Staff at AIDInc have played a key role in the rolling out of the national sexual health information programme (SHIP) in Barbados. Training of staff across various health centres in the use of SHIP was one of the primary activities following system implementation. Strategies included demonstrating the importance of HIS for generating reports which are fed into service planning and highlighting how the monitoring of services at all levels could have a direct impact on service provision at the level of the client as well as at the provider level in terms of staffing complements, resources, etc. Out of this project emerged the key finding that change management and organizational behaviour strategies need to be consistently incorporated into all Information systems implementation during the first year of roll-out, if user buy-in and utilisation of the system is to be sustained and effective in long-term decision making.
