ministry of Health and Pharmaceutical Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA) in collaboration with&lt;br&gt;
development partners have been implementing electronic Logistic Management Information System&lt;br&gt;
(eLMIS) &amp;ndash; Health Commodity Management Information System (HCMIS), Facility Edition (FE) in more&lt;br&gt;
than 800 public health hospitals and health centers. The system is designed to support inventory control,&lt;br&gt;
and logistics management information system. The need for continuous improvement to fulfill evolving&lt;br&gt;
needs and the system&amp;rsquo;s ability to match the growth in increased commodity through puts will continue to&lt;br&gt;
be a challenge. In addition, data contained within eLMIS HCMIS is occasionally unreliable, inconsistent,&lt;br&gt;
or incomplete; and data are not used routinely enough for decisionmaking. Last but not least, the system is&lt;br&gt;
not linked in real-time to the HCMIS Warehouse (Warehouse Management System at PFSA), so real-time&lt;br&gt;
data visibility at the facility level is still a challenge due to internet access and reliability. The purpose of&lt;br&gt;
this study is to assess effectiveness of the e-LMIS implementation to optimize pharmaceutical management&lt;br&gt;
practices and enhance efficiency at hospitals and health centers under Addis Ababa Regional Health&lt;br&gt;
Bureau. Data was collected from sample of 39 users out of 49 mature e-LMIS HCMIS implementing public&lt;br&gt;
health facilities in Addis Ababa&lt;/p&gt;</description>
