Abstract-Hospital Information System (HIS) is important to healthcare sector especially in public hospitals as they need to serve the public with high-quality healthcare treatments. HIS helps to improve patients care services. Thus, the Malaysian Government has introduced three (3) categories of HIS namely Total Hospital Information System (THIS), Intermediate Hospital Information System (IHIS), and Basic Hospital Information System (BHIS) among Malaysian public hospitals. However, only 15.2% of the Malaysian public hospitals are implementing the system. Moreover, there is limited number of empirical studies on HIS implementation in Malaysia. Thus, this paper aims to investigate issues and challenges in HIS implementation for each category of HIS by using in-depth interviews. Nine participants were involved in the interviews. The interview data were transcribed verbatim and analysed based on Content and Thematic Analysis using NVivo software. The results showed that different category of HIS faced different issues and challenges.Index Terms-Basic hospital information system, hospital information system, intermediate hospital information system, total hospital information system.

“…This finding was unexpected. The importance of this issue is expressed in other studies [25,26]. An explanation for this might be that the HIS designers are not familiar with security standards in the healthcare domain.…”

Introduction: Data exchange across healthcare facilities is a major issue in healthcare information systems. Standards play an important role in the context of communication. In this paper, we surveyed the usage of standards in the hospital information systems (HISs) in the affiliated hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences.Material and Methods: This survey was performed in 2014-2015. A total of 17 hospitals with HISs were surveyed. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The design of the questionnaire was based on a literature review and consisted of three parts. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.Results: XML, HL7 and DICOM are commonly used international interchange standards. In the case of security standards, 76.5% of HISs do not support the HIPPA and CEN TC 251 security standards. ICD was the most commonly used terminology standard in the HISs. Several studies have indicated that HISs should cover data exchange, security and terminology standards to provide integration of heterogeneous systems.Conclusion: In the current study, the role of standards in the architecture of the HISs was inconspicuous. To make the HIS effective, it is necessary to consider the standards when developing the system. In this matter, legislation could help.

An effective, integrated telemedicine system has been developed that allows (a) teleconsultation between local primary health care providers (primary care physicians and general radiologists) and remote imaging subspecialists and (b) active patient participation related to his or her medical condition and patient education. The initial stage of system development was a traditional teleradiology consultation service between general radiologists and specialists; this established system was expanded to include primary care physicians and patients. The system was developed by using a well-defined process model, resulting in three integrated modules: a patient module, a primary health care provider module, and a specialist module. A middle agent layer enables tailoring and customization of the modules for each specific user type. Implementation by using Java and the Common Object Request Broker Architecture standard facilitates platform independence and interoperability. The system supports (a) teleconsultation between a local primary health care provider and an imaging subspecialist regardless of geographic location and (b) patient education and online scheduling. The developed system can potentially form a foundation for an enterprise-wide health care delivery system. In such a system, the role of radiologist specialists is enhanced from that of a diagnostician to the management of a patient's process of care.
