The aim of this research is to rank hospital information systems. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in 2013. Research population included hospital information systems of the country. The sample size comprised 16 companies. Data were collected from check lists which included information related to research purposes, and its validity was confirmed by experts. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and SPSS software. Results: In the overall rating of hospital information systems, “Rayavran” with 72.7% ranked the highest and “BuAli designers” with 47.1% ranked the lowest. In rating functional requirements, only three softwares were efficient. Most of these systems were efficient regarding technical requirements and the ability to use the capabilities of the vendor of the systems, and most hospital information systems were inefficient in improving the quality of patient care. Conclusion: In general, hospital information systems in Iran had a moderate performance regarding the studied requirements which requires system managers and designers` consideration and attention.  }, Keywords = {Hospital Information System, Requirements, Technical Requirements, Usability Requirement, Functional Requirements}, volume = {1}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences}, url = {http://jmis.hums.ac.ir/article-1-34-en.html}, eprint = {http://jmis.hums.ac.ir/article-1-34-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Modern Medical Information Sciences}, issn = {2476-6720}, eissn = {2383-3696}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {NematiAnaraki, Leil}, title = {Inter-organizational knowledge sharing: A comprehensive model}, abstract ={Introduction: The dynamism of new economy requires researchers in different disciplines including medicine, not only to create knowledge quickly but also to acquire and apply knowledge through knowledge sharing (KS). So, determining factors that may influence knowledge sharing among organizations has become an important area of research. The purpose of this paper is to identify and determine factors that positively affect knowledge sharing for inter-organizational collaboration among medical research centers and medical universities in Iran, as well as proposal of a comprehensive model for it. Methods: The method of this paper in data collection is mixed methods and applied research that was conducted in 2012. The faculty members of medical universities and research centers supervised by the Ministry of Health Treatment and Medical Education the population of the research included where “stratified random sampling” was used and a minimum required capacity of 423 people was provided.

Methods: This descriptive-analytical study evaluated 1286 Global inpatient records in Fekri hospital affiliated to Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences. First the actual cost of care and length of stay for each of the global records was extracted using the hospital information system. Then the average cost and patient's stay for each of global procedures were compared with the cost and length of stay determined by Iran global system. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and T-test was used to test the research questions. Results: One quarter of all inpatient records belonged to global payment system. 62% of global records belonged to OB/GY operations, 20% to general surgery and 18% to ophthalmic surgery. The analysis of the cost of 86% of surgery global records showed to be beneficial for the hospital, where 91% of these cost differences were found to be significant. For more than 99% of cases in global system, the average length of stay was less than average standard length of stay, and for 64% cases this difference was found to be statistically significant.
