“…Generally, HRIS helps the top management personnel in their strategic decision making process regarding recruitment, selection, placement, termination, training, development, and payroll. However, the HRIS for hospital management includes several subsystems for effective healthcare delivery [ 79 ]. The Hospital Information Subsystems (HIS) of HRIS provides information services to patients, guests, physicians, nurses and others by making necessary information available to the designated users.…”

The aim of this research is to explore factors influencing the management decisions to adopt human resource information system (HRIS) in the hospital industry of Bangladesh—an emerging developing country. To understand this issue, this paper integrates two prominent adoption theories—Human-Organization-Technology fit (HOT-fit) model and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. Thirteen factors under four dimensions were investigated to explore their influence on HRIS adoption decisions in hospitals. Employing non-probability sampling method, a total of 550 copies of structured questionnaires were distributed among HR executives of 92 private hospitals in Bangladesh. Among the respondents, usable questionnaires were 383 that suggesting a valid response rate of 69.63%. We classify the sample into 3 core groups based on the HRIS initial implementation, namely adopters, prospectors, and laggards. The obtained results specify 5 most critical factors i.e. IT infrastructure, top management support, IT capabilities of staff, perceived cost, and competitive pressure. Moreover, the most significant dimension is technological dimension followed by organisational, human, and environmental among the proposed 4 dimensions. Lastly, the study found existence of significant differences in all factors across different adopting groups. The study results also expose constructive proposals to researchers, hospitals, and the government to enhance the likelihood of adopting HRIS. The present study has important implications in understanding HRIS implementation in developing countries.

Introduction: Knowledge is a strategic resource in health care organisations and knowledge management (KM) is applied as an effective solution to overcome challenges, such as rising health care cost and increasing demands for improving quality of care. The aim of this review was to identify factors influencing the success of KM process in health care organisations of developed and developing countries. Methods: This review was conducted in 2018. The sources used for searching relevant papers were PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Knowledge, EMBASE and Google Scholar, and the time frame was between 1980 and 2017. The search terms were KM, health care services administration, health care organisation, hospital and clinic which were combined by using AND/OR Boolean operators. Results: In this review, 13 papers were included. The main success factors influencing KM implementation in health care organisations were organisational culture, information technology, organisational structure, and performance evaluation and measurement. In developed countries, organisational culture was the most frequent factor, while in developing countries, organisational culture and information technology were the most frequent ones. Conclusion: It seems that in developed and developing countries, organisational factors are the most frequent factors influencing successful KM in health care organisations.• There are different factors influencing a successful implementation of knowledge management projects in health care organisations.• Developing countries can learn from developed countries to implement successful knowledge management projects.• Health sciences librarians can help health care organisations and health care staff as knowledge brokers to gain the relevant skills and knowledge to make evidence based decisions leading to excellent and safe patient care.• More formal education and continuing professional education are needed to make the knowledge brokers able to implement knowledge management initiatives in health care organisations.
