“…A few studies reported thateffective e-health investment did not result in better quality and improved productivity but it freed up capacity and enabled greater access (Kaye, Kokia, Shalev, Idar, & Chinitz, 2010).From the perspective of the doctors, health IT (particularly EHR) was found to be time-consuming. The doctors were too busy to deal with it and they feared that it would depersonalize healthcare and would interfere with their rapport with their patient [5] .…”

It has been emphasised that a Health Management Information System (HMIS) will improve the ability to collect, store and analyse accurate health data, service delivery efficiency and effectiveness of intervention. Theobjective of the system is to record information on health events and check the quality of services at different levels of healthcare. The successful implementation of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and health programmes requires complex balancing of the competing views and concerns of the different stakeholders. Some clinicians will view new technology with suspicion, fearing its challenge to their professional autonomy and status. Patients will often seize on the potential benefits but will also hold legitimate concerns about the security and confidentiality of any electronically held patient data. IT specialists may seek to use cutting edge technology in the respective environments where existing tried and tested technology would be more than adequate to deliver real improvements in patient care.The adoption of the health management information system among Employees' State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) healthcare professionals and important issues related to system usage, including the implementation and current use of the HMIS at ESIC main hospital and dispensaries in Tirunelveli sub-region were examined by using a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).Information and data were collected from 171 ESIC healthcare professionals in three southern districts (Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari) in Tamil Nadu. An analysis provided enough evidence for the proposition that integration of ICT with the health care professional -patient relationship adequately addressed the service efficiency.

Background and aimSince hospital information systems (HISs) are among the most important information systems in the health sector, the present study aimed to shed light upon the situation of HISs in selected countries of the Persian Gulf region to reflect national strategies and activities in the case of HISs.MethodsIn this descriptive cross-sectional study, the information about HISs status of the selected countries of the Persian Gulf region were obtained through approaches including review of national and international resources. Then, according to aspects included in HIS status, content analysis was performed. Information obtained from content analysis after several stages of reading, was categorized and then findings, presented.ResultsThe findings revealed that the surveyed countries have widely used HISs since the 1980s. HIS use and development vary to a certain extent. Since the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, Ministry of Health officials of the studied countries have considered the importance of HIS’s integration and creating Electronic Health Record where, Oman, Bahrain and UAE are among the leading countries.ConclusionSince the emergence of HISs in healthcare centers, these countries have employed various approaches. In any case, in order to avoid wasting important resources, including financial and human ones, the use of successful experiences of other countries along with the formulation of a comprehensive plan is highly recommended while considering all HIS aspects, including national and international standards.

“…The system was isolated physically from the internet and it did not allow the use of removable storage such as USB memory and CDs within the Health Net. Medical Audit was found to be vital for the measurement of the quality of care given to the practice population (Elhadi, et al, 2007). Medical audit required standard setting, data collection, comparison with standards, review of data and standards.…”

Adoption of innovations by firms and workers is an important part of the process of technological change. Health Management Information System (HMIS) is an emerging technology that employs the internet and the typical health services infrastructure of hospitals. The adoption of a technology by users is vital if the organization wants to benefit from the technology advancements and synergies. Education is an important factor in predicting HMIS adoption by healthcare professionals in the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) main hospital and dispensaries. This study utilized two education levels (Under Graduation and Post Graduation in medical sciences) to moderate the research model that was proposed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Relying on data from the workplace and employee survey, this study assesses the causal effects of education on technology use and adoption by using instrumental variables for healthcare environment derived from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2). The models concluded to five major predictors of HMIS adoption among ESIC healthcare professionals: Training, Social influence or Subjective norm , self-efficacy (SE), Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU).
