To evaluate the application status of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System of Hydatid Disease, in which questions existed are summarized in order to promote the system update.

A questionnaire was designed and distributed to Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to evaluate the application status of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System of Hydatid Disease assistant with telephone.

The recovery rate of questionnaires was 87.5%. The statistics of closed questions showed that national application rate of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System of Hydatid Disease was 100%, of which 15.3% were low frequency users, 57.1% believed the system was necessary, 28.6% considered it was dispensable, and 14.3% believed that it was totally unnecessary. The statistics of open-ended questions indicated that 6 endemic regions suggested to increase the guidance and training, while 4 endemic regions had opinions on sharing the information of the national infectious disease reporting systems and hydatid disease prevention and control information system, and the opinions on turning monthly report to quarterly report, and increasing statistics and analysis module, and 3 endemic regions deemed that the system had logic errors and defects.

The problems of the system are mainly focused on the existence of systemic deficiencies and logic errors, lacking of statistical parameters and corresponding analysis function module, and lacking of the guidance and training, which limits the use of the system. Therefore, these problems should be resolved.
