Abstract

Introduction: Database design by taking into account the components of user interface, usability and technical issues, is a key indicator of quick access to the required information of the users. Ovid assessment criterion evaluates databases in terms of user interface, usability and technical issues. The purpose of the present paper is to determine the important elements in the design of user interface, usability, and technical issues of databases.

Methods: The present study is an applied study that has been conducted through Literature Review method and the required information was collected through the study of resources and by searching for articles on websites and in databases of relevant literature (the components of Ovid assessment criterion). Validity of Ovid assessment criterion was confirmed by 5 experts of Library and Information Sciences. Free Plane software has been used to draw the components of Ovid assessment criterion.

Results: Findings showed that in order to evaluate usability, technical issues and databases user interface, the Ovid criterion uses 48 sub-components grouped in six main criteria (including search, services, display, Links, guides or documentations, and performance). In addition, the search criterion consists of 20 sub-components, display criterion have 11 sub-components, services criterion has 6 sub-components, links criterion has 2 sub-components, guiding criterion has 4 sub-components, and performance criterion has 5 sub-components.

Conclusion: Designers must pay attention to user interface, usability and technical issues because these components play an important role in facilitating information routing and users can in the shortest time and simply to meet their information needs. In fact, by complying with a standard or criterion in creating databases, rate of access to the required information is considerably increased.

Abstract

Aim: Due to the importance of continuous evaluation of medical records to meet the stakeholders' needs and the lack of a comprehensive and unique tool in this field, this comparative study was conducted with the aim of investigating the quantitative evaluation indicators of inpatient medical records and validation of the proposed tool.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in a descriptive-comparative method in 2019. Quantitative evaluation checklists for medical records were collected by reviewing articles and guidelines. Theas data were collected by using internet search on Google and Google Scholar and scientific databases such as Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, SID, and Iran DOC. Keywords related to quantitative evaluation of medical records were used to search. The primary tool was developed according to sources frequency. The primary tool was surveyed by Delphi method in a round of 10 academic members of the Health Information Technology faculty A focus-group meeting was held to examine the feasibility of the proposed tools. The data were analyzed by using Excell software 2016.
Results: A total of 51 hospital checklists, 44 articles and 10 related national and international guidelines were reviewed. Based on the frequency and importance of the indicators studied in these sources, a proposed tool for quantitative evaluation of the file was developed at four levels. Finally, after dolphin agreement and focus-group meeting, one tool with 20 main indicators was presented at four levels: red level (with critical errors), orange (major errors), yellow (minor errors), and green (no such errors) were presented.
Conclusion: The tool presented in this study will be practical because of its prioritization feature between indicators and error classification for evaluating, comparing, and following the improvement of inpatients' medical records   in different wards in terms of documentation priorities.

Abstract

Aim: Nowadays, the concentration of information systems evaluation is changing from technical issues toward humanoid and organizational subjects. To evaluate the interrelationships between these three dimensions in health systems, the HOT-Fit Assessment Framework (HOT-Fit) was proposed in 2006. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify accurate criteria for evaluating systems based on this model.
Information sources or data: In the field of health information evaluation using HOT-Fit criteria, articles in PubMed, Scopus, and Persian e-databases including Iran Public Information Database (Magiran), Iran University Jihad Scientific Information Database, and Irandoc were searched from 2006 to 2019.
Selection methods for study: The extracted articles were reviewed by content analysis method. From 1062 articles, 18 articles were selected after eliminating duplicated articles and unrelated articles according to their title, abstract and full text.
Combine content and Results: After reviewing evaluation criteria of health information systems using HOT-Fit framework, 130 benchmarks were obtained from databases in four different dimensions including technical (n=51), organizational (n=36), human (n=33) and net profit dimensions (n=10).
Conclusion: In this comprehensive review, we tried to provide a practical and comprehensive view of the evaluation of hospital information systems using the HOT-Fit model. This model can be used for all health hospital information system. Generally, the results of this review can be useful for information technology policymakers in determining health information systems evaluation criteria.

Abstract

Objective The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to many visits of patients to medical centers which has subsequently affected the performance evaluation of hospitals. One of the important non-financial performance measures is medical professional ethics. This study aims to evaluate the performance and rank the hospitals in Shiraz, Iran based on medical professional ethics affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods Based on the balanced scorecard (BCS) method, the indicators were divided into four perspectives. Then, using the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method, the causality between the four BSC perspectives as well as the relative weights between the evaluation indicators were determined. The fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was used to rank the performance of 37 hospitals. The DEA model ranked the decision-making units (DMUs) based on efficiency.
Results The DMUs (hospitals) 1, 3, 5, 8, 12, 13, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 36 and 37 were efficient, while others were inefficient. 
Conclusion The efficiency of hospitals in Shiraz is lower in learning and growth perspective than in other perspectives, and all hospitals are efficient in terms of customer perspective. This indicates that hospital managers pay less attention to learning and growth and more attention to the customer (patients) perspective during the COVID-19 pandemic.
