Abstract

This study investigated the influence of laboratory and radiology electronic health records and healthcare service delivery in the Southern zone of Cross River State, Nigeria. Adopting a survey design using stratified proportionate random sampling technique, a One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses which revealed a significant main effect of laboratory and radiology health records on healthcare service delivery of *P<0.05     and    df=2:354. Findings based on the hypotheses revealed that the p-value of (.000) is < .05 level of significance; thereby rejecting the null hypotheses and accepting the alternate hypotheses. This further revealed that, laboratory; radiology electronic health records exert a significant influence on healthcare service delivery. Therefore, it was concluded that the low level of healthcare service delivery in the Southern zone of Cross River State could be associated with low utilization of laboratory and radiology electronic health records which have negative impact on healthcare service delivery.
