For many years, the government has identified the need to improve, streamline and computerise information systems in the public Jamaican health system, however this has not yet been achieved. Because information on dementia is aggregated with other mental health data, there is currently no direct, specific way in which to collect or analyse the performance of the public healthcare system for persons with dementia. It is also worth noting that there is no mandatory system currently in place to collect data on dementia from the private healthcare system. Efficient information systems are missing. Without a clear, regular, nuanced means of collecting relevant data on how the public and private healthcare systems are currently serving persons with dementia, there is no real way to identify what works or where the needs lie.
