Abstract
Introduction: The e-prescribing system is one of the basic technologies in the health system structure which was developed with the aim of properly managing healthcare resources and services, preventing common manual prescribing errors, and increasing patient safety. Given that the user interface of e-prescribing system is considered as the main factor of user acceptance, the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the user interface usability of the e-prescribing systems of Iran Health Insurance Organization (IHIO) and Social Security Organization (SSO) in Iran.
Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022. The research sample consisted of 150 physicians working in educational-therapeutic centers of Urmia University of Medical Sciences who were selected through stratified sampling with proportional allocation. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire The validity and reliability o f which were verified. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics and independent t-test using SPSS software.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the user interface SSO and IHIO in general (terms, letters, icons and navigation) and specific (alert display, personalization, entering and displaying information, guidance and interactions) areas. However, there was a statistically significant difference in "color" (P=0.047) and "visibility" (P=0.049).
Conclusion: The user interface of two e-prescribing systems in Iran has an average status in terms of usability. Therefore, it seems necessary for system developers to use aesthetic elements, interaction in the user's language, presentation of useful information in a simple and clear format in the design of the user interface according to the principles of human-computer interaction.

Abstract
Introduction: Electronic health record is one of the fundamental technologies in the health system of any country. This technology provides data that is the basis for providing health services at the patient level, and at the organizational and extra-organizational levels, it is considered the basis for macro-decisions, policy-making, and management of health services. The present study aimed to investigate the extent to which the Iranian electronic health record (SEPAS) has achieved the expected goals of health care and to examine the current working environment of this system from the end user’s perspective.
Methods: The current study was a cross-sectional study that was conducted in 1400. The participants included 70 SEPAS users in 28 hospitals in West Azerbaijan province. The data was collected using a self-structured questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed with the help of descriptive and analytical statistics.
Results: according to the users, the expected goals of the Ministry of Health have been achieved in the area of satisfaction (3.3 ± 1.4) more than in other areas. Also, this system has not been as successful as other cases in achieving the predetermined goals in the field of information management (2.6 ± 1.2). On the other hand, in terms of the current working environment of SEPAS, the economic area (3.6 ± 1.3) received highest score from SEPAS users.
Conclusion: Planning and policy-making for the improvement of Spas based on the current conditions of the working environment should be prioritized by the developers of this system and the Ministry of Health.
