Abstract:

 

E-health is defined as the use of electronically–supported applications in the field  of healthcare. One of the subsidiaries of e-health is Health Information System  (HIS), more specifically Hospital information System (HoIS) which has been  recently transformed from paper-based Information System (IS) into electronic  one. Although not all healthcare organizations have gone through the  transformation process completely, the evaluation of HIS has been the concern of  many scholars. In this paper, a hierarchical structure for HoIS evaluation is  developed using the available recent literature. Subsequently, Analytic Hierarchy  Process (AHP)-based questionnaires were designed and data was collected from  HoIS professional users and experts working at Tehran Private Hospitals. The  respondents were asked to make pairwise comparisons between each two criteria  regarding their importance in the HoIS evaluation process. By employing Group  AHP method, weights will be assigned to each criteria presented in the  hierarchical structure and the final framework can be used as a guideline for  healthcare managers and HoIS software providers.
