Transforming Healthcare Delivery through Innovative Inventory Control Technology Strategy: Lessons from Bushenyi District, Uganda

Transforming healthcare service delivery through technology-enhanced inventory control has emerged as a crucial strategy for improving efficiency in resource-limited environments. This study explored the impact of technology integration into inventory control management systems within healthcare facilities in Bushenyi District, Uganda. Grounded in Task-Technology Fit (TTF) Theory, the research utilized a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The target population comprised 192 permanent healthcare workers, from which 130 respondents were selected using the Yamane formula. The study collected primary data through a structured self-administered questionnaire, subsequently analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 25. A pilot test involving 13 respondents ensured the validity and reliability of the instrument. Both descriptive and inferential statistics facilitated data analysis. Findings revealed a positive significant relationship between technological integration and service delivery (t=2.226, P=0.028<0.05). The study concludes that integrating technology significantly enhances service delivery in healthcare facilities. Recommendations urge healthcare facilities to prioritize technology integration within their service delivery processes to boost operational efficiency and improve patient outcomes. Policymakers can utilize these findings to implement initiatives that promote and invest in technological integration within healthcare systems, ultimately improving service delivery and enhancing patient care and operational efficiency.
