Background: Hospital Information System (HIS) is implemented to provide high-quality patient care. The aim of this study is to identify significant dimensional factors that influence the hospital decision in adopting the HIS. Methods: This study designs the initial integrated model by taking the three main dimensions in adopting HIS technology. Accordingly, DEMATEL was utilized to test the strength of interdependencies among the dimensions and variables. Then ANP approach is adapted to determining how the factors are weighted and prioritized by professionals and main users working in the Iranian public hospitals, involved with the HIS system. Results: The results indicated that "Perceived Technical Competence" is a key factor in the Human dimension. The respondents also believed that "Relative Advantage," "Compatibility" and "Security Concern" of Technology dimension should be further assessed in relation to other factors. With respect to Organization dimension, "Top Management Support" and "Vendor Support" are considered more important than others. Conclusion: Applying the TOE and HOT-fit models as the pillar of our developed model with significant findings add to the growing literature on the factors associated with the adoption of HIS and also shed some light for managers of public hospitals in Iran to successfully adopt the HIS.

Abstract. To give proper medical treatment, it is important to have access to updated health information on patients. In emergency situations where the treatment is not planned in advance, vital information will seldom be readily available. Smart cards can improve this, but one has to make sure that patient privacy is not sacrificed to improve availability. This paper discusses possible security solutions for an emergency health card, and evaluates to what extent we can assure availability and privacy at the same time.

“…In July of 2003, Taiwan's Bureau of National Health Insurance launched a smart card known as "NHI-IC". This card contained embedded computer memory chips that were used to digitally store critical patient information and enable electronic access to medical services [5]. These smart cards required each hospital to have the necessary electronic card readers, software, and network infrastructure to access and update the patient's information.…”
