The resulting information flow gaps between healthcare levels challenge the quality and continuity of MCH care. To close these data and care delivery gaps, a <jats:italic>harmonized<\/jats:italic> Reproductive Health Registry (<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR) was designed and piloted to bring data in a consistent\/digital\/readily accessible format and enhance the current health information system. Our study evaluated the perceptions on the newly developed <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR\u2019s improvement of the delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in 19 healthcare centers where the <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR was piloted.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We utilized a mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative assessments).

All SRH stakeholders agreed that the <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR is responding to a need for digitalization of routine MCH data, medical files, and reports. They all agreed that the synchronization with the currently used Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) and the <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR Web-based application will enhance the expansion and needed upgrades in the future. For service providers, 73% were satisfied with the system, 78.4% were willing to keep using it, and 81.1% indicated that the <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR is highly useful to health providers. For women\/service users, 89.2% agreed\/strongly agreed that the new system improves the confidentiality and privacy of their health information, and 89.7% agreed\/strongly agreed that the new system allows health staff to easily access patient information. There were also foreseeable challenges including fragmentation of electronic data management, lack of connectivity across health services, limited ownership, dependence on external funding as impeding factor for scalability, poor IT infrastructure still disrupting service in MCH centers and affecting data entry, and limited electronic connectivity\/reporting access impacting the continuity of care.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The new <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>RHR has a high acceptance level among stakeholders, health providers and women using MCH services. The evaluation showed that the system improved documentation of data, decreased time, and effort of data reporting and retrieval, and improved access to patient data.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978-025-01995-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,30]],"date-time":"2025-05-30T23:02:33Z","timestamp":1748646153000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Evaluation of a piloted digital reproductive health registry in Jordan to improve mother and child health"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5842-6739","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirwais","family":"Amiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Majd","family":"Al-Soukhni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manal","family":"Tahtamouni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohannad","family":"Al Nsour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"1995_CR1","unstructured":"WHO.
