“…In this study, we observed that system acceptance leads to use (6). Additionally, Mostafa et al study on users' views and attitudes towards the key elements of successful implementation of hospital information system revealed system functionality as the most important critical success factor (3). Conversely, systems with missing features and poor performance are a use barrier (38).…”

“…Adoption of Electronic Medical Records systems (EMRs) has been on the rise in both developed and developing countries (1,2). By nature, healthcare organizations are complex and introduction of EMRs can bring further complications, which can lead to rejection of the system or failure of the implementation regardless of the setting (3). As an example, users are likely to embrace systems that do not interfere with their work ow (4).…”

Background Electronic Medical Records systems (EMRs) adoption in healthcare to facilitate work processes have become common in many countries. Although EMRs are associated with quality patient care, patient safety and cost reduction, their adoption rates are comparatively low. Understanding factors associated with usage of implemented EMRs are critical for advancing successful implementations and scale-up sustainable initiatives. The aim of this study was to explore end users’ perceptions and experiences on factors facilitating and hindering EMRs use in healthcare facilities in Kenya. Methods Focus group discussions were conducted with EMRs users (n=20) each representing a healthcare facility determined by the performance of the EMRs implementation. Content analysis was performed on the transcribed data and relevant themes derived.Results Six thematic categories for both facilitators and barriers emerged, and these related to: (1) system functionalities; (2) training; (3) technical support; (4) human factors; (5) infrastructure, and (6) EMR operation mode. The identified facilitators included: easiness of use and learning of the system, efficiency of EMRs in patient data management, responsiveness of Information Technical (IT) support, user training on EMR system upgrades. The identified barriers included: frequent power blackouts, inadequate computers, retrospective data entry (RDE) EMRs operation mode, lack of continuous training on system upgrades, and delayed IT support. Conclusion Users in an LMIC setting generally believed that the EMRs improved work process, with multiple identified facilitators and barriers to their use. Most users perceived system functionality and training as motivators to EMRs use, while infrastructure challenge was the greatest barrier.

Background: Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) has an important role in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of hospital services. However, the implementation of information systems is complex and requires a large investment. To prevent failure, it is important to know the success factors in the implementation of HMIS. This study aimed to review systematically the factors affecting the success of hospital management information system. Subjects and Method: This was systematic review following PRISMA model. The review was conducted by searching published articles in English and Indonesian from 2014 to 2019 from electronic databases including EBSCOhost, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The keywords were hospital management information system, hospital information system, implementation, and success factor. After review process, 8 articles were included in this review. Results: Three articles stated that human and technology were influential factors in the implementation of HMIS. An article stated financial and an article stated functional as influential factor in the implementation of HMIS. Other influential factors included organizational and environmental factors. Conclusion: Human and technological are significant factors that influence the success of HMIS.

Purpose Hospital information system (HIS) can be examined as a vital factor for developing the quality of health care and cost managing. There exists abundant literature on HISs, but implementation-based literature of HIS is rare, typically about progressive countries. However, a study that can comprehensively review published articles is scarce. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the systematic and comprehensive study of HIS in developed countries. Together, the benefits and harms relevant to HIS’s different mechanisms have been considered, and the fundamental challenges of them are addressed to design more efficient HIS in the future. Design/methodology/approach HIS has been used globally for numerous years and is now being used in a wide area. HIS is broadly used in clinical settings. Information technology (IT) and information system have been suggested as a required piece to solve the health-care-related issues. Hence, to improve HIS’s ability, this paper conducted a review method concentratating on research related to HIS until 2019. A total of 21 papers were recognized and examined as principal research for the summary. Findings The authors found that HIS can help in reduction of medical mistakes, enhancement doctors’ performance and increase in the quality of the care provided. HIS management can be used to provide better health-care services. Therefore, HIS must be sensible and use clear structures. The authors conclude that, generally, with an increase in awareness, acceptability and the need for HIS worldwide, there will be more strategies and approaches available. Research limitations/implications First, this paper provides an outline of the status of HIS. Second, it identifies some distinct research gaps that could be worth studying. Some flawless work may be removed because of applying some filters to select the original articles. Surveying all the papers on the topic of HIS is impossible, too. Practical implications Design and sustainability of HIS is still a big issue for most developing countries, despite its wide usage in the developed countries. The technology is changing rapidly, so the field should be reviewed regularly. This paper suggests a suitable framework that will guide HIS in the local conditions of developing countries. Social implications The government will be assisted by the suggested solving ways in its performance and design of electronic health-care projects. Originality/value The study brings the viewpoints on the state of HIS mechanisms in developing countries. The paper’s results can offer visions into future research requirements. By providing comparative information and analyzing the current growths in this area, this study will support researchers and professionals to understand the progress in HIS mechanisms better.
