*Positions 1–6: best performing, 92–98: average performing and 207–213: poor performing gauged by **Weighted means of Staff system use and Patient identification ‘EMRs use’ indicators for the study period 2012–2019. Weighted mean were computed as follows: The two indicators assumed a weighting mean of 1, hence each was assigned a weight of 0.5 in order to have an unbiased mean. A summation of the weighted mean of the mean scores of the two indicators for each facility were then computed and finally ranked in descending order. The two indicators were chosen because they are the key variables that demonstrate EMRs utilization in the healthcare facilities [30]
