Further, it can leverage the investment in trained human resources for maximum benefit. A major and well recognized obstacle to the adoption of patient information systems, particularly in developing countries, is the lack of skilled health informatics professionals.
For this reason many regional offices had to assign staff to assist in coordinating the survey process with countries in their respective region.
