The study focused on Community-Based Electronic Medical Records in South Maqueda Bay Interlocal Health Zone. The study utilized the descriptive research design aim to determine the implementation of community-based electronic medical records in terms of profiles of the respondents. Furthermore, the study also sought the problems encountered during implementation and the suggested strategies and intervention to sustain the system. With a grand weighted mean of 4.3 suggested strategies and interventions to sustain the implementation of CBEMR, the health workers suggest an additional procurement of enough and functional computers or laptops to each permanent staff (weighted mean 4.5). Other suggestions include training and updates of the system (weighted mean 4.5) which should be provided to sustain the program. Moreover, hiring of qualified staff (with weighted mean of 4 or “much needed”), upgrading of internet services and strict compliance of health workers to scheduled reporting. High healthcare costs like procurement of computers, hiring of human resources and difficulty of sharing data and information to other allied health professionals almost make the system non-existent in the identified health facilities. Absence of basic facilities, equipment and supplies, the performance of certain programs may be limited, constrained or compromised. Hence, management of health facilities reflects the operations of middle managers leadership at rural health facilities and support from the Local Government Unit. The presence of high level leadership is considered the single most important factor contributing to successful implementation. Together with the Municipal Health Officer and Local Chief Executive working hand in hand on formulating policies, budget for logistics and training for the staff are important for the functionality of the system.
