Introduction: Learning from public health emergencies has not always been possible due to suboptimal knowledge accrual from previous outbreaks. This study described the knowledge attributes of Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) that are currently used during health emergencies. It aims to inform the development of a "nuggets of knowledge" (NoK) platform to support agile decision-making and knowledge continuity following health emergencies.
Methods: A search was conducted on the Web of Science and Google Scholar, with no date restriction for articles that conveniently selected 13 HMIS and their knowledge attributes. Proportions were used to summarize HMIS distribution by countries' World Bank income status. Thematic content analysis was used to describe knowledge attributes of HMIS based on the knowledge attributes of Holsapple et al.
Results: Seven of the 13 HMIS contained tacit knowledge; the 7 HMIS were predominantly used in higher-income settings and developed after explicit knowledge containing HMIS. More HMISs that contained tacit knowledge were currently usable, universal, programmable, user-friendly, and relied on informal information sources than HMIS that contained explicit knowledge HMIS. Tacit and explicit knowledge containing HMIS were equally practical, accessible, and domain-oriented.
Conclusion: HMIS should continuously capture both tacit and explicit knowledge that is actionable and practical in HMIS, user-friendly, programmable, and accessible to persons in all geographical settings. HMIS that contain tacit knowledge have more favorable attributes than those that contain explicit knowledge, but they may not be available to all emergency responders globally, a distribution that may change as newer low-cost technologies become available. Future research should investigate the impact of the NoK platform on public health emergency management.
