“…However, in the systems investigated by Rogers et al [ 17 ], functions such as saving frequent actions or using shortcuts were not often readily available. Research points out controllability as a key feature of a well-designed information system [ 24 ]. The capability of moving between screens, stopping running procedures when needed, and returning to the main menu from any screen could help to improve the controllability of systems.…”

ObjectivesAs the largest group providing healthcare services, nurses require well-designed information systems in their practice. This study aims to evaluate the usability of nursing information systems (NIS).MethodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2015. The settings of the study consisted of four hospitals affiliated with three medical universities in Tehran (Iran). The subjects of the study included nurses who had access to and used a NIS developed by four major software companies. The data were collected using a modified version of a usability questionnaire known as IsoMetrics, based on the International Standard ISO 9241, Part 11. The questionnaire is composed of 35 questions divided into seven general criteria. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by experts in the field, and the reliability was checked using Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.91). The questionnaire was then distributed to 184 nurses.ResultsThe response rate was 64.6%. Among the seven ISO usability criteria, suitability for the task (3.10 ± 1.24) and suitability for learning (3.10 ± 1.27) had the highest mean value. The lowest mean value (2.37 ± 1.29) was related to the suitability for individualization.ConclusionsAddressing issues related to individualization and self-descriptiveness could improve the usability of nursing systems. Considering usability requirements in the design of a NIS will lead to the efficient and effective use of these systems.

“…According to Jayawardena [1], a computer-based electronic information system for the epidemiology unit in Sri Lanka was introduced with the collaboration of WHO in the year 2005 at Ampara and Hambanthota base hospitals. It was used to have paperless work and reduce cost and improve the accuracy of HIS.…”

“…It also showed the same factors as the ones in HIS studies. The efficiency of self, support, training, and personal innovativeness was recognized as one crucial factor in adopting mobile systems by medical practitioners [1,4,5]. Additionally, age and the type of hospital were also found to be influencing mediating aspects.…”

Information technology plays a major role in developed sectors within society. Providing better and more accurate information to the health information system integration aims to improve the planning and management of health care. Healthcare is the most serious aspect of our society. This research is trying to introduce an adaptive framework with user-friendly interfaces for clinical patient management to homecare and smart clinical services in government hospitals in Sri Lanka. The use of Information systems with adaptive frameworks is most popular in current society in other countries but not in Sri Lanka. Scheduling clinic timetables for the patients, providing health tips, exercise tips to the patients, and conducting remote medical camps are based on the history of medical records, drug prescriptions, and background of the patient’s health. This paper gives detailed information on the concept of adaptive healthcare and its components. This will be an innovative initiative to support clinical data in all public hospitals. Keeping this new technique of e-health, a framework for the implementation of an adaptive framework is also proposed based on the basic principles of adaptive healthcare.

Hospital Management System (HMS) is a computerizing scheme used to simplify several efforts of the working in a hospital. The system deals with all the requirements of different hospitals to offer efficient services to patients. In addition, it stores the patients’ information for long term for historical records. In this paper, we design and implement a web based HMS for group of hospitals in Iraq. The system provides an efficient link between the hospital’s departments including the laboratories, radiology, pharmacy and the consultants. The proposed system gives simple access to basic data, thus enabling the management to take better decisions on time. The website is designed using PHP, HTML and CSS environments, while the database is built utilizing MySQL version 5.7.11. As a case study, two hospitals (Margan in Babylon and Ibn-Alnafees in Baghdad) have been considered. The results show that the proposed system has achieved high performance and accuracy in terms of provided health services, data management and time consuming.
