BACKGROUND Evaluating Health Information System (HIS) quality is strategically advantageous for improving patient care quality. Nevertheless, there is little research evidence identifying and describing what standards, processes, and tools are used to evaluate HIS quality. OBJECTIVE This study aims to illustrate, detail, and discuss the current scenario regarding the standards, norms, processes, and tools used to evaluate HIS quality. METHODS We conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) using review guidelines focused on software and systems. We examined seven electronic databases (Scopus, ACM, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplorer, the Web of Science and PubMed) to search and select primary studies. Three researchers and three collaborators participated in the review and quality assessment process of the studies. RESULTS We identified 17 primary studies that have been published in journals and conferences. We found that most of the primary studies address quality evaluation from a management perspective. Second, there is little explicit and pragmatic evidence on the processes and tools that allow evaluation of HIS quality. CONCLUSIONS To promote quality evaluation of HISs, it is necessary to define mechanisms and methods that operationalize the standards and norms of HISs. Additionally, it is necessary to create metrics that measure the quality of the most critical components and processes of HISs. CLINICALTRIAL Does not apply to our study

The significant number of publications describing unsuccessful cases in the introduction of health information systems makes it advisable to analyze the factors that may be contributing to such failures. However, the very notion of success is not equally assumed in all publications. Based in a literature review, the authors argue that the introduction of systems must be based in an eclectic combination of knowledge fields, adopting methodologies that strengthen the role of organizational culture and human resources in this project, as a whole. On the other hand, the authors argue that the introduction of systems should be oriented by a previously defined matrix of factors, against which the success can be measured.

AbstractLong treatment for tuberculosis, which is 6 months, often makes patients feel bored and forgets to take medicine and causes non-compliance. The development of increasingly high use of smartphones, along with the use of information technology in health, especially for tuberculosis patients, makes many things accessible to patients. By using smartphones, the patients can access the MHealth application, DCC (Drugs Consumption Calendar), SMS gateway, voice calls, and video calls which provide health information and care for tuberculosis patients. It also can make patients obedient to taking medication to increase the TB cure rate. To describe the use of health information technology in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The design of this study used a literature review of five articles from the PubMed database and Google Scholar. The instrument critical appraisal in this research used Strobe. There were 791 tuberculosis patients (76%) who used information technology in the form of mobile phones. The types of information used included Short Massage Service (SMS) (31% or 246 patients), using the telephone (17.4% or 221 tuberculosis patients), and using video calls (25, 1% or 199 patients). The health information. generally, were a schedule for taking medication and control, reminder to take medication, reporting if there were side effects that occur during treatment, prevention, transmission, food, and patient diet and counseling. The use of health information technology is very helpful in the treatment of TB patients starting from text messages, video calls, and voice calls to improve medication adherence in tuberculosis patients.Keywords: Mobile Health App, SMS, Tuberculosis, Information Technologv, Video Call AbstrakPengobatan tuberkulosis yang lama yaitu 6 bulan sering membuat pasien jenuh dan lupa untuk meminum obat serta menimbulkan ketidak patuhan. Perkembangan pengunaan smartphone yang semakin tinggi, diiringi dengan teknologi informasi dalam kesehatan khususnya pada pasien tuberculosis mulai banyak bermunculan yang dapat diakses menggunakan smartphone diantaranya adalah aplikasi M-Health, DCC (Drugs Consumption Calender), SMS gateway, pangilan suara, video call yang dapat memberikan informasi kesehatan serta perawatan bagi pasien tuberkulosis dan dapat membuat pasien TB patuh minum obat sehingga meningkatkan angka kesembuhan TB. Untuk mengetahui gambaran pengunaan teknologi informasi kesehatan pada pasien tuberculosis paru. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan literature review terhadap lima artikel dari data database PubMed dan Google Scholarinstrument critical appraisal penelitian ini menggunakan Strobe. Sebanyak 791 pasien tuberkulosis (76%) menggunakan teknologi informasi berupa handphone. Jenis informasi yang digunakan antara lain Short Massage Service (SMS) 246 pasien tuberkulosis (31%), penggunaan telefon 221 atau (17,4 %) pasien tuberkulosis, dan yang menggunkan video call sebanyak 199 pasien tuberculosis paru (25,1%). Informasi kesehatan yang diperoleh dari masing-masing artikel umumnya berisi jadwal pengambilan obat dan kontrol, menginggatkan minum obat, melaporkan jika ada efek samping yang timbul pada saat pengobatan, pencegahan, penularan, makanan dan diet pasien serta penyuluhan.Pengunaan teknologi informasi kesehatan sangat membantu dalam pengobatan pasien TB mulai dari pesanteks, pangilan video dan pangilan suara meningkatkan kepatuhan pengobatan pada pasien Tuberkulosis.Kata kunci: Mobile Health App; SMS, Tuberkulosis; Teknologi Informasi; Video Call
