“…Public hospitals are generally overcrowded with patients and their families, which produces an unpleasant environment in and around the facilities. This can also result in inefficient system implementation, which causes a time lag and requires patience to wait for extended periods to get treatment [4]. EMR have become a standard practice in developed countries, revolutionizing the way by which healthcare provider store and access patient information.…”

Background: An Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is an essential tool for delivering high-quality healthcare in a hospital. In recent years, hospitals have increased their investment in EMRs to improve the level of integrated management of information. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of using EMR among healthcare providers (HCPs) in a corporate hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 153 HCPs (doctors, nurses, lab technicians, drug dispensers, billing managers, and administrative personnel) who have access to EMR and working in a selected corporate hospital of Dhaka city. The study period was January to December 2019. HCPs were selected by convenience sampling technique. Data were collected by face-to-face interview using semi structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done by IBM SPSS software. Ethical issues were maintained strictly. Result: Study revealed that 59.5% HCPs were in the age group of 18-29 years with the mean age being 29.26 (±7.58) years. Only 32.7% HCPs had previous experience of using this type of software before working in the current hospital and 62.7% got technical training on EMR within the current hospital. The majority (81.7%) of the HCPs found that the technical training was effective for using the EMR software. The difficulty of using EMR was significantly associated with the age (p<0.001), gender (p<0.001), professional status (p<0.001) and highest level of education (p<0.001) of the HCPs. HCPs ability to overcome job related challenges was significantly associated with the professional status of them (p<0.001). HCPs perception regarding effectiveness of EMR was found significantly associated with their place of technical training (p=0.004) and duration of the training (p=0.012). Conclusion: EMR can be a helpful tool for the health service providers to provider health services at the corporate hospitals. Digital literacy need to be increased among the HCPs to ensure effective use of EMRs. Regular maintenance and upgrades of the technology infrastructure are necessary for advanced record-keeping and quality service. JOPSOM 2021; 41(2):12-19

“…eHealth systems have evolved from systems with a recording function that systematically collects and disseminates data (Borzekowski, 2009) to integrated systems that strive to achieve better health outcomes (Bernardi, 2017). eHealth today, thus, encompasses a wide range of technologies (Hameed et al, 2016), such as Management Information Systems (MIS) (Chen and Cheng, 2008), electronic health records (EHR) (Moerenhout et al, 2018), clinical IS (Mahmudul et al, 2013), computerized decision-support systems (Moja et al, 2014), and computerized order-entry systems (Murray–Weir et al, 2014).…”

Recently, many countries, including developing countries, have struggled to manage rising healthcare costs and challenges around decreasing quality of care. Previous studies suggest that electronic health systems could significantly improve the quality of care and facilitate better access to care. However, there is still a lack of studies providing sufficient evidence around how this can be achieved. This case study examines how a hospital uses its electronic health (eHealth) systems to offer better access, quality, and value by leveraging the principles of value-based care for its patients. This case study provides critical insights for healthcare stakeholders, public hospitals, especially in developing countries, healthcare providers and policymakers and proffers an approach to leverage the principles of value-based care when developing eHealth systems to offer better overall health and well-being services to their patients.

PurposeThis study investigated two key aspects: (1) how a hospital bundles limited resources for preventive care performance and (2) how to develop IS capabilities to enhance preventive care performance.Design/methodology/approachA case study method was adopted to examine how a hospital integrates its limited resources which leads to the need for resource bundles and an understanding of IS capabilities development to understand how they contribute to the delivery of preventive care in a Malaysian hospital.FindingsThis research proposes a comprehensive framework outlining resource-bundling and IS capabilities development to improve preventive care.Research limitations/implicationsWe acknowledge that the problem of transferring and generalizing results has been a common criticism of a single case study. However, our objective was to enhance the reader’s understanding by including compelling, detailed narratives demonstrating how our research results offer practical examples that can be generalized theoretically. The findings also apply to similar-sized public hospitals in Malaysia and other developing countries, facing challenges like resource constraints, HIS adoption levels, healthcare workforce shortages, cultural and linguistic diversity, bureaucratic hurdles, and specific patient demographics and health issues. Further, lessons from this context can be usefully applied to non-healthcare service sector domains.Practical implicationsThis study provides a succinct strategy for enhancing preventive care in Malaysian public hospitals, focusing on system integration and alignment with hospital strategy, workforce diversity through recruitment and mentorship, and continuous training for health equity and inclusivity. This approach aims to improve resource efficiency, communication, cultural competence, and healthcare outcomes.Social implicationsEfficiently using limited resources through HIS investment is essential to improve preventive care and reduce chronic diseases, which cause approximately nine million deaths annually in Southeast Asia, according to WHO. This issue has significantly impacted the socioeconomic development of developing countries.Originality/valueThis research refines resource orchestration theory with new mechanisms for resource mobilization, extends IS literature by identifying how strategic bundling forms specialized healthcare IS capabilities, enriches preventive care literature through actionable resource-bundling activities, and adds to HIS literature by advocating for an integrated, preventive care focus from the alignment of HIS design, people and institutional policies to address concerns raised by other research regarding the utilization of HIS in improving the quality of preventive care.
