Background.
Assistive technology (AT) is a way to enhance the performance of daily activities in people with disabilities and help them live more independently.
However, an important problem in providing AT lies in the effectiveness of information management.
Local policymakers and health service providers have become aware of this problem and their perspectives are the key to solving it.
Methods.
This study explored the types of AT provided for people with disabilities in the community and the perspectives on information management of local policymakers and health service providers.
A survey checklist and semistructured in-depth interview were the instruments of this study.
The key informants in this study included administrators, nurses, and physical therapists from four community areas in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Results.
The medical records showed that the types of AT provided were mostly second-hand (57.24%) and borrowed devices (57.73%).
All of them were low-tech devices (crutch, cane, walker, wheelchair, and adaptive tricycle).
In addition, the results indicated three perspective aspects related to information management: (1) problems in the database recording system, (2) different policies and processes of information management, and (3) improvement of the AT provision system.
Conclusion.
The perspectives of local policymakers and health service providers indicated related problems, impacts of policies, and ways to improve the AT provision system by applying information technology.
