Hospital Information Systems (HIS) implementation is a complex process which is critical for modernizing healthcare delivery. This study aims to investigate, analyze, and present a suitable model for HIS implementation adaptable to the social and working culture of hospital personnel.
This applied research employs a narrative review method. Library texts and internet sources were used to gather data on HIS implementation. Available literature was studied and analyzed to select and present a suitable model, which was domesticated based on the hospital needs and expert opinions.
The study revealed several challenges in HIS implementation, including lack of comprehensive planning, insufficient user engagement (especially medical doctors), unclear value for users, parallel manual and computerized systems, and undefined user roles. However, some cases demonstrated well-defined elementary training and system accessibility for users. Successful HIS implementation requires meticulous planning for time, cost, and human resources. Hospital managers' financial support and involvement in decision-making are crucial. User cooperation can be enhanced through training and demonstration of system capabilities. The proposed model addresses these issues, potentially solving implementation challenges. Key factors for success include stakeholder engagement, comprehensive planning, gradual implementation, continuous training, and ongoing evaluation
