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.

“…The HITECH legislation further authorized the creation of federal programs to rapidly build capacity for exchanging information across the health care system (8,9). Other countries have adopted national policies to RUNNING HEAD: IDENTIFYING HEALTH FACILITIES 4 encourage HIE (10)(11)(12). All these HIE efforts require merging of patients' records across multiple care providers within and between health care systems.…”

Objective: To support collation of data for disability determination, we sought to accurately identify facilities where care was delivered across multiple, independent hospitals and clinics.Methods: Data from various institutions' electronic health records were merged and delivered as continuity of care documents to the United States Social Security Administration (SSA).Results: Electronic records for nearly 8,000 disability claimants were exchanged with SSA. Due to the lack of standard nomenclature for identifying the facilities in which patients received the care documented in the electronic records, SSA could not match the information received with information provided by disability claimants. Facility identifiers were generated arbitrarily by health care systems and therefore could not be mapped to existing international standards.Discussion: We propose strategies for improving facility identification in electronic health records to support improved tracking of a patient's care between providers to better serve clinical care delivery, disability determination, health reform, and meaningful use.Conclusion: Accurately identifying the facilities where health care is delivered to patients is important to a number of major health reform and improvement efforts underway in many nations. A standardized nomenclature for identifying health care facilities is needed to improve tracking of care and linking of electronic health records.

In addition, effective strategies for closing the gap between national standards and existing legacy systems were identified as a challenge in implementing the e-health system by our participants as well as by others in the United Kingdom 12,13 and in Canada.…”
