Abstract: The healthcare supply chain relies on real-time logistics Management Information System (LMIS). Despite Ethiopia's adoption of a digital LMIS in 2009, ongoing evaluation of software, infrastructure, and sustainability remains essential for improving performance from users' and health system's perspectives. The study aimed to evaluate the performance of the facility version of digital LMIS at public health facilities in the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was used. Out of 102 surveyed facilities, only 37 implemented the digital LMIS. Data was collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires. Out of 37 facilities using digital LMIS, 28 (75.7%) were functional. The average frequency of use across 27 sub-dashlets was 3.13 ± 0.67 out of 4. End users rated the digital LMIS performance as 3.21 ± 0.43 out of 5 (64.2%). Significant differences in LMIS performance related to organizational support were found due to varying end users' experience and internet access (P -value <.05). The digital LMIS performance from end users' perspective was 64.2%, with significant differences in agreement related to health system and organizational support, influenced by internet access and users' experience.
