“…In Iran, a number of software vendors have implemented a wide variety of health information systems, including, for example, hospital information systems, primary care information systems, and laboratory information systems. The Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) has also established and implemented an integrated infrastructure for health information exchange ( Bitaraf et al, 2021b ; 2021c ). To electronically collect and exchange health data, any point of care unit (POCU) is now equipped with an information system (e.g., medical laboratories use laboratory information systems (LIS); hospitals use hospital information systems (HIS)).…”

Context Access to real-time data that provide accurate and timely information about the status and extent of disease spread could assist management of the COVID-19 pandemic and inform decision-making. Aim To demonstrate our experience with regard to implementation of technical and architectural infrastructure for a near real-time electronic health record-based surveillance system for COVID-19 in Iran. Method This COVID-19 surveillance system was developed from hospital information and electronic health record (EHR) systems available in the study hospitals in conjunction with a set of open-source solutions; and designed to integrate data from multiple resources to provide near real-time access to COVID-19 patients’ data, as well as a pool of health data for analytical and decision-making purposes. Outcomes Using this surveillance system, we were able to monitor confirmed and suspected cases of COVID-19 in our population and to automatically notify stakeholders. Based on aggregated data collected, this surveillance system was able to facilitate many activities, such as resource allocation for hospitals, including managing bed allocations, providing and distributing equipment and funding, and setting up isolation centres. Conclusion Electronic health record systems and an integrated data analytics infrastructure are effective tools to enable policymakers to make better decisions, and for epidemiologists to conduct improved analyses regarding COVID-19. Implications Improved quality of clinical coding for better case finding, improved quality of health information in data sources, data-sharing agreements, and increased EHR coverage in the population can empower EHR-based COVID-19 surveillance systems.

“…In response to the increasing globalization and rapid advancements in the use of medical technology, researchers paid attention to the field. In the contemporary dynamic settings, the healthcare industry witnessed ISs with higher intensity to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the sector (Ben-Assuli, Shabtai, & Leshno, 2015;Bitaraf et al, 2021). Currently, the application of IS in the health sector is not merely associated with the financial measures but with the more progressive and complex paradigm .…”

“…In the presence of various IS stakeholder groups with different stakes, the criteria for success are different for each of the groups. Therefore, there must be a comprehensive model incorporating all the essential dimensions of success (Bitaraf et al, 2021). For system developers as well as for organizations, it is very important to understand in what ways people using ISrecognize and develop user acceptance, and satisfaction.…”

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of perceived quality of e-health and the perceived usefulness of behavioral intention to use e-health services with moderating role of knowledge on e-health. A quantitative research approach was applied to examine the proposed relationships between variables of the model. A cross-sectional method was used to gather the data from Saudi patients with the help of a self-administrative survey questionnaire. Findings illustrated that IQ, system quality, and perceived usefulness have a significant and positive impact on the behavioral intention to use e-health services of Saudi patients. Moreover, results show that knowledge of e-health significantly moderates the relationship between perceived quality of e-health and perceived usefulness with the patients' intention to use e-health services. This study enriches the body of knowledge regarding e-health usage, patient intention to use services of e-health, and literacy regarding e-health. The findings of the present study improve the understanding of health care executives regarding the use of e-health services intention and how this intention can be improved.
