Summary Objectives: To identify current developments, obstacles, and opportunities for health information systems. Methods: International reports werediscussed during an IMIA HIS Working Conference with a focus on architectural design, project goals and drivers, obstacles, and opportunities. Results: Technology and standards are available to build regional and national health IT networks, and successful implementations are currently being realized. There is, however, little consensus and communication concerning goals, benefits and risks of large-scale health IT initiatives. Complexity tends to be underestimated, and the public needs to be more involved in the decision-making process. Conclusion: On all levels and across borders, a climate of exchange of ideas, experiences – both successes and failures-, policies, standards, systems, and information should be created.

Traditionally, little attention has been paid by hospitals to the key issues in the health information systems (HIS) outsourcing decision-making process. This is important given that the HIS outsourcing can play a key role in assisting hospitals in achieving its business objectives. However, the decision-making process of HIS outsourcing in hospitals is under-studied, especially in the management of their HIS outsourcing contracts. Therefore, the main objectives of this book chapter are to: (1) examine key issues surrounding the management and implementation of HIS outsourcing in Taiwanese hospitals; and (2) identify issues that are crucial in managing and implementing HIS outsourcing in hospitals. Four key issues and problems were identified in the HIS outsourcing process: lack of implementation in IS investment evaluation process, problems in managing HIS outsourcing contracts, lack of user involvement and participation in HIS outsourcing process, and failure to retain critical HIS contract management skills and project management capabilities in-house. Solutions and recommendations are provided to deal with key issues that are critical in the management and implementation of HIS outsourcing in hospitals.

Information Systems Use

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze the use of Health Information Systems in the decision-making process by the management from cities located in Southern Bahia, Brazil. A qualitative approach was employed; subjects were 16 secretaries of health. Data were collected through interviews and subject to the content analysis technique; Knowledge Management was used as the theoretical framework. The managers are still beginners in the use of Health Information Systems; several actors are involved in the decision; there is low qualification in Health Information Systems; managements implement innovation, even if incipiently; difficulties happen when a new system is established and because of internet access. It was concluded that Health Information Systems' use to support knowledge production has not reached yet its full potential; it is suggested that management should promote the strengthening of the information culture and should seek to construct knowledge based on the expertise of different actors for the decision.

Background: The National Health Information Network (NHIN) is one of the key issues in health information systems in any country. However, the development of this network should be based on an appropriate framework. Unfortunately, the conducted projects of health information systems in the Ministry of Health of Iran do not fully comply with the concept of NHIN. The present study was aimed to develop a general framework for NHIN in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this study, in the first stage, the required information about the concept of the NHIN framework and related NHIN documents in the USA and the UK were collected based on a literature review. Then, according to the results of the first stage and with regards to the structure of the Iranian health system, a general framework for Iranian NHIN was proposed. The Delphi technique was conducted to verify the framework. Results: The proposed framework for Iranian NHIN includes three dimensions; components, principles, and architecture. Over 80% of experts have evaluated all three aspects of the framework at an acceptable scale. In total, the proposed framework has been evaluated by 83.8% of the experts at an acceptable scale. Conclusion: The proposed framework was expected to serve as the starting point for moving towards the design and creation of Iranian NHIN. At any rate, the framework could be criticized, and it could only be used for the countries whose health system is similar to the structure of the health system in Iran. [GMJ.2020;9:e1792]
