Health Information Systems (HIS) as a Tool for Transformative Learning of Health Care Practitioners in Resource Constraint Environment Coleman Alfred Associate Professor and Chair of Department, School of Computing, University of South Africa Online published on 4 April, 2020. Abstract The increase in the quantity of medical research output do not translate into the improvement of patient care and treatment. This is because healthcare professional in resource constraint environment do not learn and implement these new research outcomes. These studies investigated how transformative learning could be incorporated as a tool on existing Health Information system (HIS) to assist healthcare professionals. The study employed a case study approach in collecting data. Data was collected using semi-structured openended interviews. It was revealed that structured learning programs or tools were necessary but not available to facilitate the implementation of learning new research outcomes despite the hospitals having some standalone HIS in place. Based on the findings the researcher proposed an Integrated Health Information System framework (IHISF) which was underpinned by transformative teaching and learning theory and tool. This is to assist physicians in remote hospitals to learn and implement newly published research findings in their practices. The IHISF did not only meant to assist doctors to learn but to help them share new ideas with their counterparts in other remote regions.
