Results: When the science education dimension and survey data were evaluated, it was observed that the male participants’ information technology readiness was higher than the female participants' information technology readiness. The average score of physicians was 3.5 in our study and it needs a personal effort to have a better information technology skills level. Another observation is that the informatics education dimension changes according to the age group, and it is determined that the participants at the early ages have more qualifications in terms of education.

SummaryBackground: Patient safety concerns every healthcare organization. Adoption of Health information technology (HIT) appears to have the potential to address this issue, however unanticipated and undesirable consequences from implementing HIT could lead to new and more complex hazards. This could be particularly problematic in developing countries, where regulations, policies and implementations are few, less standandarized and in some cases almost non-existing.Methods: Based on the available information and our own experience, we conducted a review of unintended consequences of HIT implementations, as they affect patient safety in developing countries.Results: We found that user dependency on the system, alert fatigue, less communications among healthcare actors and workarounds topics should be prioritize. Institution should consider existing knowledge, learn from other experiences and model their implementations to avoid known consequences. We also recommend that they monitor and communicate their own efforts to expand knowledge in the region.
